Synology launches PAS7700 NVMe storage for high demand firms
The PAS7700 features a dual-controller setup and incorporates 48 NVMe SSD bays within a 4U chassis. It supports scaling up to 1.65 PB of raw capacity with the integration of seven additional expansion units. The device is designed to accommodate a wide range of file and block protocols, including NVMe-oF.
According to Synology, the PAS7700 offers memory that can be expanded up to 2,048GB, along with support for 100GbE networking. This configuration is intended to deliver high throughput and availability that meet modern enterprise data storage requirements.
The PAS7700's active-active dual-controller architecture is described as providing uninterrupted operations at all system levels, encompassing storage media, memory, system processes, network, and protocols. The system incorporates built-in 3-2-1-1 protection features, which include immutable snapshots, replication, and options for offsite tiering and backup, all intended to protect data integrity.
Performance figures provided by Synology indicate that the PAS7700 is designed to achieve up to 2 million IOPS and 30GB/s sequential throughput. "PAS7700 is the culmination of Synology's 25 years of engineering experience in data management and storage," said Kenneth Hsu, Director of the System Group at Synology. "By combining our deep software and hardware development expertise with close collaboration with partners and enterprise customers, we've engineered PAS7700 to deliver ultra-high performance at a price point previously unseen in the enterprise storage market."
The system leverages an end-to-end NVMe design to reach low latency performance measured in milliseconds, which is particularly relevant for demanding enterprise workloads. Synology states that, in addition to performance benefits, the PAS7700 supports its suite of applications, such as Synology Drive and Synology Office, leading to a threefold increase in the maximum number of concurrent users compared to the company's prior product lines.
Cost efficiency is a highlighted aspect of the PAS7700, with Synology stating it combines primary storage-grade performance and reliability with mainstream storage costs. The device includes both inline and offline deduplication functions, designed to allow organisations to balance storage efficiency with application performance.
The PAS7700 is scheduled to become available in the second half of 2025. Synology notes that the performance figures cited are based on its internal testing, and that actual results may vary depending on operational conditions, system usage, and configuration specifics.
Synology indicates that the system's overall design and feature set are based on continual development in response to partner and enterprise customer input over several years. The machine's security and data protection features position it for use in settings where high availability and business continuity are priorities.

Luxon to tell National faithful 'we're turning the corner'
National leader Christopher Luxon. Photo: RNZ / Nick Monro National Party members are gathering in Christchurch to cap off a week in which MPs attempted to steer public minds back towards the government's cost of living policies. Members will also farewell a party stalwart, with former president Peter Goodfellow retiring from National's board of directors. While leader Christopher Luxon will be speaking to the converted, he will be acutely aware the cost of living has become front of mind . Earlier this week, he was asked what his message to the party faithful would be. "Look, they know it's been a tough time, they know that we're turning the corner," Luxon said. "But really ... this country's got great potential and a great future ahead of it, and we've just got to keep working at it." National's deputy leader, Nicola Willis, said the conference would be focused on the steps the government was taking to make the country "an easier, better place to do business, to hire people, to create well paying jobs". "It is our job as a government not to moan about the things we can't control, but to focus on how we can make things better here in New Zealand, and we're very proud of the efforts we're making," she said. It is a stark contrast to this time last year, where Luxon's message ahead of the first conference since National returned to government was its focus on action and delivery . It shows just how much the cost of living crisis is lingering, and National has spent the week attempting to convince the public it has got it under control. With no announcement to make at this week's post-Cabinet press conference (bar the card surcharge ban, which had already been announced), Luxon and Willis gave a more than 10-minute address about the economy and cost of living, and actions the government had taken. "The most important thing we can do to make you better off is to double-down on our long-term economic plan," Luxon said. Willis used her speech to remind people of National's tax changes, FamilyBoost policy and a falling Official Cash Rate. It prompted Labour to accuse the government of "more spin than a front-load washing machine" . The latest Ipsos Issues Monitor has Labour in front of National as the party New Zealanders consider most able to handle the cost of living, despite releasing no substantive policy since the election. In 2023, National won 38.06 percent of the party vote, but since then has failed to poll above that. Recent polls have had National in the low thirties, with some showing the left bloc would have enough numbers to form a government. Other polls give the coalition the numbers to form a government, but only just. National party ministers will hold panels on health, education, law and order, agriculture, and the economy and cost of living. Members will also elect board positions. Long-serving board member and former party president Peter Goodfellow will be retiring from the board. Goodfellow was president from 2009 to 2022 before stepping down but remaining on the board. ANZCO Foods founder Sir Graeme Harrison, who joined the National board in 2021, has also decided to retire. Current board member Rachel Bird is up for re-election. Under National's constitution and rules, board members serve three years and then retire. They can then be eligible for re-election. Craig Carr, Andrew von Dadelszen and Edgar Wilson have also put their names forward for the vacancies. Party president Sylvia Wood and board members Jannita Pilisi, Stefan Sunde and David Ryan are not up for re-election, and so will remain on the board.

