Virtual Machine Manager opens up abundant possibilities. You can set up and run various virtual machines, including Windows, Linux, or Virtual DSM, on one Synology NAS. What's more, you can also test a new software version in a sandbox environment, isolate your customers' machines, or increase the flexibility of your server.
Rock-solid security
Virtual DSM serves as a substitute for DSM, consolidating your Synology NAS with virtualization technology. There is no need to worry about being attacked since the physical host will always be intact.
Robust DSM features
Setting up a virtual environment does not mean you have to compromise. Almost all DSM features and management tools on your Synology NAS, such as Cloud Station, Mail Server, and other advanced storage features (storage quota, NFS, and iSCSI), are also available on Virtual DSM.
Various operating systems supported
You can run Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM on your Synology NAS by just a few steps.
Upgrade Period
Each Virtual DSM license comes with a 3-year software upgrade period for the Virtual DSM package. You can extend the upgrade period by activating a new license key for Virtual DSM.
