A complete virtualization platform
Synology VMM lets you build a cost-effective and easily managed virtualization environment by combining computing, storage, and networking resources on a single hardware platform.

Various operating systems supported
You can run multiple virtual machines on your Synology NAS with operating systems including Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM. Learn more about supported operating systems
Virtual DSM
Provides an equally intuitive experience as DiskStation Manager, offering a reliable storage solution with robust features.
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.

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.

Create multiple isolated virtual machines for subsidiary business units or departments. Deploy applications for short-term usage with minimal hardware upgrades or maintenance required.

Secure your digital assets
Minimize service downtime with instant snapshots, remote replication, and Synology VMM High Availability.*

Virtual machine protection plans
Restore virtual machine snapshots or run them directly on Synology VMM to roll back human errors or recover from hardware failures.

Integration with Active Backup for Business (ABB)
Run failover copies of virtual machines, PCs, and servers created with Active Backup for Business. Learn more
Flexible IT resource management
You can allocate hardware resources such as computing power, storage space, or network interfaces among several virtual machines.
Cluster up to seven Synology servers and flexibly allocate resources among virtual machines to balance loads or respond to changing requirements.

No time delay should be tolerated, especially when it comes to business. Virtual Machine Manager makes it possible to seamlessly migrate Virtual DSM instances from a Synology NAS to another. If that is not reassuring enough, you can also store your data on a third machine. Farewell to downtime that breaks your deals or interrupts your production procedure from now on.

Share graphic access to virtual machines with password-protected, limited-validity links that can easily be shared through email or chat.
