After some further digging it looks like Synology used to support GlusterFS in some of their software but support was removed in early 2016: https://www.synology.com/en-us/releaseNote/CMS <https://www.synology.com/en-us/releaseNote/CMS>

The ops team at my work prefers Synology since that is what they are already using and some of the nice out-of-the-box admin features. From what I can tell Synology runs a custom linux flavor so it should be possible to compile gluster on it. Any first hand experience with it?
