Synology to Showcase DiskStation Manager 5.0 at 2014's International CES

BELLEVUE, Wash., Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Synology America Corp. is excited to preview the next DiskStation Manager operating system, DSM 5.0, at the 2014 International CES. The preview will give users a first-hand look at DSM's streamlined new interface. It will also provide an opportunity to demo several new and enhanced features, in what is sure to be the most significant update to the DiskStation Manager in years.

QuickConnect is now front-and-center to the installation process, and easier than ever to configure. Create – or import – a QuickConnect ID, and password. As soon as a volume is created, it can be accessed remotely via browser or across all iOS, Android, and Windows Phone apps; anywhere a data connection exists. No complicated router configuration is required.

Synology's Cloud Station is real-time, private cloud storage, and cross-device synchronization, without recurring fees. In DSM 4.3 Cloud Station brought the ability to sync specific files, file-types, and folders. DSM 5.0 beta stretches Cloud Station's functionality even further by allowing users to sync between multiple Disk and RackStations. Now it's possible to keep data at work and at home current with one Cloud Station account.

Package Center has always been at the heart of the Synology platform. DSM 5.0 makes package management seamless with optional automated updates. Application icons can also render application badges which augment icons with informative push notifications when activities have been completed, or when apps need special attention.

Additional features include:

• Hybrid Cloud Syncing, with Google Drive and Dropbox
• Facebook & Google+ sharing of files and folders
• YouTube uploading straight from PhotoStation
• Customizable status widgets
• 4K capable interface with touch input, for the next generation in display technology

Notable Business Features:

• Scale out Storage Cluster enabling businesses to expand from TBs to PBs
• Central Management System with unified monitoring, remote administration, and policy based configuration
• Robust data protection including snapshot manager and more
