Synology is bezig met de ontwikkeling van versie 3.2 van Disk Station Manager, 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 de energiegulzige pc 's nachts uit kan, 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 als printserver fungeren.
Versie 3.2 kan alleen worden geïnstalleerd op de nas-modellen die eindigen op 08-of hoger en heeft onder andere een opgefrist uiterlijk dat meer gebruiktmaakt van html 5 en css 3. Verder is er ondersteuning voor ldap, is er een nieuw package center en is Synology gereed voor Google Cloud Print en Mac OS X Lion. De belangrijkste verbeteringen zijn hieronder nog eens uitgebreid op een rijtje gezet.
Beyond NAS server operating system
Business productivity is up through centralization, data management becomes one-stop-for-all, and user experience is enriched with new technologies – we have made these happen in DSM 3.2 Beta. In Synology, we believe this is another new and exciting step for DiskStation Manager. Participate in the Beta program and try out the new features today!
Directory Solution
Management efficiency is closely intertwined with centralization. For example, centralizing user accounts and privileges for multiple devices could lower resource spending. LDAP support makes integrating DiskStation to any LDAP directory server a breeze. Administrators can also build an LDAP-based directory server with Synology’s new package.
Virtual drive
Mount as many as 16 ISO images on a single DiskStation. Virtual drive reduces IT workload and increases efficiency by cutting down hardware restriction. It’s also a great way to store and view your movie collection without leaving a scratch on the disc.
Syslog Server
Centralize log database for long-term archiving and IT management efficiency. Syslog is IT administrator’s handy tool for monitoring all server activities and troubleshooting.
Remote Folder
One portal to many destinations makes data access and management more efficient and less of a mess. Discover new value in existing infrastructure by extending storage space virtually.
Cutting-Edge User Experience
Witness how your user experience goes up another notch with new technologies. HTML5 & CSS3 are the new boost in DSM 3.2! See drag-n-drop extends beyond the browser and onto your PC desktop!

Mac-friendly Solution
Upgrade your Mac to OS X Lion, and see Time Machine and DiskStation work together as a pair. With DSM 3.2, you’ve just acquired the 1st NAS server to support Time Machine in OS X Lion. But this is just sugar on the coating, because what you also have now is a complete solution in-office and a pioneer in web-based surveillance.
On-cloud Data Mobility
Your personal cloud is DiskStation. So your data naturally follow you around for you to have access on smart phones and tablets.
