Synology Announces Next-Generation DSM with Private AI and Enterprise Management Features

Taipei, Taiwan — June 3, 2026 — Synology today announced the roadmap for its next-generation DiskStation Manager (DSM). DSM is evolving from a mere storage operating system into an intelligent data platform for managed, on-premises AI workflows, transforming data and system metrics into actionable insights without the privacy risks or costs associated with cloud providers.

"The challenge of enterprise AI is no longer deployment, but data control," said Philip Wong, Chairman and CEO of Synology. "The next-generation DSM leverages over 20 years of expertise to deliver an AI-ready platform where organizations can reliably maintain control over their data."

Bie-i Chu, Executive Vice President of the Synology NAS Group, added regarding the updated system, "It addresses both AI and enterprise needs, enabling private AI workflows with complete governance, fleet-scale management, and the security controls IT teams require for regulatory and compliance requirements."

### Streamlining AI Adoption, Fully On-Premises

The new DSM transforms existing business data, system logs, and metrics into a private knowledge base that can be utilized by AI agents. The AI assistant in Synology Office Suite provides immediately deployable productivity enhancements, while Synology's GPU rack servers and dedicated AI appliances execute local inference without data leaving the premises.

DSM Agent offers a guided experience for system-wide management tasks, further advancing automation by integrating tools and skills into complete agent-based workflows. With built-in guardrails and governance controls, IT teams gain full visibility into how AI workflows access and utilize organizational data.

### Fleet-Scale Deployment and Management

For organizations managing Synology systems at scale, Cluster Manager unifies everything into a single management interface. Because storage services and applications are containerized as mutually isolated workloads, flexible workload migration, Quality of Service (QoS), and retention policies across the entire system become executable, significantly reducing administrative burden.

Furthermore, the new Mass Deployment feature in Active Insight accelerates provisioning and configuration in distributed environments, reducing the time required to launch new systems.

### Security and Compliance Controls

DSM introduces more granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and expands identity and access management features. The revamped Log Center aggregates operational and application logs into a single view for monitoring and management, and includes native export functionality to industry-standard observability platforms. With built-in secure elements and ongoing FIPS 140-3 certification, it provides validated security guarantees for regulated environments.

The features outlined in this roadmap will be introduced in subsequent DSM releases. For the latest information, visit www.synology.com.
