Synology DSM 6.0 : la beta est dispo !

Synology DSM 6.0

Synology vient d’annoncer la disponibilité de la beta de DSM 6.0 son système d’exploitation pour les NAS que la société vend. Petit tour d’horizon de ce qui – pour moi – est ce qui se fait de plus simple mais aussi de plus complet dans le domaine. 

Les NAS c’est quoi? Si vous êtes là depuis longtemps on en parlait déjà en 2008 avec le ReadyNAS de Netgear. Ce sont des disques durs accessibles en réseau. En gros. Enfin le nom veut dire Network Attached Storage mais avec le temps ça n’est plus la seule définition.

Au tout début de ces produits, ils avaient vraiment peu de fonctionnalités (à part justement.. le stockage.. rendu accessible via les protocoles comme SMB et AFP) mais au fil des années les NAS ont évolué et deviennent de plus en plus complets et puissants.

Ce qui est intéressant d’ailleurs c’est que les sociétés comme Synology, QNAP, Western Digital etc ont bien vu l’intérêt à la fois pour le “public” et pour les entreprises.

Aujourd’hui un NAS comme le DS214Play peut servir à la maison comme système de stockage des contenus numériques (films/séries/photos/musique) avec les applications DS Video / DS Photo / DS Audio), avec sa puce dédiée au transcoding vidéo qui permet d’envoyer à peu près n’importe quelle vidéo vers une TV, Apple TV, Chromecast sans charger le processeur… et des modèles plus évolués comme le DS2015XS pourront eux servir aux entreprises comme stockage partagé, serveur de vidéosurveillance etc.

Bref, les NAS sont devenus des couteaux suisses sur lesquels il est presque possible de faire ce que l’on veut. Les applications sont multiples entre serveur email, serveur DHCP, routeur, serveur DNS, annuaire d’entreprise, serveur de stockage de fichier, vidéosurveillance serveur multimédia, serveur email.. etc etc .. et d’ailleurs les usages sont ouverts puisque n’importe quel tiers peut développer des modules avec leur propre programme.

Alors qu’apporte DSM 6.0 au “game” ?

Pas mal de choses et pour les résumer rapidement :

  • Un serveur de mail amélioré nommé MailPlus pour les entreprises qui souhaitent héberger elles-même leurs emails (même si je recommande Google Apps)

Regardez on dirait Gmail :

MailPlus

  • De nouvelles options de sauvegarde notamment basées sur les snapshots DSM Backup
  • Un tableur dans le navigateur permettant de travailler à plusieurs en simultané sur un document, comme Google Sheets
  • Un système de notes “Note Station” comme Evernote, Apple Notes etc
  • Des améliorations à Cloud Station, le “Dropbox-like” de Synology
  • Meilleur moteur de recherche des fichiers avec notamment une intégration à Spotlight de Mac OS
  • La gestion de la virtualisation de DSM permettant sur une plateforme physique de gérer plusieurs NAS virtuels totalement indépendants ainsi que le fonctionnement avec Docker
  • Des améliorations aussi sur DS Video pour le transcoding “offline” de vidéos

Bref.. pas mal d’améliorations que je suis très pressé d’essayer ^_^

Si vous avez un NAS Synology et que vous voulez essayer DSM 6.0 , c’est par là. Dans tous les cas assurez vous d’avoir une sauvegarde de vos données, ça reste une beta !

La très longue liste des nouveautés et changements en anglais :
