Qnap 6-Bay TVS-672X and 8-Bay TVS-872X 10GbE Desktop NAS With Intel Core i3 Processors

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched 6-bay TVS-672X and 8-bay TVS-872X 10GbE NAS with Intel Corp.’s Core i3 processors.

With expandable storage capacity and feature-rich apps, both models support M.2 NVMe SSD cache acceleration, PCIe expansion, multi-cloud backup, 4K@60Hz HDMI output, real-time transcoding, support for Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS), and more features to enhance the workflows and productivity of SMBs.

“The 10GbE-ready TVS-x72X is a step up from the TVS-x72N 5GbE NAS. Users can take advantage of the built-in dual M.2 SSD slots for SSD caching or Qtier auto-tiered storage, enjoying optimized storage efficiency and performance while maximizing 10GbE potential,” said Joseph Chiang, product manager. “Secure remote access and comprehensive file management also make the TVS-x72X series ideal for a remote working file center to improve teamwork and productivity.“

The TVS-x72X series features a Core i3-8100T quad-core 3.1GHz processor with dual-channel DDR4 memory (upgradable to 64GB). It provides 2Gb and 1x10GBASE-T RJ45 (10Gb/s/5G/b/s2.5Gb/s/1Gb/s/100Mb/s) port to increase VM performance, intensive file access, high-speed backup/restore, and media file transfer. Four USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gb/s) ports also allow compatibility with newer, faster USB drives/expansion enclosures for transferring large media files. The TVS-x72X series is for use with the company’s budget-friendly managed and unmanaged 10GbE switches for high-speed, secure, and scalable network environments.

Users can configure SSD caching by using either 2.5-inch SSDs or 2 M.2 NVMe 2280 SSDs (sold separately) in the TVS-x72X. PCIe expandability empowers NAS usage potential by installing the firm’s QM2 cards, 2.5/5/10/25GbE network cards, FC cards, and storage expansion cards. The TVS-x72X series provides an HDMI 2.0 output that supports up to 4K (3,840 x 2,160p) @60Hz, and allows for directly displaying multimedia, VMs, or an Ubuntu desktop on a monitor or TV.

The TVS-x72X series meets storage demands for security, backup, file sharing, and central management. Block-based snapshots ensure data protection and instant restoration, helping users protect against ransomware threats. HBS (Hybrid Backup Sync) facilitates local/remote/cloud backup tasks and saves time and storage with the help of QuDedup technology that de-dupes backup files at the source. The TVS-x72X NAS can also act as a business-class backup center by supporting backup/restore of cloud data and VMs (including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, VMware and Hyper-V). Team collaboration can be improved with Qsync for file synchronization. The built-in App Center increases NAS application potential, such as hosting multiple virtual machines and containers and deploying a cloud storage gateway.

TVS-x72X NAS users can switch the OS from QTS to QuTS hero – firm’s ZFS-based NAS OS. Providing end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline data de-dupe, compression and compaction), and much more, QuTS hero uses additional system resources to ensure an environment for protecting business data.
