Building a private cloud for your home
HOME Cloud systems have, for some two years, moved from being buzz phrases to actual home technologies. The availability of Network Attached Storage (NAS) technologies have made this possible.
Leading the charge for home Cloud systems is the Taiwanese technology company Synology.
It recently launched the DiskStation DS420j, a file syncing and sharing solution that addresses different capacity demands for home users. The system provides for up to 64 TB storage capacity using a bank of 4 hard disk bays that can take as little as a 1TB hard drive to a maximum 64TB drive.
DS420j offers a simple and private solution with massive capacity for you and your family to sync and share memories as you grow them,” Kevin Meng, Product Manager at Synology Inc. said.
The DS420j is powered by a quad-core Realtek RTD1296 chipset that goes up to 1.4GHz.
That is a 64-bit 4-core CPU, making it that much more versatile when it comes to handling multimedia tasks including keeping surveillance videos, storing photos and even streaming multimedia content at home. It has one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.0 ports, and two powerful 80mm fans.
Using it with Synology’s Surveillance Station, setting up security cameras on home network and interfacing this with the CCTV box is easy using products, the proprietary DiskStation Manager, a highly configurable, web-based OS. The interface seamlessly backs up your data from phones and other devices. It will also sync files across platforms, and stream media to all devices on your home network over DLNA.
