The TS-831X further supports VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) to introduce an economical way to utilize unused NAS storage space for expanding the storage capacity of other firm’s NAS. Taking advantage of TS-831X’s native support of Container Station, organizations can rapidly develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) apps to create more business opportunities.

The TS-831X uses an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-314 quad-core 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A15 processor, and features 8GB/16GB DDR3 RAM (upgradable to 16GB), RAID-5/6 support, hardware-accelerated encryption and an SSD cache. It is 10GbE-ready with two built-in 10GbE SFP+ ports, and allows users to install a third 10GbE port via the extra PCIe slot for flexible high-speed network deployment.

Company’s VJBOD is network-based JBOD, which helps maximize NAS storage utilization. Besides using physical storage expansion enclosures, users can use the high-capacity TS-831X to economically expand other firm’s NAS storage with VJBOD, and to create virtual storage pools and volumes on virtual disks for operating NAS services.

VJBOD introduces an economical way to utilize unused NAS storage, and provides users with an additional flexible storage expansion solution to maximize the utilization of available storage,” said Ripple Wu, product manager, Qnap.”

Container Station exclusively integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies. Users can operate multiple isolated Linux systems on the TS-831X as well as download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry. The TS-831X with Container Station provides a private IoT cloud platform with countless hands-on containerized apps for developers to initialize microservices, and to apply, rapidly develop, and conveniently deploy IoT applications.

QNAP_TS-831X_RTRR
The TS-831X is a storage solution for storage, backup, sharing and centralized management, supporting Windows and Mac desktop/laptop backup, RTRR (Real-Time Remote Replication) with backup versioning, rsync and backup to cloud storage (Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Microsoft Azure, ElephantDrive, Dropbox and Google cloud Storage) as well as file sharing across Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix. The TS-831X can be used as a VPN server or VPN Client to secure network access. The Qsirch full-text searching tool helps quickly find NAS data, and Qsync provides multiple ways for file synchronization and group file sharing to enhance the flexibility of team projects and collaboration.

Businesses can rely on the scalable TS-831X as a future-proof storage solution. The TS-831X can attach two company’s expansion enclosures (8-bay UX-800P and 5-bay UX-500P) to support up to 24 HDDs. With the support of QJBOD Express (JBOD enclosure roaming), users can migrate data from the TS-831X to another NAS using a JBOD enclosure without needing a network connection, saving considerable time for migrating a large amount of backup data.
