Le firmware Synology DiskStation Manager 4.0 est sorti en version beta. Il s’agit d’une version majeure.
Les principales nouveautés sont :
– Client VPN proposé – en ces temps difficiles, avec l’effacement de MegaUpload et des ses clones, voila une fonctionnalité qui tombe à pic.
– Services Cloud du style Dropbox
– Un anti-virus non pour le nas mais pour les fichiers qu’il contient
– Modularisation d’applications existantes (ou pas) en package à installer
– Nouvelle interface du bureau avec l’intégration d’un moniteur de ressources. Ça commence à faire cokpit, façon Airbus. Voyez :
– Syslog, après le serveur, le NAS intègre désormais un client Syslog
– Convertir en MPEG4 des vidéos pour une meilleur qualité dans photostation
– etc …
