Synology releases DiskStation Manager 7.4 With AI-Guided Management
Synology today announced the release of DiskStation Manager (DSM) 7.4, delivering DSM Agent, Synology ChatPlus and Meet, and Synology HDD-based post-processing deduplication and compression.

"As AI becomes more capable, the real challenge is no longer building intelligence itself, but putting it to work where data lives," said Bie-i Chu, Executive Vice President of the Synology NAS Group. "With DSM 7.4, we're providing users with a platform where AI drives greater productivity and smarter management, while keeping them in full control of their data and infrastructure."
AI-guided system management, simplified
DSM 7.4 introduces DSM Agent, a built-in AI advisor that provides contextual recommendations and guidance directly within the operating system interface, lowering the barrier to advanced configuration and proactive system management.

Swissbit introduces the N7000, a highly versatile PCIe Gen4 SSD platform designed to balance performance, power efficiency, and cost across a wide spectrum of embedded applications. Offering more than 30 variants across a broad range of capacities, features, and temperature grades, the platform enables precise configuration for system‑level power and performance requirements. Powered by 3D TLC BiCS8 NAND and a power‑optimized industrial architecture, the series targets fanless, thermally constrained, and enclosed systems, while providing comprehensive data‑security capabilities for mission-critical applications. The platform is further expanded by high‑endurance pSLC variants and mission‑critical models with enhanced protection features. As Swissbit’s first PCIe solution built entirely on in‑house NAND packaging combined with Swissbit‑developed controller and firmware, the N7000 strengthens supply‑chain independence while delivering a reliable, energy‑efficient foundation for next‑generation boot and data storage drives with mixed workloads.
