“Compared with similar products, the TS-1635 provides the most budget-friendly, high-capacity NAS solution for SMBs. It supports up to 16 HDDs, creating epic storage potential with high-capacity HDDs and high-performance SSDs,” said Jason Hsu, product manager, Qnap. “With two integrated 10GbE ports, the TS-1635 also provides an affordable entryway for 10GbE adoption by SMBs.“

The TS-1635 provides multiple storage applications. With VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) support, users can leverage the capacity TS-1635 to expand the storage space of other company’s NAS and create virtual storage pools and volumes on virtual disks for operating NAS services. To maximize the storage space of the TS-1635, users can connect up to two firm’s expansion enclosures (UX-800P/UX-500P). With this capacity potential, the TS-1635 is for storing surveillance videos. Utilizing its eight free IP camera channels (expandable to 40 channels by purchasing additional licenses), users can deploy a professional network surveillance Video Management System (VMS) center with Surveillance Station on the TS-1635.

The TS-1635 is for SMBs to build a secure private cloud. It supports cross-platform file sharing for Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix, serving as a useful centralized storage. Windows AD, LDAP directory services and Windows ACL are supported to improve the efficiency of permission settings. Backup, restoration and synchronization functions (via RTRR, Rsync, FTP or CIFS/SMB) are also integrated into the Hybrid Backup Sync app, allowing users to efficiently synchronize their backup tasks to other company’s NAS, remote servers and cloud storage.

The TS-1635 provides software features to boost productivity. Container Station brings advanced virtualization technologies and provides QIoT Containers to transform it into a private IoT cloud platform for rapid IoT stack development. Company’s proprietary full-text search engine, Qsirch, allows files to be found and supports searching through .eml files stored on the NAS. QmailAgent allows users to centrally manage multiple email accounts from popular email services and IMAP servers. Qcontactz allows for the centralization of contact information, providing greater organization of business networking resources.
