Features including instant snapshots, fast cloning, NFS v 4.1, and thin provisioning deliver more flexibility to accommodate different administration needs.

At no additional licence cost, you can further protect your virtualized workload with a comprehensive suite of data protection applications, including Synology Snapshot Replication, Hyper Backup, Active Backup for Business and Synology High Availability, to handle various protection scenarios.

Running & Protecting Virtual Machines

Synology Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) is an intuitive hypervisor application that lets users easily set up virtual machines and run operating systems including Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM. With VMM, users can build up a cluster environment with multiple Synology systems while keeping the flexibility to scale out online and migrate virtual machines for load balancing and resource allocation. Disaster recovery features including instant snapshot, replication, cloning, restore and failover help you fully protect each virtual machine and safeguard your digital assets at no additional cost.

VMM Pro licences (sold separately, see accessories tab) give access to advanced features including remote replication, remote storage migration, high availability and live migration, helping users further minimize the risk of service downtime and manage IT resources with maximum flexibility.

Service Continuity Safeguards

Service continuity is critical for modern businesses. The FS3600 brings thoughtful software and hardware integration to ensure a high standard of system availability if a disaster or major outage occurs.
