Specifikationer - Software:
Her, i softwaredelen, er der virkeligt noget at arbejde med. QNAPs "styresystem", QTS 4.0 - har utallige muligheder for udnyttelse af denne stærke NAS.
QNAPs nye "styresystem" / brugerflade QTS 4.0 virker tiltalende ved første møde. Det var et tiltrængt ansigtsløft, som nu har bragt QNAP op på siden af konkurrenter, som Synology og Thecus - jeg vil endda tillade mig at skrive "lidt foran dem" på nogle områder. Allerede knapt 14 dage efter den første udgivelse af QTS 4.0, kom den første opdatering med ekstra faciliteter. Herunder er login-siden vist, samt skrivebordet med de nye ikoner:
Jeg har gennem mine test af QNAP været igennem de fleste muligheder i softwaren og det virker bare. Jeg har ikke oplevet nogen svagheder i softwaren. Ikke at der "garanteret ikke er fejl" - jeg har blot ikke mødt dem, så ros igen til produktet.
Herunder er vist de forskellige muligheder i softwaren samt brugerfladen med dette nyere design. Der er simpelthen så mange muligheder, at det virker ubegrænset for, hvad man kan benytte sådan en NAS til. Jeg har f.eks. en ven, som er Fotograf og sidst i 60'erne aldersmæssigt. Han skulle bruge en simpel mulighed til at dele/sende hans arbejde til kunderne på en enkel måde. Jeg har så sat sådan en NAS op til ham, som ligner denne. Han lægger sine billeder ind i en mappe i sin "Filestation" på NAS'en. Man kopierer linket til sin mappe, som NAS'en automatisk tildeler linket til - sender linket til kunden på mail, hvorefter kunden klikker på linket i mailen, som han har modtaget. Kunden indtaster et brugernavn og en adgangskode (som man ønsker det og angiver i mailen) - og downloader sine billeder. Enkelt - men blot en af de utallige muligheder for hvermand til at gøre tilværelsen lettere med en NAS.
Jeg har vel næsten ikke nødig at skrive dette: jeg er vild med denne nye software fra QNAP. Alt er blevet bedre og mere intuitivt korrekt. Man kører pr. automatik igennem de forskellige punkter i softwaren - og man føler sig hjemme umiddelbart. Stor ros til QNAP for deres arbejde og deres endelige produkt her.
I stedet for at jeg fylder denne artikel med skærmskud til alle mulighederne, så er her et link til QNAPs hjemmeside. Her kan du klikke på de ikoner, som du har interesse i - og se hvilke muligheder, som du får givet:http://www.qnap.com/i/useng/qts4/?hf=old
Herunder ses de to ting, som jeg er meget facineret af: Photostation og Musicstation. Photostation har sågar exif-data (billedets data). Det har flere andre fabrikanter også på deres NAS'er, men jeg kan godt lide udformningen her hos QNAP. Mulighederne er igen utallige, både med billeder og musik, deling af det hele og mange mange flere muligheder.
Én af QNAPs rigtigt spændende nyheder er "Qsync". Et program, som synkroniserer dine filer imellem dine enheder og NAS'en. Det vil sige, at du f.eks. kan synkronisere dine mail-programmer så som Outlook med flere, hvor du har dine mails på din PC, smartphone m.m. Du opbevarer dit "mail-lager", evt. .PST fil e.l. i en bestemt mappe, som du så peger på vedrørende synkronisering, så kan du udnytte synkroniseringen, så din kollega og dig har opdaterede kalendere og mails, bare som eksempel. Dette gælder alle filer, som er i synkroniseringsmappen - også dokumenter, billeder osv. Selvfølgelig har man kunnet tilkøbe programmer, som gør det samme, men her er det integreret i din QNAP - og ganske gratis.
Herunder er Qsync illustreret mht. download og opsætning, lettere kan det ikke blive at sætte sådan et program op:
Det er så enkelt at installere, enkelt at pege på mappen, alle kan deltage her. QNAP har virkelig fundet en masse spændende faciliteter frem med deres nyere software. De har også arbejdet på denne software i flere år, og børnesygdomme / begynderfejl har jeg ikke kunnet finde endnu, mon der ér nogle fejl? Det hele virker gennemtænkt med en pragtfuld og intuitiv korrekt brugerflade.
Eftersom den også kan afspille dine medier, så som billeder, musik, videoer mm. på bl.a. dit HD-TV, så er her en længere liste med de muligheder, som QNAP tilbyder:
