Quad-core processor and two built-in 10 GbE SFP+ portsThe TS-431XeU is equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 AnnapurnaLabs processor, an Amazon company Alpine AL314 1.7 GHz, up to 8 GB DDR3 RAM and a SATA 6 Gbps hard drive interface. The accelerated hardware encryption engine of this NAS delivers best-in-class encryption performance with full 256-bit AES volume encryption, boosting system performance while keeping sensitive business data stored on the TS-431XeU secure. The TS-431XeU offers not only two Gigabit Ethernet ports but also a 10 GbE SFP+ port that fully supports high-speed 10 GbE networks. Companies that need more bandwidth for virtualisation and fast backups and restores for the ever-growing volume of data therefore benefit from blazing throughput. |

SSD cache accelerationThe TS-431XeU supports SSD caching, which significantly boosts the IOPS performance of storage volumes, improving operational efficiency. This support is perfect because it improves the overall workflow of IOPS-intensive applications, but also makes the most of the cost and performance by combining SSDs with HDDs. |
High reliability design ensures business continuityThe enterprise-class TS-431XeU is designed to provide 24x7 operations and services. Support for full RAID configurations and hot swapping provides the ability to replace hard drives without disruption. QNAP's advanced RAID recovery technology can also help if you accidentally remove healthy hard drives from a degraded RAID volume. The system can be restored by reinserting the hard drives that were removed by mistake so that the data remains accessible. The TS-431XeU provides high efficiency and reliability by supporting multipleport aggregation modes. In particular, it supports failover. |

VJBOD: Use your NAS to expand the capacity of other NAS devices to maximize space-sharing savingsNot only is it possible to expand the capacity of the NAS with expansion boxes, but it is also possible to do it in another way. QNAP VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) is a network JBOD that allows you to expand the capacity of your QNAP NAS by using other QNAP NAS. The TS-431XeU offers a huge capacity potential that allows you to economically expand the capacity of other QNAP NASes through VJBOD. You can also create virtual storage volumes and pools involving virtual disks to leverage NAS services. |
Deploy IoT applications in a flash with Container StationQNAP Container Station exclusively integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies and allows you to run multiple isolated Linux systems on the TS-431XeU and download applications from the built-in Docker Hub Registry. It supports container import/export and permission settings. In addition, it includes a dashboard and a flexible user interface that will allow you to manage multiple containers. In addition, Container Station provides an ideal platform with countless out-of-the-box containerised applications that give developers the ability to apply, develop and deploy IoT applications. It's all very simple and very fast. Just search for "IoT" in Container Station, get the right containers and build your own IoT stack with "QIoT containers" for various IoT applications. |

QTS - The intelligent and intuitive operating system for NASQTS improves management efficiency, personal productivity, entertainment, and more with its multiple applications and features. QTS is designed to be accessible and features an intelligent desktop that allows you to quickly find the desired functions, monitor important system information in real time, open multiple application windows to perform multiple tasks simultaneously with greater work efficiency. In addition, it features an App Center with on-demand applications to enhance the functionality of the NAS. With intelligent agent services that simplify system operations and management, QTS breaks down barriers between devices, platforms, and geography to provide you with the best experience in the cloud. |
Complete Disaster Recovery and Backup SolutionsThe TS-431XeU offers flexible backup solutions for Windows and Mac users. It also supports Hybrid Backup Sync which brings together backup, restore and synchronization (using RTRR, rsync, FTP, CIFS/SMB), to easily transfer data to local, remote or cloud storage, such as full data storage or disaster recovery. Supported cloud services include Amazon Glacier, Azure Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive for Business, Dropbox, Amazon Drive, Yandex Disk, Box, hubiC , and Amazon S3/OpenStack Swift/WebDAV compatible services. |

Comprehensive security optionsIn an open network environment, business data can be vulnerable to potential hacking. The TS-431XeU offers many security options, such as encrypted access, IP blocking, 2-step verification, and more. IT administrators can also control each user's access rights to different folders, preventing unauthorized access to important files. The TS-431XeU also supports 256-bit AES encryption, which prevents unauthorised access and breach of sensitive business data if the entire system or hard drives have been stolen. |
Secure Access with VPN Server and VPN ClientWith the new QVPN application that integrates VPN server and VPN client setting, the TS-431XeU can act as a VPN server supporting L2TP/IPsec, OpenVPN and PPTP protocols. Therefore, you can securely access the shared data on your private local networks. This NAS can also be used as a VPN client to connect to other VPN servers (simultaneous connection to multiple servers is possible) or to a virtual private network via PPTP and OpenVPN protocols for secure data transmission. You can connect your devices to the NAS and the VPN server at home to access data via the local network; via the VPN client of your NAS, you can for example connect to VPN servers in foreign countries to access regionally restricted services. |

QmailAgent: A message handling centre for your private cloudQmailAgent is an online email client that allows you to manage all your email accounts, giving you access to all your email while easily switching between accounts. It offers all the features you need to write, read and organise your emails. You can even directly attach files, photos and documents from the TS-431XeU when writing emails. iOS and Android users can use the QmailClient app to quickly check multiple email accounts with your mobile devices. You can also browse and send emails using QmailAgent on your TS-431XeU. You can use QmailAgent with Qsirch, which supports searching in .eml files stored on the TS-431XeU, so you can much more easily manage and search a huge amount of emails. |
Enhanced collaboration through cross-platform file sharing and synchronisationThe TS-431XeU centrally stores data, logs, and various files and supports SMB/CIFS, NFS, and AFP protocols for file sharing over Windows, Mac, Linux/UNIX networks. Combined with Qsync (a utility that turns a QNAP NAS into a secure and high-capacity data centre for file synchronisation), any file uploaded to the TS-431XeU will be made available to all related devices, such as computers, laptops, or mobile devices. You can synchronise shared and team folders for group file sharing, greatly enhancing the flexibility of team projects and collaborative work. |

I'm very pleased with this product, the fact that it's rackmountable is a big plus for my rack.
The integrated sfp+ 10GB port is a real plus compared to the competition which is very expensive.
I'm very happy with the product and the way it's delivered to me.
