Download Firmware Synology Disk Station Manager 3.2 build 1955

Synology has released a new version of Disk Station Manager, the management software that runs on several of the company’s NAS products. The Disk, Cube and Rack Stations offer more than just extra storage space. In this way, backups of all clients on the network can also be made and files can be downloaded via http, ftp, bittorrent, usenet and emule, so that, for example, energy-hungry PCs can switch off at night, while the download just comes in. Furthermore, audio and video files can be streamed over the network via the built-in iTunes server, a dynamic website can be hosted using PHP and MySQL and it can act as a print server.

Version 3.2 can only be installed on the nas models ending in 08- or higher and has, among other things, a refreshed look that makes more use of html 5 and css 3. Furthermore, there is support for ldap, there is a new package center and Synology ready for Google Cloud Print and Mac OS X Lion. This update includes ARM Performance Acceleration Technology, which improves file transfer performance.
