Synology DiskStations Work Across Windows, Mac OS and Linux

Many office and even some home environments have both PC and Mac platforms on the network. Often times it is difficult to share files between platforms due to different network protocols, but with the Synology DiskStation, network attached storage that connects with PC, Mac, and even Linux platforms this problem is eliminated. With a DiskStation as a central file server, multiple platforms can be simultaneously connected and sharing files through an application like interface called File Station, which is included with all Synology DiskStations in the Synology DiskStation Manager firmware.

Even backups are a breeze with multiple platforms on a single network. With the PC backup client, Data Replicator, native Time Machine support for Macs, and third party software available for Linux environments, all clients can use the Synology DiskStation as a backup target concurrently.

Offices and even home environments should have the flexibility to enjoy usability and file sharing on a multi-platform supported network. Adding a Synology DiskStation to your network allows for simplicity when it comes to data and print sharing, remote access and getting every day tasks done across the network.
