DiskStation Manager 7.3 from Synology for Data Tiering, Security, AI-Powered Collaboration and Expanded Storage Flexibility

From News Desk

Synology has 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, System Group, 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.”

Synology Tiering is said to automatically manage 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 customisable 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-recognised risk indicators, including KEV, EPSS and LEV, for stronger threat prioritisation 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 is said to further strengthen security with email moderation and adds domain sharing to unify identities across distributed infrastructures.

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.
