DSM 4.3 equips IT admins and users with higher levels of operational efficiency. It supports HFS+, NSFv4, Windows DFS links and Symbolic Link to advance file-sharing capability. Speed Limit Scheduler lets IT admins schedule file transfer cap by user, group or service for optimal bandwidth utilisation. Furthermore, Synology takes the lead to let users sign in Google Apps using their existing LDAP credentials managed on DiskStation.
