Qnap TS-216G 2-Bay 2.5GbE Desktop NAS for Individuals, Families and Workgroups with Smart Management and High-Speed Backup

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched the TS-216G NAS, a performing and substantial 2-bay NAS designed for individuals, families, and workgroups.

The ARM quad-core processor with a 2.5GbE port, 4GB RAM, and NPU (Neural network Processing Unit) takes 2-bay NAS performance to the next level. Not only can it streamline backup from multiple devices and improve overall data security, but also creates a file management center for home or work users – making the product a cost-effective and high-efficiency 2-bay NAS.

The built-in NPU, designed for AI applications, can accelerate image recognition for the AI-powered QuMagie smart photo management, especially when users import hundreds or thousands of photos at a time. It also reduces CPU workloads, resulting in higher computing performance and lower power consumption for the TS-216G.

“The TS-216G is an economical and smart storage solution, allowing users to easily use it for central management of all kinds of files from various devices, and for convenient file sharing/sync with others to improve collaboration,” said Jerry Deng, product manager. “What’s even better, by coming with 4GB RAM, 2.5GbE, and various applications, the TS-216G can run media streaming and surveillance systems more smoothly, making it a reliable and secure private cloud for individuals, families, and small offices.”

In addition to hardware design, the TS-216G runs the QTS 5.1 NAS OS that includes a built-in App Center with feature-rich applications: File Station streamlines NAS file access, sharing, and management through a web browser; Hybrid Backup Sync backs up NAS files to the cloud or another NAS to fulfill 3-2-1 backup strategies; Qsync enables efficient synchronization across multiple users and devices. The NA also provides multimedia-oriented features and mobile apps, such as QuMagie and Music Station, allowing users to not only browse and manage all photos, videos, and music files in the NAS from anywhere, on any device but also free up storage capacity of their mobile phone.
