Qnap Xeon E based TS-x83XU Rackmount Enterprise NAS With ECC DDR4 Memory

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched the Xeon E based TS-x83XU enterprise NAS series with ECC DDR4 memory that delivers server-class performance and dependable reliability.

All models in the series feature two 10GbE SFP+ ports using Mellanox Technologies Ltd.‘ ConnectX-4 Lx SmartNIC controllers and support installing a PCIe graphics card for empowering video surveillance, VMs and AI applications.

Coupled with the company’s software-defined SSD extra over-provisioning and comprehensive virtualization capabilities, the TS-x83XU series provides a high-performance and dependable – yet cost-efficient – NAS solution for enterprise IT requirements.

“The TS-x83XU was specifically designed for enterprises that require server-class standards of performance and reliability for business-critical data and applications,” said David Tsao, product manager, Qnap. “Businesses and organizations can unlock greater application potential and increase their everyday working efficiency by leveraging game-changing features such as PCIe expandability, SSD-optimization technologies, and tiered storage.“

The TS-x83XU series includes models with 8, 12, 16, and 24 drive-bays – and also a 9-bay hybrid storage model that supports four 3.5-inch HDDs and five 2.5-inch SSDs. It features server-grade hardware with Xeon E processors, up to 64GB dual-channel ECC DDR4 memory that assists in maintaining data integrity. The PCIe slots introduce flexible I/O expansion by installing 10GbE/25GbE/40GbE network cards for bandwidth-demanding applications, QM2 cards for adding additional M.2 SSDs, graphics cards for empowering GPGPU tasks, and SAS expansion cards for JBOD expansion.

The TS-x83XU series provides two 10GbE SFP+ ports and will support the company’s upcoming 25GbE NIC (QXG-25G2SF-CX4) to accelerate file sharing and intensive data transfer, realize high-speed remote backup via Hybrid Backup Sync, and support iSER (iSCSI Extension for RDMA) to improve VMware virtualization performance by using the ConnectX-4 Lx SmartNIC controllers. Users can also enable SSD caching to tackle IO/s-demanding applications and allocate SSD extra over-provisioning (from 1% to 60%) to potentially attain higher SSD endurance levels and improved random write performance, for enterprise applications, data centers, and storage virtualization.

The TS-x83XU performs as a scalable integrated storage solution. It supports VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server 2016. The ability to host multiple VMs and containers fulfills greater application potential. Block-based snapshots enable instant backup and recovery with minimized RTO. The Network and Virtual Switch app features flexible manageability for reorganizing physical and virtual network connections with greater ease. QVR Pro can help create a professional-grade video surveillance system (includes eight free IP camera channels, can be expanded to 128 channels by purchasng additional licenses).
