Qnap TS-451U Turbo NAS

Qnap Systems, Inc. announced the TS-451U Turbo NAS, an 4-bay 1U rackmount, featuring a dual-core Celeron 2.41GHz processor that delivers multi-tasking abilities for small and home offices in handling daily operations including file storage, backup, sharing, synchronization, and more.

Designed for scalability, the storage capacity of the TS-451U can be easily expanded with an economical expansion enclosure to meet the needs of growing storage.

“In the entry-level rack-mountable NAS segment, we are glad to be the first NAS company to introduce the energy-efficient, 64-bit Celeron-powered TS-451U, which is designed for budget-conscious SOHO users to store and backup data without sacrificing performance,” said Jason Hsu, product manager, Qnap. “Coupled with feature-rich business applications, QvPC Technology, Virtualization Station and 1,080p video transcoding, the TS-451U delivers the best cost-effectiveness for growing business data needs.“

Powered by a dual-core Celeron 2.41GHz processor with 1GB energy-efficient DDR3L RAM (upgradable to 8GB), the TS-451U is a NAS that delivers up to 220MB/s read and write speeds with dual LAN ports. Its full NAS AES 256-bit volume encryption ensures the safety of sensitive data.

The TS-451U provides data protection and feature-rich office applications, including SSD cache for boosting the IO/s performance of storage volumes; comprehensive RAID configuration and advanced storage pool design; Windows and Mac backup solutions and RTRR, rsync and cloud storage backup solutions; Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix cross-platform file sharing benefiting organizations with large amount of users; and Windows AD, LDAP Directory Service and Windows ACL for improving efficiency of user permission settings and management.

Users can gradually expand the TS-451U’s total storage to 128TB raw capacity on demand by connecting a 12-bay UX-1200U-RP RAID expansion enclosure. With this flexibility, organizations can be confident that the NAS will suit their storage requirements both now and in the future.

With QvPC Technology, the TS-451U can be operated and managed by plugging in a keyboard, mouse and HDMI monitor and it allows users to quickly set up NAS settings, access stored data, run multiple applications using Windows/Linux/Unix/Android-based VMs created in Virtualization Station, surf the web, watch 1,080p videos with XBMC, monitor live surveillance feeds from up to 24 IP cameras, and much more. The real-time and offline transcoding capabilities allow for smooth video playback experience on various devices across bandwidth-limited network connections. The Signage Station app provides more practical SOHO applications with great tools to create advertisements or animated materials for promoting business services, and to update contents in a timely manner.
