Notably, this platform supports GPU cards for hardware-accelerated workloads such as video transcoding, AI-based image/video analysis, or Synology's own machine-learning-driven applications - a capability not found on Synology's smaller desktop NAS units. This class of rackmount NAS is aimed at businesses running virtualization hosts, large-scale file services, backup targets, or surveillance storage that needs serious sustained throughput and capacity headroom well beyond what a desktop NAS can provide, run through Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system with its familiar package-based application ecosystem for file sharing, backup, virtualization, and more, deployed in a standard rack alongside other enterprise infrastructure. Being Xeon-powered rather than ARM-based also gives it meaningfully more headroom to run Synology's own virtual machine manager, container platform, and other CPU-intensive add-on packages simultaneously alongside core file-serving duty, without the performance ceiling a smaller desktop-class Synology NAS would hit under the same combined workload.
