Why Use Synology for Virtualization? Why Use Synology for Virtualization? + Extremely easy integration of virtual resources on one or more devices • Computing, storage, and network resources are integrated on Synology NAS, making professional virtualization setups easy and incredibly fast. • Avoid setting up complex Storage Area Networks with an automatic management network that needs no configuration. • Contact a single vendor for all technical software and hardware support, and enjoy Synology's five-year warranty. + Smooth browser-based management and exceptionally easy sharing • Manage your complete virtualization setup from an intuitive management console in DiskStation Manager. Add or remove hosts and resources with a few clicks. • Directly access VM graphical user interfaces or command lines from any PC or operating system using an IP address or Virtual Machine Manager in DSM. • Provide access to VMs using share links, with password protection and all the benefits of Synology's QuickConnect referral service. + Fast and secure virtual storage on a highly stable hardware platform • Eliminate network speed as an obstacle between VMs and their virtual disks by hosting both nodes on one Synology NAS. • VMs, files, and snapshots are kept on storage-optimized systems with advanced RAID or Synology Hybrid RAID configurations and many data recovery options. • Synology NAS and the DSM operating system are designed for long-term uninterrupted operation and come with long-term support. + Highly efficient method to combine Synology and third-party solutions • Virtualized services can run alongside regular Synology NAS applications and storage processes, as well as on Synology High Availability clusters. • Virtual DSM allows the creation of many virtual Synology NAS on one machine, alone or alongside virtual Linux and Windows servers. • VMM High Availability clusters offer hardware and network redundancy without requiring an identical Synology NAS to act as passive server. 03

Why Use Synology for Virtualization?
+ Extremely easy integration of virtual resources on one or more devices
• Computing, storage, and network resources are integrated on Synology NAS, making
professional virtualization setups easy and incredibly fast.
Avoid setting up complex Storage Area Networks with an automatic management network
that needs no configuration.
Contact a single vendor for all technical software and hardware support, and enjoy
Synology’s five-year warranty.
+ Smooth browser-based management and exceptionally easy sharing
• Manage your complete virtualization setup from an intuitive management console in
DiskStation Manager. Add or remove hosts and resources with a few clicks.
Directly access VM graphical user interfaces or command lines from any PC or operating
system using an IP address or Virtual Machine Manager in DSM.
Provide access to VMs using share links, with password protection and all the benefits of
Synology’s QuickConnect referral service.
+ Fast and secure virtual storage on a highly stable hardware platform
Eliminate network speed as an obstacle between VMs and their virtual disks by hosting both
nodes on one Synology NAS.
VMs, files, and snapshots are kept on storage-optimized systems with advanced RAID or
Synology Hybrid RAID configurations and many data recovery options.
Synology NAS and the DSM operating system are designed for long-term uninterrupted
operation and come with long-term support.
+ Highly efficient method to combine Synology and third-party solutions
• Virtualized services can run alongside regular Synology NAS applications and storage
processes, as well as on Synology High Availability clusters.
Virtual DSM allows the creation of many virtual Synology NAS on one machine, alone or
alongside virtual Linux and Windows servers.
VMM High Availability clusters offer hardware and network redundancy without requiring an
identical Synology NAS to act as passive server.
