This upgrade enhances and adds features to meet users need from previous feedback. These include SSD caching for accelerated HDD performance, RAID scrubbing to keep HDDs healthy, automatic RAID repair, management of enterprise accounts and a LDAP Client.

ADM 3.1 Beta features:

  • SSD caching – SSD-like performance with traditional HDDs.
    Traditional HDDs are not as fast as SSDs, but their capacity and durability are not as good as traditional HDDs. The way to combine the best of both worlds is with SSD caching. The SSD cache feature saves frequently accessed file data on a HDD and stores it on an SSD, thereby optimizing the response time and transfer rates of users when accessing data. The company’s NAS (*) supports read-only access and read-write cache mode. After following the installation wizard, you will be able to access your storage spaces and achieve the best balance of capacity and performance.

  • Supporting LDAP clients – Centralized control now more convenient 
    LDAP, also known as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is mainly used for unified management of accounts and passwords. Using this technology can more efficiently manage user authentications or computer resource permissions across the enterprise. The firm’s NAS originally only supported Microsoft’s Windows Active Directory service. ADM 3.1 adds an LDAP client. Users can add a NAS to their existing LDAP server providing ways to manage helps improve productivity.

  • RAID Scrubbing – Keeping HDDs healthy
    RAID Scrubbing detects the integrity and consistency of RAID-5 and RAID-6 drive data. Regular use of this feature can help to confirm the integrity of data and fix inconsistencies. If a problem that cannot be repaired is found, the NAS will warn so that you can respond to unexpected issues early.

(*) Supported Models: AS31/32/50/51/61/62/63/64/70 series
