CMS

Synology CMS (Central Management System) allows you to quickly and conveniently manage multiple Synology NAS servers. Once CMS is installed, you can designate your Synology NAS server as the CMS Host and designate other servers as managed servers. The CMS Host provides a single interface to monitor and maintain the managed servers, allowing you to accomplish the following:

  • Monitor the status of managed servers
  • Create server groups and define policies in order to apply settings to entire server groups
  • Keep each server in your fleet up-to-date and running smoothly by installing packages or performing software updates
  • Delegate administrator permissions to specific users or groups, allowing each administrator to manage pre-defined settings of specific servers or server groups

Before You Start

Please note that Synology CMS is compatible with DSM 5.0 and higher. Servers that shall run or be managed by CMS must be updated to DSM 5.0.
