This model shows that even a small 2-disk desktop NAS can pleasantly surprise with storage capabilities: up to 4 NVME SSDs and up to 16 hard drives when using cards and expansion shelves. The ability to configure layer-by-layer storage and run applications in containers in a compartment with a 2.5-gigabit network makes it an excellent choice for a modern office with remote access and Wi-Fi 6. I already described the concept of a modern office in which all employees work remotely and only ...

Now customers have the opportunity to use ZFS in entry-level storage: now you can combine deduplication and SAN connection via FC, configure caching of Cloud storage on a local disk, and synchronize backups between cloud services. Plus, you can mine cryptocurrency directly on the NAS. In the 2020s, QNAP could no longer avoid using a file system with Copy On Write support: yes, three years ago they had a powerful 2-controller machine based on the FreeBSD kernel in their arsenal, but the lack ...

In small companies, NAS can significantly reduce infrastructure costs. Those who decommissioned servers yesterday by moving resources to the NAS are canceling their subscriptions to the software that QNAP performs out of the box today. And now the time has come when QNAP swooped down on the sacred: the reservation of virtual machines. In 2019, the world market for backup and data recovery software, according to estimates by Allied Market Research, amounted to $ 9.3 billion. An article of ...

In this article, we're going to find out if a digital content company needs a fast 10 Gigabit NAS accelerated by SSDs? We will explore new technologies for working with SSDs and conduct tests in real applications. I recently had a discussion with a colleague about laying a Category 7 copper cable in a quartet for a 10 Gigabit network with a 40 Gigabit scope. It’s not an easy idea, I’ll tell you, to drag a cable a penny thick along the baseboards and through the wall, and it also bends very ...

Active-Active fault-tolerant architecture and ZFS file system support puts this NAS on a par with NetAPP, Dell / EMC and HPE solutions. Total iSCSI throughput is 120 Gbps, on-the-fly deduplication saves space by tens of times when hosting virtual machines - we tested all these features, including switching times and latencies when one of the controllers fails. In our previous review  QNAP TDS-16489U , which can be used both as a computational node and as a virtualization tool with support ...

Well-known design, well-known interface, huge functionality, not oversaturated with possibilities and traditional pricing policy - slightly more expensive than analogs. Some things have not changed in QNAP products from the very first generation to this day, but this does not affect their popularity. Today we will take a look at a somewhat new, somewhat conservative, but very powerful NAS for 8 disks, built on Intel Atom 2.13 GHz and think about the reasons for the popularity of QNAP networking ...

An NAS for small businesses with big ambitions. Rackmount, 12 hard drive bays, 2 power supplies and expansion cards. The latter actually means the ability to work in 10G networks, which in turn gives performance at the level of 1 gigabyte per second. We tested this NAS in a 10G environment and saw with our own eyes that the highest performance is now available on inexpensive storage systems over twisted pair cables without expensive optics. It would seem that the manufacturers of NAS-s for ...

In this article, we will look at modern technologies that QNAP uses for its top NAS-s. These technologies provide flexibility in configuring LUNs, volumes and folders, creating and administering iSCSI volumes, as well as managing disk shelves and scaling. Simply put, here's a look at how NAS becomes an enterprise storage system. Starting with home and small office products, QNAP has gradually expanded its lineup to offer enterprise-grade storage systems that flexibly scale with expansion ...
