With Virtual Machine Manager, hardware resources can be allocated more flexibly, and virtual machines can even be moved without interrupting running hosts. Server virtualization is undoubtedly the trend in the IT industry. To give some examples, according to a 2016 study by Gartner, up to 80% of x86 server workloads have been virtualized, and during the first six months of its beta program, Virtual Machine Manager was used by more than 60,000 users.
Virtual Machine Manager not only provides virtualized system resources but also combines the powerful advantages of the next-generation Btrfs file system. This system allows users to take snapshots and replicate virtual machines in seconds. The meticulously designed cluster architecture empowers businesses to manage multiple NAS servers. Furthermore, operations run on virtual machines distributed across NAS devices, all of which can be managed from a single portal. Virtual Machine Manager provides powerful management features to help IT staff achieve high availability across a cluster. Users can configure scheduled snapshot and replication plans to protect virtual machine data and take advantage of a wide range of advanced features specifically designed for businesses.
Chen Feng Wang, Product Manager for Virtualization at Synology, explained, “In the past, our company primarily provided storage services within virtualization infrastructure. However, in recent years, we have witnessed a surge in demand for virtualization solutions from small and medium-sized businesses and professional users. In 2015, we first introduced Virtual DSM Manager Beta to create NAS virtualization capabilities. Now, Synology NAS supports more operating systems thanks to a fully evolved Virtual Machine Manager and its powerful, flexible cluster architecture. IT staff can easily create an efficient and professional server virtualization environment.”
Synology DiskStation Manager’s operating system has gained widespread recognition and can now run as a virtual machine within Virtual Machine Manager via Virtual DSM. By separating multiple Virtual DSM virtual machines on a single Synology NAS, users can achieve NAS server virtualization while creating a highly resilient and easy-to-manage multi-tenant environment.
