The 4-bay rackmount TVS-471U series is powered by Haswell Pentium and Core i3 processors that are capable of providing over 1,500MB/s throughput and 128,000 IO/s for CPU-intensive tasks including Virtualization Station, serving large numbers of simultaneous connections, and 4K video playback and transcoding. Its two on-board internal cache ports enables users to install mSATA flash modules to further enhance NAS performance for IO/s-demanding applications. The storage capacity of the TVS-471U series can be scaled up to over 1PB by attaching multiple company’s RAID expansion enclosures (REXP-1600U-RP and REXP-1200U-RP).

“The dual-core TVS-471U series is designed for reliability and scalability, and delivers the performance necessary for operating multiple VMs using Virtualization Station and to edit large videos on-the-fly“, said Alan Lin, product manager, Qnap.

With QvPC technology, users can directly operate the TVS-471U series as cost-effective PC substitutes by simply connecting a keyboard, mouse and HDMI display. Many common tasks including accessing stored data, running multiple applications on Windows/Linux/Unix/Android VMs, internet access, watching 4K videos, and monitoring surveillance feeds from IP cameras can be quickly and easily carried out directly using the NAS.
