Synology Releases DiskStation Manager 7.3
Synology announced the release of DiskStation Manager (DSM) 7.3,
delivering enhanced storage efficiency, strengthened security and reliability,
and new productivity features.
"As data grows rapidly, advanced
solutions are needed to manage, process, and unlock its full value," said
Kenneth Hsu, Director of the System Group at Synology. "DSM 7.3 helps
customers confidently address evolving data management challenges on a platform
that is secure, reliable, and ready to support AI transformation."
Enhanced storage efficiency, system security, and collaboration
capabilities
Synology Tiering automatically manages files
between storage tiers based on access patterns, keeping frequently used
"hot" data on high-performance storage while shifting rarely accessed
"cold" data to cost-effective tiers. With customizable policies based
on modification time or access frequency, users can precisely schedule when and
how data movement takes place.
Security has always been the top priority in
DSM development. Over the past 12 months, DSM has received more than 50
proactive security updates. In DSM 7.3, security is further reinforced with the
adoption of industry-recognized risk indicators, including KEV, EPSS, and LEV,
for stronger threat prioritization and protection.
Office Suite has also undergone significant
upgrades to meet the community's growing needs. Synology Drive introduces
shared labels, streamlined file requests, and enhanced file locking to
facilitate team collaboration. Meanwhile, MailPlus further strengthens security
with email moderation and adds domain sharing to unify identities across
distributed infrastructures.
Empowering AI adoption with data privacy
Synology AI Console has been deployed on more
than 430,000 Synology systems since its launch in August, 2025, enabling
seamless AI-powered team collaboration and management in on-premises
environments. In DSM 7.3, Synology AI Console further introduces custom data
masking and filtering, allowing users to safeguard sensitive information locally
before transmitting data to third-party AI providers, enhancing both security
and workflow reliability.
In addition, Synology AI Console will soon add
support for all OpenAI-compatible APIs in future releases, enabling seamless
integration with private AI infrastructure and giving organizations the
flexibility to deploy AI services with full data privacy and security.
Expanded storage flexibility
Synology is committed to delivering reliable,
high-performance storage systems. Rigorous validation of both hardware and
software components has long been a core development priority. Synology storage
drives, together with the third-party validation program, are engineered to
provide the highest levels of reliability with DSM.
Synology is collaborating with drive
manufacturers to expand the range of certified storage media, delivering more
reliable options. In the meantime, 2025 model-year DiskStation Plus, Value, and
J Series running DSM 7.3 will support installation and storage pool creation
with third-party drives¹. Together with the existing support for third-party
drive migration, DSM will provide users with greater flexibility in managing
their storage deployments.
