Synology Announces the Official Release of Disk Station Manager 2.2
Introducing Surveillance Station 3, DLNA, Time Machine and iPhone Support, New Reliability and More

Taipei, Taiwan—September 7, 2009—Synology Inc. today announced the official release of Disk Station Manager 2.2, ending its successful beta program started in July 2009 that attracted over 10,000 enthusiastic users to participate. The Disk Station Manager 2.2 introduces new Surveillance Station 3, DLNA compliant media server, Apple Time Machine and iPhoneTM support, improved system reliability and many more new features.

Surveillance Station 3 includes the brand new features Synchronized Multi-Event Player (SMEP) and Centralized Management. SMEP allows users to simultaneously watch events recorded at the same time from up to four different cameras. Centralized Management allows users to simultaneously watch the camera live-views installed on multiple Disk Stations, or watch the event timeline of a single camera installed on another Disk Station.

DLNA compliant media sever ensures interoperability between a Disk Station and a wide range of DLNA-compliant home devices, providing hassle-free digital content sharing.

"Apple Time Machine and iPhone support extend the capabilities of Disk Station to Apple users," said Edward Lin, marketing director of Synology. "Time Machine support allows Mac OS X users to back up desktop data to their Disk Stations without complicated setup. Two new iPhone applications, DS photo and DS audio, allow users to use an iPhone or iPod touch to upload photos to and stream music from a Disk Station respectively."

System reliability is also improved by providing transparent bad sector remapping, dynamic bad sector remapping and recovery, and improved HDD driver quality and compatibility.

Highlights of the enhancements include: iSCSI support allows for the creation up to 10 iSCSI targets on a single Disk Station; auto-block support extends its original FTP coverage to the management UI, File Station, SSH/Telnet, rsync and mobile devices; built-in firewall allows users to decide which services or IP addresses are allowed to access the Disk Stations; and iTunes Server now supports video playback.