Pacific news in brief for 1 August
Nauru President David Adeang does not think the regional processing centre has done reputational damage to Nauru and instead blamed journalists for not being balanced in their reporting. Photo: Caleb Fotheringham Nauru President David Adeang says re-establishing diplomatic relations with China is paying "great dividends" and his people should expect more economic prosperity. Adeang made the remark while in China earlier this month. His government published the comments on its Facebook page on Thursday. Nauru and China re-established diplomatic relations in January 2024. Adeang said the relationship between the two countries is one of mutual co-operation. He expects China to play a big role in developing infrastructure, education, health and renewable energy in Nauru, and said the nation feels "bullish" about its economy as a result of the partnership. Adeang's trip included a stop in China's Guangdong province, where he has ancestral ties. The importance of mining and petroleum to the Papua New Guinea economy has been starkly underlined at a conference this week. The 2025 PNG Resources Week has been told statistics from the Bank of Papua New Guinea show that the mineral sector earned US$10.3 billion (43.9 billion kina) This made up 85 percent of PNG's export revenues. The Bank's deputy governor Jeffrey Yabom also raised concerns about the illegal export of alluvial gold from PNG. He said there has been a sharp decline in receipts from alluvial gold exports over the past three years. A decision by a village in Samoa to ban political rallies by certain parties is illegal, according to the country's electoral chief. Several Falelatai matai (chiefs) recently signed a letter barring parties from entering the village. However, Eelectoral Commissioner Toleafoa Tuiafelolo John Stanley has written to remind them that such bans are improper. Toleafoa said voters have the legal right to hear from, and question, candidates before making a free and informed choice. He said elections are the foundation of democracy and no one should influence a voter's right to choose, and candidates can take the matter to the Election Court if access is denied. Vanuatu Prime Minister Jotham Napat has confirmed a controversial Airbus aircraft deal worth more than US$16 million has been revived through high-level negotiations in France. Napat, who led a government delegation to France last month, described the outcome of the mission as "very successful and very positive". He said deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Johnny Koanapo managed to resolve key issues during a critical meeting with Airbus executives in Toulouse. The Vanuatu Daily Post reported the deal, signed in 2019, involved the purchase of four Airbus A220 aircraft for Air Vanuatu. However, it stalled due to financial constraints, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and subsequent political instability. Travel and holiday website Expedia has put out its list of the world's top ten island destinations - and it features Fiji. The 'Island Hot List' is based on data and traveller insights and said Fiji has come out as being 'best for community'. Others on the list include Caribbean island Aruba for adventure; Jamaica, judged best for culture; Bali, best for relaxation; Koh Samui in Thailand, best for affordable luxury; Oahu in Hawaii for best surfing, and the Maldives for romance.

These assessments are intended to support technology users in selecting the most suitable vendors for their varying business and technical requirements. As a repeat Leader, Infobip has been recognised not only for what Gartner refers to as an Ability to Execute, but also for its Completeness of Vision, a position the company has been awarded for the first time.

We believe that being recognized by Gartner as a Leader is a strong validation of our continuous innovation and strategic foresight."

The firm has also been recognised as a top CPaaS provider in the Metrigy CPaaS MetriRank Report and noted as number one among Established Leaders in RCS Business Messaging in Juniper Research's 2024 leaderboard.
