De begin deze maand op de CES aangekondigde bètarelease van versie 5.0 van Disk Station Manager kan nu eindelijk worden gedownload. Synology DSM is 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 energiegulzige pc's 's nachts uit kunnen, 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 apparaat als printserver fungeren.
Om versie 5.0 te kunnen installeren zal versie 4.3 reeds aanwezig moeten zijn. Verder is het uitsluitend geschikt voor de nas-modellen die eindigen op 10 of hoger. Kijk voor de overige voorwaarden en de verschillende downloads op deze pagina. Een live demo kan op deze pagina worden gevonden. In versie 5.0 treffen we onder meer een vernieuwde interface aan en is ook het Package Center op de schop gegaan. Meer is te lezen op onze voorpagina en natuurlijk bij Synology. Dit zijn in het kort de belangrijkste veranderingen:
Brand New User InterfaceQuickConnect
- Visual design has been totally revamped to provide a cleaner look and touch-friendly user experiences.
- High-resolution images are displayed when launched with Ultra HD or retina-display supported devices.
- Badges-style notification counters appear on application icons.
- When using http to log in DSM, login page displays local weather information.
- Widgets page allows you to monitor the NAS status with all widgets in one page.
- All widgets can be minimized as a tray icon.
Backup and Replication
- QuickConnect now supports DSM, Photo Station, Audio Station, Surveillance Station, Download Station, Video Station, File Station, providing simplified remote access, without the hassle of setting up port-forwarding on your router.
- All mobile apps support QuickConnect.
- Enabling QuickConnect requires registering a MyDS Center account.
- Web Station and Mail Station does not support QuickConnect.
Control Panel
- Multiple versions now support differential blocks between file versions to keep file history with better storage efficiency.
- Overview page displays scheduled and completed backup tasks.
- Credentials for creating backup destinations can be saved as a profile to make backup task creation easier.
- Data and configuration backup created in DSM 5.0 can only be restored in DSM 5.0.
- Data and configurations that were backed up in DSM 5.0 cannot be restored using DSM 4.3 or earlier.
- Multiple version backup includes the below limitations:
- Files over 8GB cannot be backed up.
- This feature is only supported when backing up to the same Synology NAS or another Synology NAS.
Share Folders with Windows ACL Permissions
- Layout has been redesigned for better navigation and organization.
- Service list displays related firewall and port-forwarding settings.
Storage Manager
- The access permissions of shared folders are based on Windows ACL, allowing you to fine-tune permissions beyond just Read Only, Read/Write, No Access. Newly created shared folders implement the permission settings of Windows ACL.
- For shared folders created in DSM 4.3 or earlier, you can either convert the existing permissions to Windows ACL, or leave the permission unchanged.
- The shared folders - photo, surveillance, and shares on external storage or volume with ext3 file system cannot use Windows ACL permissions.
SSD Cache
- New overview displays the overall health of all disks and volumes, as well as hard disk utilization, volume, and iSCSI LUN usage.
- Disk health information includes the current and historical health of hard disks.
Package Center
- SSD read-write cache is supported on XS and XS+ Synology NAS models. Two identical SSDs can be combined to create a RAID 1 cache and enhance the performance of a volume or Block-level iSCSI LUN. To ensure data integrity, you have to remove SSD cache in Storage Manager to flush data into drives, before physically removing the SSDs from Synology NAS.
- It is not supported to create a High Availability Cluster with SSD read-write cache enabled.
Log Center
- Auto updating allows packages to be updated automatically.
Support Center
- Syslog Server and System Logs have been integrated into a single, centralized application.
Sharing Links in File Station
- Support tickets can now be sent directly from DSM.
- Remote access and log generation allow Synology support engineers to remotely diagnose technical issues on your Synology NAS.
Text Editor
- File sharing links can be created for your Google+ and Facebook friends. Those who receive the link will be asked to enter their Google+ or Facebook login credentials before accessing the folder or file.
DSM Help
- Plain text files can be edited directly in DSM.
- Rich features are available, such as the ability to change character encoding, recognize file types, and see variable highlighting.
- Currently not available on Internet Explorer 8.0 and earlier version
Web Station
- Online help files can be viewed in DSM Help, allowing you to read the latest versions of documentation regarding DSM and packages.
- Font size can be changed to larger sizes.
Media Library
- The “http” group (http) is introduced to be the service account of Web Station for better flexibility and security. Web applications will run as the same permission as “http” group. We suggest you to review the permission of the web folder and assign appropriate permissions to http group.
- Updated to PHP 5.5. Please check the compatibility of your PHP-based web apps with php 5.5.
- Leaping performance enhancement by the new Apache MPM worker.
Synology High Availability
- The default indexed folders - photo, video, audio are removable from indexed folders.
- The types of media to be indexed in each default folder can be changed.
iSCSI Performance
- When bounding two or more ethernet connections to create an aggregated heartbeat connection, load balancing and failover are supported.
- For iSCSI LUN with Advanced LUN option enabled, iSCSI random read performance has been enhanced by over 6 times, as illustrated in the below comparison:
