The new TS-x69L series, available in 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8-drive versions,
is powered by a dual-core Intel Atom processor, equipped with 1GB DDR3
RAM, which can be upgraded to 3GB optionally.

With support for SATA 2.5", 3.5" HDD and SSD up to 4TB, and with dual USB 3.0 ports for high-speed backup, the TS-x69L NAS series is compatible with Windows OS, Linux/UNIX, and the latest Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

The TS-x69L series is equipped with 512MB DOM (Disk on Module)
with dual firmware image design for system downtime prevention. In the
event of corrupted firmware caused by accidental power loss during
system boot, the NAS will boot with the backup firmware and then
automatically recover the failed one for continuous system uptime.

Featuring business applications, it is designed to fulfill SMB users’
needs for and reliable storage solutions to virtualization environments.
The iSCSI protocol provides a seamless IP-SAN solution for
server virtualization with support for vSphere, XenServer and Hyper-V.
Being certified with VMware Ready for ESXi 5, the TS-x69L series
supports both vSphere 4 and vSphere 5. In addition, the TS-x69L series
also supports Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), which can be used to
create different network segments for different devices to communicate
with each other regardless of their physical location.

The new series also comes with dual GbE ports.

"The QNAP lab test statistics reveal that both writing and reading
speeds in a Windows environment exceed 220 MB/sec in network trunking
mode, providing excellent speed for storage and virtualization
environments," commented Jason Hsu, product manager of QNAP.

The TS-x69L series provides a way to build private cloud storage with
cross-platform file sharing and centralized storage for Windows, Mac,
and Linux/UNIX users. By enabling Windows AD or LDAP directory services,
IT administrators can retrieve user accounts from Windows AD or
LDAP-based directory servers, and assign access rights on the Turbo NAS
to reduce the time and effort spent in account setup for large-scale
businesses. As for access rights control, the Windows ACL (Access
Control List) feature offers shared folder permission settings, which
simplify IT management for businesses with a large number of users.

The flexible backup solutions include Real-time Remote Replication
(RTRR) for real-time or scheduled data backup, cloud-based storage data
backup to Amazon S3, ElephantDrive and Symform ,and the support of
third-party backup software such as Veeam Backup and Replication and
Acronis True Image.

Furthermore, with snapshot technology, IT administrators can use
the LUN snapshot to back up contents in the LUN to various storage
destinations. The free QNAP NetBak Replicator helps PC users to set
real-time synchronization and schedule backup and auto-backup to the
Turbo NAS in just a few clicks. In addition, the TS-x69L series supports
Apple Time Machine backup. Mac OS X users can backup data, restore the
system, or retrieve files from a specific backup timestamp.

The TS-x69L series also supports the Surveillance Station Pro for
network surveillance, supporting more than 1,400 IP cameras with one
free camera license. Additional camera licenses are available for
purchase. Users can install up to 12 IP cameras on the TS-x69L series.

Managing the rapid growth of digital information is necessary for
business accessibility and continuity. NAS provides a centralized,
secured solution to share and access data for small businesses.

"These QNAP NAS solutions with Intel Atom technologies at their core provide protection for critical business information", said David Tuhy, GM, Intel Storage Group.
