QNAP Systems announced the release of new enterprise-class 12Gbps SAS-enabled, 40GbE-ready TVS-ECx80U-SAS-RP series rackmount NAS. Available in 24, 16, 15 and 12-bay models, the series is compatible with the high-density 12Gbps SAS RAID expansion enclosures REXP-1620U-RP and REXP-1220U-RP. The TVS-ECx80U-SAS-RP series is an industry-leading unified NAS that supports Auto Tiering to deliver constant optimization of data across high-performance SSD, 12Gbps SAS drives and high-capacity SATA disks.
The TVS-ECx80U-SAS-RP series is powered by a quad-core Intel Xeon E3 v3 processor with 16GB DDR3 or 8GB DDR3 ECC RAM to deliver high performance up to 3,800+ MB/s throughput and 268,100+ IOPS, supports 10GbE-ready network connectivity, and features pre-installed 256GB mSATA modules for caching to improve the overall workflow of IOPS-demanding applications.
Supporting Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro adapter cards with 10/40/56 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, the TVS-ECx80U-SAS-RP series can achieve significantly higher throughput for high-performance embedded I/O applications and virtualization acceleration.
Featuring high scalability, the TVS-ECx80U-SAS-RP series supports online capacity expansion by connecting up to eight QNAP RAID expansion enclosures (REXP-1620U-RP and REXP-1220U-RP) to flexibly expand the total storage to over 1 PB raw capacity (depending on models) for growing data needs. The QTS Storage Manager can be used to manage the entire NAS capacity, and quickly create volume/LUN snapshots for easy backup, restoration and cloning.
Users can run multiple applications on Windows/Linux/UNIX/Android based virtual machines on the NAS with the Virtualization Station. Users can operate multiple isolated Linux systems on the NAS as well as can download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry by using the Container Station which integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies and simplify virtual storage management for VMware, Microsoft and Citrix virtualization solutions.
The TVS-ECx80U-SAS-RP series includes comprehensive business applications and is ideal for enterprises and organizations to build a secure private cloud. The cross-platform file sharing for Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX users makes the TVS-ECx80U-SAS-RP series an excellent centralized storage solution for organizations with a large number of users. The support for Windows AD, LDAP directory services and Windows ACL improves the efficiency of permission settings. It also acts as a domain controller for Windows, and offers flexible backup solutions for Windows and Mac and disaster recovery solutions with RTRR, rsync and cloud storage backup. The TVS-ECx80U-SAS-RP series offers up to 5 year warranty with 3-year global warranty inclusive at no extra cost.
