TDS-16489U hardware overview
Powered by dual Xeon E5 processors and 16 DIMM slots for up to 1TB of DDR4 2133MHz RAM, the TDS-16489U features 4x10GbE network ports and is 40GbE ready out of the box. Three independent 12Gb SAS controllers allow for maximum I/O performance among the 16 drives and four PCIe NVMe SSDs used for caching. Support for optional Radeon R7 and R9 graphics cards for full GPU pass-through to virtualized machines. With its server grade performance for big data applications, the TDS-16489U is cost effective, reliable, and scalable.

Qtier technology and GPU pass-through – part of QTS 4.2
The Qtier technology dynamically analyzes and balances data into 3 tiers and is part of the embedded QTS 4.2 management software. ‘Hot’ frequently-accessed data is kept in the SSD cache for fastest delivery, less-frequently used ‘warm’ data in high-performance SAS HDDs, and infrequently used or archived ‘cold’ data on the most cost-effective SATA drives. This combination of data management with ultra-fast SSD caching is proven to accelerate network performance with lower TCO.

In addition to Qtier technology is the GPU-Pass-through capability of the TDS-16489U. As graphics capabilities have long been limited on virtualized platforms, with this feature solves this issue and lets an external dedication GPU be assigned directly to a VM to provide full support for rich 3D graphics/graphic-intensive applications. The recently refreshed QTS for business NAS models feature many other business critical applications including centralized backups and data replication.

Available models:

  • TDS-16489U SA1 (ES-2620 2.4GHz 6-core processor x2, 64GB DDR4 RDIMM)

  • TDS-16489U-SA2 (ES-2620 2.4GHz 6-core processor x2, 128GB DDR4 RDIMM)
