Synology Unveils Next-Gen NAS, Storage, and Cloud Innovations at COMPUTEX 2025

Synology stunned crowds at COMPUTEX 2025 in Taipei with a broad portfolio of new data management solutions spanning enterprise NAS, backup, surveillance, and cloud services. Among the highlights were a top-of-the-line NVMe storage array (the PAS7700) and a cloud-based video management system (C2 Surveillance), showcasing the company’s commitment to high-performance and hybrid-cloud applications. In introducing these products, Synology made it clear that they’re prioritizing security, performance, and user-friendliness for both businesses and consumers alike.

“At Synology, our goal has always been to build a data management ecosystem our customers can trust,” said Chairman and CEO Philip Wong. In practice, that means new hardware and software designed for data-intensive workloads, robust data backup and scalable storage. For example, the PAS7700 is a dual-controller, all-NVMe flagship NAS array for mission-critical workloads, while the ActiveProtect DP7200 is a turnkey backup appliance with built-in immutability to guard against ransomware. Synology also debuted cloud and productivity offerings such as its license-free C2 Surveillance VMS and private-cloud apps ChatPlus and Synology Meet that complement its core NAS lineup

PAS7700: NVMe Powerhouse for Enterprise Workloads

Synology new PAS7700 sets a new bar for enterprise NAS. This 4U, 48-bay all-flash array uses an active-active dual-controller design to ensure non-stop operation. It scales to 1.65 PB of raw capacity with seven expansion units attached, supports high-speed 100GbE networking, and offers rich data protection features (3-2-1-1 replication, immutable snapshots, encryption). In internal testing, the PAS7700 delivered up to 2 million IOPS random read and 30 GB/s sequential throughput roughly three times the speed of previous Synology models.

“PAS7700 is the culmination of Synology 25 years of engineering experience in data management and storage,” said Kenneth Hsu, Synology Director of the System Group. He noted that Synology tight hardware/software integration delivers this ultra-high performance at a price point previously unseen in the enterprise market. In short, PAS7700 aims to give enterprises primary-storage-grade performance and availability (including optional high-availability clustering) at mainstream storage costs.

ActiveProtect DP7200: Enterprise-Grade Data Backup

Data protection was another Computex focus. Synology expanded its ActiveProtect backup lineup with the DP7200 appliance. This 12-bay device can serve as either a standalone backup server in branch offices or as a central CMS (Central Management Server) host at headquarters, providing unified data backup across the organization. Crucially, DP7200 has immutable storage and network-isolation features built in to safeguard backups from cyberattacks; as Synology notes, it ensures “clean, recoverable copies of their data are always available” when needed. In combination with Synology Active Backup Suite software, DP7200 supports comprehensive backup for Windows, Linux, VMware/Hyper-V virtual machines and cloud services, making it a versatile solution for business continuity.

Cloud Video Surveillance: C2 Surveillance & BeeStation Plus

On the surveillance front, Synology introduced C2 Surveillance, a cloud-native video management system. Unlike traditional NVRs, C2 Surveillance is “server-less” and license-free: cameras and sites connect directly to Synology cloud platform. The service provides centralized management with Windows AD and role-based access controls, making it ideal for multi-site deployments. It also supports continuous local edge recording with automatic offline failover, ensuring critical camera feeds remain active even if the internet link drops. In effect, Synology now offers both on-site surveillance storage (via its NVR appliances and HDDs) and a scalable cloud VMS that works without local hardware.

For homes and SMBs, Synology debuted BeeStation Plus an 8 TB private cloud NAS aimed at families and creative teams. BeeStation Plus touts up to 4.8× the performance of the original BeeStation, enabling faster backups and media streaming. It automatically consolidates files and photos from phones, computers, external drives and cloud libraries (e.g. iCloud) into one personal cloud.

