The TS-459U-RP/ SP+ is equipped with the next-generation Intel Atom Dual-Core 1.8GHz processor delivering exceptionally high performance, yet with low power consumption for energy-saving commitment. The Turbo NAS offers the best cost performance ratio of rack mount server in the industry; and provides versatile business applications to maximize server consolidation in the business environment. The Turbo NAS is integrated as a powerful all-in-one application server, which requires no extra time and efforts for software installation. The server managers can adopt the NAS in many of the system integration projects or office applications quickly. The Turbo NAS is also an affordable solution capable of business-class server applications, secure data backup and sharing, and iSCSI service for virtualized and clustered environment.
The Most Affordable and Flexible Virtualization SolutionTS-459U-RP+ is certified as compatible with VMware vSphere4 (ESX 4.0 and above) virtualization platform. The NAS can be utilized as the networked shared storage of VMware virtualization environments and Windows cluster servers. Comparing with traditional SAN (Storage Area Network), the Turbo NAS is a competitive alternative with much lower setup and maintenance costs in an IP SAN.
Feature-rich and Integrated Applications for BusinessThe NAS supports file sharing across Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX platforms. Versatile business applications such as file server, FTP server, printer server, web server, and Windows AD (Active Directory) support are provided. The dominant features, such as WebDAV, Share Folder Aggregation (also known as DFS), IPv6 and IPv4 dual-stack, Wake on LAN, schedule power on/ off, HDD S.M.A.R.T, comprehensive log systems, and policy-based unauthorized IP blocking are all included.
New iSCSI/ IP-SAN for Virtualization DeploymentsTurbo NAS provides flexible and secure storage server deployment with enhanced iSCSI features. Turbo NAS can serve as a NAS (network-attached storage) for file sharing and an iSCSI storage concurrently. The NAS supports multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) and iSCSI targets. The LUNs can be flexibly mapped to, unmapped from, and switched among different iSCSI targets. Designed with CHAP authentication and LUN masking, the advanced ACL (Access Control List) offers you the capability to block the access from unauthorized initiators. Comparing with the high cost of Fibre Channel SAN, Turbo NAS is an affordable system that can be deployed as a storage center for virtualized and clustered server environments, such as VMware, Citrix and Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster.
Virtual Disk Drive (VDD) adds flexibility to storage expansion along with ease of managementThe unique "Virtual Disk Drive" adds flexibility to expand the capacity of NAS. By using the built-in iSCSI initiator, the NAS can connect to other iSCSI targets on the network and turn them into virtual disks, which become multiple single volumes on the NAS. Up to 8 virtual disks can be stacked. The NAS serves as the storage stack chaining master. The user only needs to connect to this single entry (QNAP NAS) and is able to reach and use all the iSCSI LUN on the network.
Superior Performance and Energy-saving DesignThe NAS delivers superior performance and high reliability for critical business applications. It is optimized to achieve low noise and low power consumption for environment protection. The TS-459U-RP+ is equipped with two power supply units, each of which is capable of supplying the power for the entire NAS independently. If one of the units fails, the other one will take over to supply the power to ensure continuous operation of the NAS. You can replace the failed power supply unit without turning off the server.
Advanced RAID Management with Hot-swap DesignTurbo NAS offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 5+spare, 6, single, 10 and JBOD disk configurations. It also supports hot-swap design that a failed member drive of a RAID configuration (RAID 1 or above only) can be replaced by hot swapping without turning off the server.
