As data volumes grow and threats rise, QNAP offers enterprise-grade immutable storage and backup to defend against ransomware, human error, and data tampering. The Hybrid Backup Center cloud platform centralizes backup/restore operations across multi-site NAS deployments, reducing IT overhead and improving backup efficiency.

Also debuting is the highly anticipated myQNAPcloud One, a unified subscription-based cloud storage solution that combines file and object storage in a single plan. It supports data immutability, flexible usage allocation, and zero transfer or API request fees – enabling simplified deployment and cost transparency for modern businesses.

AI-Ready Storage: Redefining Architecture for Intelligence Era

As GenAI and large language models (LLMs) reshape knowledge management, QNAP leads the way by introducing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) search to private NAS environments. Supporting OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Azure OpenAI APIs, QNAP enables fast and accurate enterprise knowledge discovery using NAS-based smart search capabilities.

To support AI workloads shifting from cloud to edge, the company introduces the Edge AI Storage Server solution. With VM support, GPU passthrough, and efficient resource allocation across multiple operating systems, users can deploy open-source models such as LLaMA, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Phi-4, and integrate LLM management platforms to build internal AI applications – demonstrating QNAP’s ongoing innovation in edge AI infrastructure.

Accelerating Creative Workflows with High-Speed Storage and Transfer
As a long-standing innovator in M&E storage, QNAP remains the go-to solution for creative teams and studios that demand uncompromising performance and workflow efficiency.

The latest USB 4-based networking and storage expansion solutions enable creators to easily connect 10GbE networks and high-speed storage for streamlined workstation setup. Paired with the Thunderbolt 5-enabled TVS-AIh1688ATX NAS and the 100GbE networking solution, QNAP delivers ultra-high bandwidth and low-latency infrastructure for demanding video editing and rendering workflows.

From desktop JBODs to all-flash NAS, the company builds a complete media creation platform. The FileTiers automatic tiering technology intelligently manages data across local NAS, external JBOD, and myQNAPcloud Storage based on access frequency—optimizing performance and storage costs while enabling seamless content sharing, editing, and backup.

Future-Ready Networking: Intelligent Connectivity and Simplified Deployment
Networking should empower growth, not add complexity. QNAP QuWAN SD-WAN integrates automated Mesh VPN and Zero Trust architecture, enabling multi-site and remote device connectivity with minimal configuration. This reduces VPN setup effort and ongoing maintenance costs.

With AMIZcloud, the firm’s centralized cloud management platform, even small businesses can easily monitor and manage distributed NAS and switches – no large IT team required. It supports remote access control, device status monitoring, and streamlined operations for edge IT management.

To address rising cybersecurity concerns, QNAP introduces the ADRA NDR (Network Detection and Response) solution. Featuring deep packet inspection and anomaly detection, ADRA NDR detects threats in real time without disrupting internal operations. Unlike traditional firewalls focused on perimeter defense, ADRA NDR enhances lateral attack detection, making it a crucial role in Zero Trust security implementation.

Reinventing Surveillance: Unified Storage and AI-Driven Monitoring
QNAP delivers a flexible surveillance infrastructure for SMBs and enterprises by integrating storage with VMS. As an official Network Optix technology partner, the company’s NAS integrates video storage and the hosting platform for Nx Witness VMS in a single device, helping reduce hardware costs and simplify deployment.

TVR-AI200 smart surveillance appliance

The new TVR-AI200 smart surveillance appliance features built-in AI video analytics, PoE support, and offline setup in under 10 minutes – ideal for retail and commercial environments requiring cost-effective, secure monitoring.

For users familiar with QNAP’s surveillance platform, the enhanced QVR Surveillance service streamlines video management through an intuitive interface and unified architecture. By integrating recording, event analysis, and centralized monitoring, it helps organizations reduce management overhead, scale with ease, and improve response efficiency across day-to-day security operations.
