Tajpej, Tajwan – 10 lipca 2012 r. − Synology® przedstawiło wersję beta systemu operacyjnego DiskStation Manager (DSM) 4.1. Odpowiedzialne za sterowanie pracą serwerów DiskStation oraz RackStation oprogramowanie:

 

  • oferuje wiodące i niezawodne rozwiązania pamięci masowej dla systemów wirtualnych
  • dzięki stale rozwijanym funkcjom, jak Cloud Station, Syslog Server and Mail Server, zwiększa wydajność procesów biznesowych oraz efektywność zarządzania
  • udostępnia wydajną alokację zasobów oraz efektywne rozwiązania do współdzielenia danych, odpowiadające wymaganiom dużych przedsiębiorstw
  • gwarantuje doskonałe możliwości multimedialne, realizowane przez nową aplikację Video Station, rozbudowaną Photo Station, Audio Station oraz zestawem programów na urządzenia mobilne
  • zwiększa – za pośrednictwem aplikacji Surveillance Station 6 − inteligencję działania systemu do nadzoru wideo

− DSM 4.1 sprawia, że możliwości DiskStation oraz RackStation przekraczają powszechnie przyjęte wyobrażenia. Nowy system to dowód, że Synology nieustannie dąży do podwyższania standardów w zakresie najlepszych, biznesowych rozwiązań i możliwości multimedialnych – powiedział Vic Hsu, Prezes Synology Inc.

Obok wprowadzonego po raz pierwszy wsparcia dla technologii VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI), DSM 4.1 odciąża pracę hypervisora, realizując na DiskStation lub RackStation szereg operacji na plikach, w tym takie działania, jak Full Copy, Zero Block, Atomic Test & Set (ATS) oraz Storage Reclamation. W efekcie rośnie wydajność i optymalizuje się wykorzystanie przestrzeni dyskowej w środowisku vSphere 5.0.

DSM 4.1 wprowadza inteligentne rozwiązania, które w przypadku firm i użytkowników biznesowych pozwalają uzyskiwać większą produktywność. Cloud Station wspiera teraz dwa współdzielone foldery, z których można pobierać zsynchronizowane pliki za pośrednictwem urządzeń mobilnych. Udostępnia także kodowaną transmisję, protokół HTTPS oraz ustawienia serwera proxy. Większą funkcjonalność oferuje także aplikacja Syslog Serwer, która daje natychmiastowy wgląd w zdarzenia systemowe, umożliwia definiowanie zasad powiadamiania na podstawie słów kluczowych oraz pozwala konfigurować zasady archiwizacji wpisów. W nowej wersji, Mail Server staje się kompletnym narzędziem wspierającym protokół SMTP i aliasy pocztowe, obsługującym wiele domen, posiadającym filtr spamu, funkcję automatycznej odpowiedzi oraz prowadzonego w czasie rzeczywistym monitoringu objętości poczty i dostępnej przepustowości łącza.

DSM 4.1 oddaje także do dyspozycji rozbudowane rozwiązania do współdzielenia zasobów. Traffic Control oraz Speed Limit to narzędzia umożliwiające nadawanie priorytetów, rezerwowanie lub ograniczanie przepustowości łącza, definiowanej niezależnie dla różnych aplikacji, użytkowników lub grup. Resources Monitor oferuje bieżący oraz archiwalny raport na temat wykonywanych przez dysk operacji (IOPS) oraz prędkości transferu. Poprzez obsługę SFTP, FXP oraz ustawień dostępu do Internetu poprzez serwer proxy, współdzielenie plików staje się bardziej efektywne, a zarazem bezpieczne, spełniając tym samym wymagające standardy obowiązujące w przedsiębiorstwach. Co więcej, współdzielone foldery z wielu serwerów DiskStation i RackStation mogą być synchronizowane w jednym, wspólnym miejscu.

DSM 4.1 to także wspaniałe możliwości multimedialne. Zupełnie nowa aplikacja Video Station wita użytkowników plakatami filmowymi oraz szczegółowymi informacjami pobranymi automatycznie z Internetu. Za pośrednictwem modułu TV Recorder można oglądać programy telewizyjne oraz programować ich nagrywanie. Mobilna aplikacja DS video pozwala zarządzań zaprogramowanymi audycjami i oglądać wideo na urządzeniach z systemem iOS. Co więcej, Photo Station wprowadza oś timeline, na którym chronologicznie prezentuje albumy użytkownika, „przypięte” dodatkowo do map Google. Dane o lokalizacji, znaczniki (tagi) oraz automatyczne rozpoznawanie twarzy pomagają zarządzać posiadanymi zbiorami fotografii. Aplikacja Audio Station udostępnia teksty piosenek i pozwala użytkownikom na przechowywanie własnych zbiorów na indywidualnych kontach. Za pośrednictwem urządzeń z systemem iOS − w przypadku braku dostępu do Internetu – można korzystać z plików muzycznych przechowywanych w pamięci podręcznej. Aplikacje DS audio oraz DS photo+ dostępne są także na telefony z systemem Windows Phone. Nowa DS download sprawdzi się natomiast podczas zarządzania pobieranymi plikami.

Surveillance Station 6 posiada odświeżony interfejs zwiększający komfort nawigacji. Cztery suwaki odpowiadają za łatwe odtwarzanie zarejestrowanych nagrań z różnych kanałów i odnajdywanie zdarzeń alarmowych. Różne funkcje śledzenia obiektu, w tym narzędzia Tally Counter, Virtual Fence oraz No-idle Zone, pomagają w uzyskiwaniu informacji o obecności intruza. Interfejs Web API ułatwia deweloperom integrację Surveillance Station z własnymi aplikacjami.