Built-in AI tools let users search photo libraries locally (face and object recognition) without sending data offsite, and it includes a pre-installed Plex Media Server for on-demand video streaming. “The BeeStation lineup was designed to let everyday users benefit from a cloud-like environment without needing advanced storage or networking knowledge,” said Synology product manager Mayi. BeeStation Plus also enforces 3-2-1 backup by default: it provides snapshot-based local recovery and a three-month Synology BeeProtect cloud backup trial to protect data offsite.

Synology NAS Expands: New DiskStation Models

Synology refreshed its DiskStation NAS lineup for power users and SMEs. The new DS725+ (2-bay, AMD Ryzen CPU) and DS425+ (4-bay, Intel Celeron) are compact, high-speed systems designed for home office and edge use. Both models include a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port plus a 1 Gbps port, and support dual M.2 NVMe SSDs for caching or all-flash storage.

As Synology product manager Anya Lin explained, “These new units offer remarkable performance and capability for their size”. The DS725+ supports an optional DX525 expansion (adding up to 5 bays) to reach 140 TB raw capacity, while the DS425+ holds up to 80 TB with no expansion. Both run Synology DSM software, offering features like Synology Drive (team sync/private cloud) and Active Backup Suite, making them versatile for remote work and data backup tasks.

Also launched were mid-range Plus-series models DS1525+ (5-bay) and DS1825+ (8-bay), both powered by AMD Ryzen processors. These systems come with dual 2.5GbE LAN ports and two M.2 NVMe slots, and can be upgraded to 10GbE via plug-in network module. In lab tests, the DS1825+ delivered up to 2,239 MB/s sequential read and 1,573 MB/s write, while the DS1525+ hit about 1,181 MB/s in both directions.

Both models support two DX525 expansion units (5 bays each), scaling to 300–360 TB raw when fully expanded. “These two models offer a powerful foundation for data management and collaboration,” said Synology Owen Liao. They join the company’s drive compatibility program (7000+ hours of testing) and continue the trend of requiring Synology-certified HDDs for optimal reliability.

RackStation RS2825RP+: Scalable 3U Storage

For rack-mounted needs, Synology launched the RS2825RP+, a 3U, 16-bay RackStation tailored to SME. It includes dual power supplies and hot-swappable drives for maximum uptime. The RS2825RP+ delivers up to 3.5 GB/s sequential read and 1.79 GB/s write (measured with SSDs) to accelerate file services and backups. With a compatible RX1225RP expansion unit, it can reach 560 TB raw storage, suitable for growing data volumes. “The RS2825RP+ is designed to deliver dependable performance, scalability, and resilience without compromising affordability,” said Synology product manager Peggy Weng. It comes with one built-in 10GbE port (plus two Gigabit) and PCIe slots for optional 25GbE networking, supporting high-throughput applications.

ChatPlus & Synology Meet: Secure Collaboration

Beyond hardware, Synology expanded its private-cloud software suite. ChatPlus is a new team-messaging platform with advanced channel management and granular permissions, while Synology Meet provides enterprise-grade video conferencing. Both run on Synology own cloud infrastructure (not third-party), so organizations retain full data ownership and privacy. These tools fit into Synology strategy of combining on-premises NAS with cloud services, for example, its Hybrid Share solution lets organizations build hybrid-cloud storage pools from multiple NAS locations. In short, Synology new lineup emphasizes an integrated approach to storage and cloud: on-prem NAS hardware plus cloud-enabled services for backup, surveillance and collaboration.

Synology COMPUTEX 2025 announcements underscore the company’s broad roadmap. From the PAS7700 NVMe array at the top end to BeeStation Plus on the consumer end, the focus is on high-speed, secure data management. Analysts say these moves position Synology well as businesses adopt hybrid-cloud strategies and demand stronger ransomware defenses. The company has indicated more software features and AI-driven innovations are coming later this year. For now, customers can explore the new devices on Synology website or at its Taipei booth, and keep an eye on future firmware updates.
