Synology SSH & Rsync Software Update Offers Economical Backup Alternatives for IT Professionals
Share:
REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 20, 2007 -- Last week, Synology
released a free software update for all x07, and x06 series
storage systems; users can enable SSH service on their
products by applying SSH update to the system software.
The SSH function unleashes the raw power of Linux while the
customers can still enjoy the rich, matured, and
user-friendly functions built into Synology Products.
"Accompanying with rsync functions, IT Professionals now can
integrate Synology products into their backup plan," said
Edward Lin, Synology's Marketing Director. "We have added to
the SynologyWiki several detailed rsync backup How-To
Guides. Users can follow the instructions to backup Synology
Servers to another rsync server and vice-versa. The rsync
server can be either a Linux or Windows platform, running
the rsync service, such as DeltaCopy for Windows.
Furthermore, IT professionals can now develop their own
scripts files to run their own batched backup jobs with full
flexibility and security."
"Instead of spending thousands of dollars on an expensive PC
server and backup software to backup their servers locally
or remotely, IT professionals can now achieve the same goal
using inexpensive Synology products with only a fraction of
the cost," said Lin.
To make backup tasks easy for SOHO or small business owners,
Synology has already provided an easy-to-use remote backup
for users who wish to use the Web Management Application to
backup their Synology servers to another Synology server or
another rsync server. With this, smaller organizations can
also enjoy enterprise-class remote backup.
Synology offers a wide range of products, ranging from the
single-bay model (DiskStation DS107 Series), to the dual-bay
models (DiskStation 207 Series, with RAID1), to the quad-bay
models (CubeStation CS407 and Rackmount RackStation RS407
with RAID5). This eclectic collection of Synology products
offers many options for creating a backup solution for
offices small and large or for data centers.
In addition to the SSH and rsync update, Synology products
will be NFS-ready. Following the instructions in the
SynologyWiki, power users will be able to enable the NFS
Service and manage their Synology product in a method they
are more familiar with.
