Synology Unveils the Revolutionary RS11626xs+

In a significant advancement, Synology has launched its latest storage system, the RS11626xs+, tailored explicitly for organizations managing petabyte-scale data in mission-critical environments. This innovative product was officially announced on August 28, 2026, in Tokyo, Japan. With the expected data growth in enterprises, the RS11626xs+ promises not only to handle current heavy workloads but also ensures seamless scalability for future needs.

Advanced Hardware Architecture to Accelerate Data Growth

The RS11626xs+ features a robust 3U chassis incorporating 20 bays—16 for 3.5-inch/2.5-inch drives and 4 dedicated for 2.5-inch SSDs. Utilizing up to eight RX1222sas expansion units, the system can scale without service interruption, achieving a maximum of 116 bays and over 2.6 petabytes of usable capacity. With two built-in M.2 NVMe slots running DiskStation Manager in RAID 1 configuration, the RS11626xs+ effectively separates OS processing from data paths, delivering impressive performance under the most demanding enterprise workloads, reaching up to 895,000 IOPS for 4K random read operations and 234,000 IOPS for writes, alongside a sequential throughput of 10,500 MB/s for reading and 8,200 MB/s for writing.

For networking needs, the system includes dual 10GbE ports with support for link aggregation and automatic failover. As workloads expand, optional upgrades to 10GbE or 25GbE SFP+/SFP28 and Fiber Channel adapters are available. With redundant power supply and SAS multipath expansion connections, operational continuity is ensured even during component failures. Units configured in pairs can run Synology High Availability, enabling cluster recovery within minutes.

Diverse Use Cases for Enterprise Environments

The RS11626xs+ is fortified with Synology's DiskStation Manager, delivering a plethora of functions to meet diverse business data management needs:

• - Comprehensive Backup for IT Infrastructures: The Active Backup Suite robustly safeguards Windows, Linux, and macOS devices, as well as virtual machines and cloud accounts, presenting flexible off-site backup options.

• - Virtual Machine and Container Management: Synology's Virtual Machine Manager and Container Manager are certified for VMware®, Hyper-V®, Citrix®, and OpenStack, enabling storage, backup, and hosting capabilities for virtual machines, which can be utilized in test, sandbox, and disaster recovery environments.

• - Intelligent Tiering for Optimal Storage Use: Synology Tiering automatically moves infrequently accessed data between performance and capacity tiers, optimizing storage efficiency. With storage efficiency enhancements in DSM 7.4, Synology's HDD and SSD solutions can store up to 3.5 times more data in the same footprint while maintaining reliable performance and simplified management.
