Coming with both new functionalities and under-the-hood changes, DSM 5.2 is built to make managing a private cloud even more effective, secure, and intuitive.

Several state-of-the-art technologies have emerged in recent years. With DSM 5.2, we want to extend their benefits to all our users,” said Derren Lu, CEO, Synology Inc. “More than perfecting the OS with better performance and reliability, we also want to bring new ways of thinking to some of its core aspects, such as data management and application serving.

Features in DSM 5.2 include:

  • Streamlined application deployment and higher productivity: The integration of Docker allows developers to ship, and users to run, a vast number of applications on NAS with minimal time and resources needed. SSO Server lets users gain access to all services in the same domain with only one single log-in. File Station can be connected with public clouds so you can browse and manage files in them without taking up bandwidth.

  • Faster, customizable cloud syncing with encryption: The smart polling technology dramatically increases cloud Station’s performance while at the same time reducing network traffic and server overhead. The number of file versions is customizable for each shared folder. When syncing with public clouds, besides compatible with more Amazon S3 and WebDAV storage, you can set up oneway sync – and even encrypt the data before uploading it to public clouds – turning them to offsite backup destinations without sacrificing data privacy.

  • File-based backup restoration and smart version control: The file browsing feature allows you restore a single file, instead of an entire shared folder, from past backups. You can automatically rotate old backup data or iSCSI LUN snapshots when designated quota is reached or even benefit from the Smart Recycle policy. The latter helps you minimize storage consumption while maintaining flexibility for point-in-time recovery.

  • Portable task manager and refined multimedia experience: With the Web Clipper and the to-do-list-turned-task-manager, Note Station and DS note lets you capture the web into your pocket notebook, and then organize action points according to your schedule. Download Station’s ‘preview’ feature gives you a sneak peak of what’s being downloaded, saving you time and bandwidth from misleading torrents. Cue file support in Audio Station means you can switch between high-quality CD tracks at will. Want to display photos on big-screen TV? Now besides Apple TV, the support of Chromecast and DLNA TVs in DS photo makes this possible.

  • AppArmor and SMB 3 encryption to strengthen security further: AppArmor extends its reach to profiles for packages to effectively restrict malicious software from accessing unauthorized system resources. The support of SMB 3 encryption enables NAS to secure file transfers to Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, reducing the possibility of tampering and eavesdropping when data moves across a company’s network.


Synology will hand out a DS214se to each of the three beta testers who provide the most valuable assistance and feedback.
