QNAP TS-262 - Little hero of a small office
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 ...

What do cryptocurrencies and Linux have in common, and why neither "took off"
The cryptocurrency market has collapsed, and let's leave the romance and childhood dreams and admit to ourselves: cryptocurrencies will not be able to break the financial system with banks. We already have an example of excellent free Linux operating systems, which were also predicted for the great future, but failed.
TL;DR

the absence of a leader, a strategy, a clear sales model and an administrative resource creates chaos on the site of open projects, from which nothing worthwhile can ...
Discovering the features of QNAP QGD-3014 - a hybrid of a PoE switch and a NAS
A very unusual NAS, which the manufacturer himself considers to be Smart Edge switches. It has a built-in PoE switch for 16 ports, as well as 2.5-Gigabit Upstream interfaces and a software architecture with isolated network spaces for video surveillance.

In small companies, NAS can significantly reduce infrastructure costs.

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 ...

QNAP has got very interesting monstrous NAS-s for working with large amounts of data. The storage system under consideration today with a head unit for 24 3.5-inch hard drives makes it possible to pack 384 TB of data into one system and do without expansion shelves at all, which may be quite enough for the needs of a small enterprise.

QNAP QSW-1208-8C: 10GBe switch review
This switch has no competitor with the same number of ports and support for 2.5 G Base-T and 5GBase-T. We tested this model for compatibility with existing network cards and cables, as well as measured performance.
