Package Center

Use Package Center to easily install and update many applications that will dramatically boost your NAS server's usability. You only have to browse through Synology's available applications to pick those you want to install. You can also manually upload and install an application. Synology offers a rich variety of applications it grouped into the following categories: Backup, Multimedia, Business, Security, and Utilities.

This is the first time we noticed a paid-for application in Package Center. So far, all were provided for free; however, some developers are apparently starting to charge for their apps, which is completely normal.

Resource Monitor

The Resource Monitor allows you to monitor the system's resources—these include CPU usage, memory usage, disk utilization, and network transfer speeds. You can monitor resources in real time or view bygone data.

Info Center

Info Center lists the NAS server's hardware specifications and comes with an overview of its services, the network, and its storage devices. A green icon under Thermal Status in its first tab denotes a normal state, while orange is indicative of high internal temperatures that will cause the NAS to shut down at any moment to prevent components from overheating. Hover over these icons with your cursor and the CPU's temperature will be displayed.
