 "Synology launches DiskStation Manager 4.0 Beta")
Synology has announced the beta availability of its DiskStation Manager (DSM) 4.0. The new Cloud Station synchronizes users’ files automatically across their DiskStation, RackStation, desktops, and laptops, using a secured private cloud dedicated to its owner. The files stay intact for retrieval offline. In addition to this, QuickConnect keeps users away from complicated port forwarding, while DDNS service powered by Synology offers users free domain names. DSM 4.0 also pushes notifications triggered by users’ self-defined events to Skype, Microsoft Messenger and DS finder.

Moreover, DSM 4.0 is compliant with industry standards to extend productivity, including the VMware vSphere 5.
