Next-Generation File System
A modern le system designed to address obstacles
often encountered in enterprise storage systems,
and safeguard data integrity through metadata
mirroring, self-healing, and snapshot replication.
Expandable Storage with Outstanding
Performance
SA3600 is equipped with an Intel® Xeon® D-1567 12-core CPU and 16 GB
ECC RDIMM (upgradable to 128 GB) to ensure system performance and
data integrity. Offering dual built-in 10GBASE-T Ethernet and dual PCIe
3.0 slots for expansion of 10/25/40GbE network interface cards, SA3600
delivers over 5,561 MB/s sequential throughput via aggregated 10Gb
Ethernet3.
With the ability to scale up its storage to 180 drives2 and deliver raw
capacity at petabyte scale, SA3600 can easily fulfill the need for video
post-production and massive surveillance deployment. Supporting SAS
and SATA drives without vendor lock-in, SA3600 provides an elastic
and expandable storage solution with optimized total cost of ownership
(TCO).
Btrfs: Next Generation Storage Efficiency
SA3600 introduces the Btrfs file system, bringing the most advanced
storage technologies to meet the management needs of modern
businesses:
• Advanced snapshot technology provides schedulable,
near-instantaneous data protection of shared folders and iSCSI LUNs.
• File and folder level data restoration brings huge convenience and
saves time for users who wish to restore only a specific file or folder.
• Flexible Shared Folder and User Quota System provide
comprehensive quota control on all user accounts and shared
folders.
• File self-healing allows Btrfs file system to auto-detect corrupted
files with mirrored metadata, and to recover broken data using the
supported RAID volumes including RAID1, 5, 6, 10, and RAID F1.

Synology Active Backup Suite
Integrated, modern, and license-free backup &
instant recovery solution for business workloads in
physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
Ultimate Backup Solution
SA3600 integrates various backup applications to safeguard your
important data on any device with an intuitive user interface and durable
storage technologies.
• Workstation/Server/Virtual Machine/SaaS backup: Active Backup
for Business centralizes backup tasks for virtual machines, Windows
PC, servers, and rsync/SMB file servers and offers various recovery
options to ensure lowest RTO. Active Backup for Office 365/G
Suite is an on-premises backup solution for public clouds with a
centralized dashboard, optimizing storage efficiency through the
single instancing and block-level deduplication technology.
• NAS backup: Hyper Backup comprehensively backs up your data
to a local shared folder, an external device, another Synology NAS,
an rsync server, or Synology public cloud service, Synology C2
Backup, to ensure data safety and availability can be achieved when
a disaster happens
• Computer backup: Synology Drive Client backs up your Windows,
Mac, and Linux desktop devices to safeguard important computer
files. SA3600 is also compatible with Time Machine, allowing you to
effortlessly back up your Mac to Synology NAS.
Virtual Machine Manager
Virtual Machine Manager implements various
virtualization solutions, allowing you to manage
multiple virtual machines on your SA3600, including
Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM.
Effortless Virtualization Deployment
Synology’s Virtual Machine Manager adds boundless capabilities to
your NAS. You can set up and run various virtual machines including
Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM on your NAS to test new software
versions in a sandbox environment, isolate your customers' machines,
and increase the flexibility of your SA3600 with reduced hardware
deployment and maintenance costs. Synology iSCSI storage fully
supports most virtualization solutions to enhance work efficiency
with a simple management interface. VMware vSphere™ 6.5 and
VAAI integration helps offload storage operations and optimizes
computational efficiency. While Windows Offloaded Data Transfer
(ODX) speeds up data transfer and migration rates, the support for
OpenStack Cinder transforms your SA3600 into a block-based storage
component.
