QNAP kündigt 3.5 Firmware für mitte August an – Voll Lion kompatibel

Der NAS Speicherhersteller QNAP kündigte diese Woche in einem Presse Release an das er die 3.5 Firmware noch mitte August zum Download bereitstellen will. In der neuen Firmware soll nicht nur die Time Machine mit OS X Lion kompatibel werden, sondern auch eine eine Reihe von neuen Funktionen mit implementiert werden.

Mit der zuletzt veröffentlichen 3.4.4 zog QNAP nach und machte seine Speichersysteme mit dem neuen AFP Protokoll von OS X Lion kompatibel, mit der 3.5 wird dann auch die Time Machine wieder funktionieren. Eine vollständige Übersicht der neuen Funktionen und Verbesserungen seht ihr unten.

• Mac OS X Lion support: supports file access and Time Machine backup;
• Antivirus: scans the Turbo NAS manually or on recurring schedule and deletes or quarantines files infected by viruses, malware, Trojans, and other malicious threats;

• External drive encryption: blocks unauthorized access and protects external drives data by encrypting a disk volume or a specific partition;
• Windows Live Messenger notifications: allows the administrator to instantly monitor the NAS status and receive instant notifications on warning and error alerts via Windows Live Messenger;
• Service binding support: provides options to allow or block specific services from predefined network interfaces, including Wi-Fi;
