Synology heeft de final release van versie 4.2 van Disk Station Manager uitgebracht. Synology DSM is de beheersoftware die op diverse nas-producten van het bedrijf draait. De Disk, Cube en Rack Stations bieden meer dan alleen extra opslagruimte. Zo kunnen ook backups van alle clients op het netwerk worden gemaakt en kunnen bestanden via http, ftp, bittorrent, usenet en emule worden gedownload, zodat bijvoorbeeld energiegulzige pc's 's nachts uit kunnen, terwijl de download gewoon binnenkomt. Verder kunnen via de ingebouwde iTunes-server audio- en videobestanden over het netwerk worden gestreamd, kan met behulp van php en MySQL een dynamische website worden gehost en kan het apparaat als printserver fungeren.
Versie 4.2 kan alleen over versie 4.0 of hoger worden geïnstalleerd en is uitsluitend geschikt voor de nas-modellen die eindigen op 09- of hoger. Daarnaast heeft Synology laten weten dat versie 4.2 de laatste versie is die gaat werken op modellen die eindigen op 09. Versie 4.2 bevat een enorme lijst veranderingen, te veel om hier op te noemen. Uitgebreide informatie en afbeeldingen kunnen hier worden gevonden. Dit is het changelog:
