Synology heeft de ontwikkeling van versie 2.3 van Disk Station Manager, de beheersoftware die op diverse nas-producten van het bedrijf draait, afgerond en deze nu officieel uitgebracht. De Disk-, Cube- en Rackstations bieden meer dan alleen extra opslagruimte. Ze kunnen ook backups maken van alle clients op het netwerk en bestanden via http, ftp, BitTorrent, Usenet en eMule downloaden, zodat bijvoorbeeld de energiegulzige pc 's nachts uit kan terwijl de download wel gewoon binnenkomt. Verder kunnen via de ingebouwde iTunes-server audio- en videobestanden over het netwerk worden gestreamd, kan er met behulp van php en MySQL een dynamische website worden gehost en kan het als printserver fungeren.
Versie 2.3 brengt een groot aantal veranderingen met zich mee. Zo is het eenvoudiger om Raid-volumes aan te maken en worden er ook nieuwe types ondersteund. Ook nieuw is dat folders nu versleuteld kunnen worden en is er een app voor de iPhone die beelden kan laten zien van camera's die aan de Synology hangen. Verder zijn er diverse verbeteringen doorgevoerd aan Backup, File Station, Surveillance Station, Photo Station en Audio Station. Hieronder is het volledige changelog van deze release te vinden:
New Features
New Volume Manager:EZ-Internet:
- The Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) simplifies the RAID setup, allowing the DiskStation to maximize the available storage of varying disk capacities yet with data protection. Experienced administrators may still use a manual option of creating a storage volume.

- The Volume Manager User Interface has been updated with additional graphics and illustrations.
- RAID 5 to RAID 6 migration is supported.
The EZ-Internet Wizard is now available for guiding through the steps to establish access to DiskStation from the Internet, including firewall settings, PPPoE setup, DDNS registration, and router port forwarding configuration*. The "Router Configuration" feature is also available on the management UI under "Internet Connection" category, which accomplishes the port forwarding tasks on the router for you. View the supported router list here.
Backup Enhancements:File Station 3:
- In addition to the existing "shared folder" level backup, "sub folder" level backup is now supported.
