The new GS range reinforces and enhances the RS and SA ranges of storage servers in rackable format. This generation not only offers more capacity options, with up to 60 units mounted in a rack just 4U high, but they are designed to scale across multiple units working in parallel.
For this, Synology not only offers storage units within the GS range, such as the new Synology GS6200 either Synology GS6400but also a switch oriented to this solution that allows rapid and coordinated management of this new professional solution.
The new drives will come with default storage configurations, likely based on the latest Synology HAT5310 and HAS5310 drives with storage capabilities. up to 20TB per drive. Together, clusters based on these new GS units could scale up to 20 Petabytes of capacity per storage group.
We still don’t have many details about the hardware that will drive these high-capacity and high-performance units, but everything indicates that Synology will continue to entrust its most advanced and complete solutions to EPYC processors signed by AMD.
Until now their most powerful unit came equipped with a AMD EPYC 7272 with 12 cores in a single socket. Most likely, these new units can already incorporate 8th generation EPYC processors in very similar core configurations.
