Overview
10GbE-compatible NAS for ultimate performance
The Intel Xeon E-based TS-1683XU-RP business NAS with up to 64GB of DDR4 ECC (Error Correction Code) memory provides server-class performance with high reliability. It features Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx 10GbE controllers that not only meet the needs of bandwidth-intensive applications but also support iSER to offload CPU workloads with boosted virtualisation performance. Meanwhile, the PCIe expansion allows for the installation of graphics cards to enhance video surveillance, virtualisation and AI applications. The performance-focused TS-1683XU-RP provides you with advanced enterprise features, including additional software-defined SSD over-provisioning, software-defined virtual networking and switching, and more.
- DDR4 ECC memory detects and then corrects single-bit memory errors, demonstrating high reliability for mission-critical applications.
- Two 10GbE SFP+ SmartNIC ports supporting iSER accelerate large file sharing, data intensive transfer, and VMware virtualization applications.
- PCIe expandability enables 40GbE / 25GbE / 10GbE graphics cards or adapters to increase application performance.
- Supports virtualisation under VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server 2016 reliably and cost effectively.
- Software-defined SSD over-provisioning combats over-writing and optimizes random SSD write speeds for IOPS-intensive applications.
- Comprehensive security management, providing a security portal for your NAS and helping you stay constantly informed about the status of your NAS.
ECC memory prevents data corruption to ensure reliabilityThe Intel Xeon E-based TS-1683XU-RP utilizes ECC memory that can detect and correct single-bit memory errors as they occur to prevent downtime and data loss, which is essential for constant and mission-critical server-class applications. The TS-1683XU-RP supports dual channel DDR4 memory in four Long-DIMM slots. When using paired memory modules, the TS-1683XU-RP can leverage the power of the dual-channel architecture to boost performance. You also customize the memory configuration (supports up to 64GB RAM) of the TS-1683XU-RP for superior performance to handle dynamically changing workloads such as virtualization. |

Server Class Hardware: Robust and ScalableThe TS-1683XU-RP includes exceptional hardware and a scalable architecture, providing optimum performance and flexibility to meet the performance and application needs of businesses.
|
Dual 10GbE connectivity optimises high-speed data transfer and VMware virtualisation with iSERThe TS-1683XU-RP offers two 10GbE SFP+ ports that use the Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx SmartNIC controller. They support iSCSI extensions for the RDMA (iSER) protocol, which allows data to bypass major network drivers, the socket layer, and enter directly into the ESXi server and storage buffers to offload workloads. If the VMware server and TS-1683XU-RP support iSER, it can provide up to a 60% improvement in random read/write performance and up to a 50% decrease in latency, making it an essential tool for optimising performance-intensive virtualisation applications. |
 |
 |
Recommended use of PCIe slotsThe TS-1683XU-RP provides multiple PCIe slots. To ensure that SATA drives have sufficient bandwidth, it is recommended that only entry-level expansion cards (such as a 1GbE NIC, USB 3.0 card, or Wi-Fi adapter) be used with the PCIe Gen2 slot (Slot 1, 3, 5) since this slot is connected to the PCH. For high-end expansion cards (including 10GbE/40GbE NICs, SAS cards, Mustang-200 accelerator card, and graphics cards), it is recommended to use the PCIe Gen3 slots (Slot 2, 4) as these slots are connected to the processor. |
High I/O capacity with PCIe expansionThe TS-1683XU-RP includes 5 PCIe slots that allow the use of different expansion cards to increase the potential of applications.

Enhance GPU-accelerated computing with graphics cardsGraphics cards are optimised for graphics transformations and calculations. The TS-1683XU-RP provides PCIe slots to install an AMD Radeon or NVIDIA graphics card to boost data-intensive AI machine learning. In addition, it offers benefits for image processing and virtual machine performance (via GPU passthrough).

SSD cache and automatic tiering allow for 24/7 storage efficiency optimizationBy enabling Qtier auto tiering on the TS-1683XU-RP, organizations simply purchase the required amount of SSDs, and get the highest value/performance and optimal storage efficiency for data storage and sharing. SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce storage volume latency. They are ideal for IOPS-intensive applications such as databases and virtualisation and can dramatically improve overall workflow. The TS-1683XU-RP also supports write-only SSD caches to dramatically boost write-intensive applications and RAID 5/6 SSD caches for superior performance and cache space. Qtier technology enhances the TS-1683XU-RP with automatic tiering that helps continuously optimise storage efficiency by automatically moving data between 2.5-inch SSDs and high-capacity HDDs based on data access frequency. Qtier 2.0 includes I/O recognition that prioritizes SSD storage with reserved space as a cache to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the benefits of SSDs. |

Up to 128 monitoring channels in QVR Pro for complete security controlThe TS-1683XU-RP supports the QVR Pro monitoring solution with 8 free channels for monitoring. It is possible to expand up to 128 channels* with the purchase of additional channel licenses for a more extensive security deployment. QVR Pro supports over 5,000 IP cameras, including all standard fisheye cameras available on the market. There are more advanced features to unlock the full potential of fisheye cameras: allowing simultaneous display of a single fisheye camera image across nine channels at different angles as well as cross-platform hardware-accelerated decoding for fisheye camera images. QVR Pro provides superior surveillance performance for greater security while offering deployment flexibility and budget savings. (*Maximum number of channels supported depends on NAS model, network configuration and camera settings) |
Flexibly allocate physical and virtual network resources to simplify network deploymentThe Virtual Switch and Network application allows you to leverage limited physical network resources for unlimited virtual applications and centrally manage the entire network structure with a brilliantly visualized network topology map. The flexible management capability allows you to more easily rearrange physical and virtual network connections, so you can allocate adequate network resources to the TS-1683XU-RP, virtual machines and containers as needed. Network deployment is greatly simplified while the efficiency of your network management is greatly improved. |

Block-based iSCSI LUN: The ideal choice for virtualization storageThe TS-1683XU-RP supports block-based iSCSI LUNs which provide a more reliable and isolated environment than file-based LUNs. Supporting VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server 2016, the TS-1683XU-RP provides an affordable, reliable and high-performance storage solution for virtualization environments. In addition, it supports VMware, VAAI, and Microsoft ODX to increase performance by offloading the server for ESXi and Hyper-V server respectively, and supports QNAP vSphere plug-in and QNAP SMI-S provider with improved operational efficiency and virtualization application management. |
Complete control over system status and data securityIn open network environments, data on connected devices can be exposed to potential hacking. The TS-1683XU-RP offers numerous security options, such as encrypted access, IP blocking, 2-step verification, and more. Administrators can also control each user's access rights to different folders, and use the following tools to enhance security management. |
