Synology has a wide range of capabilities but sometimes it still falls short.
In a previous post, I mentioned moving existing virtual machines to my Synology DS920+. The movement of the virtual machines required configuring the virtual machine locally on my laptop and then subsequently moving the “bundle” to the Synology. This effectively meant that I was running the virtual machine across the local area network (LAN). As you might imagine, overall performance tanked. Any CPU related workloads would happen locally on my laptop however any disk I/O requests would traverse the network, and well, sucked.
