Dual 10GbE connectivity optimises high-speed data transfer and VMware virtualisation with iSER


The TVS-2472XU offers two 10GbE SFP+ ports that use a 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 TVS-2472XU 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 slots


The TVS-2472XU 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) as 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, 3, 4) as these slots are connected to the processor.

High I/O capacity with PCIe expansion

The TVS-2472XU includes 4 PCIe slots that allow the use of different expansion cards to increase the potential of applications.
  • 40 GbE / 25 GbE / 10 GbE network card: Enable blazing fast throughput for bandwidth-intensive tasks such as virtualization, large data transmission, and fast backup/recovery.
  • QM2 M.2/10GbE SSD Card: Add M.2 SSD cache or 10GbE connectivity to the NAS for optimized performance and bandwidth.
  • SAS Expansion Card: Designed to connect the TS-1283XU-RP to REXP expansion units to increase storage capacity by adding up to 128 SAS/SATA drives


Enhance GPU-accelerated computing with graphics cards


Graphics cards are optimised for graphics transformations and calculations. The TVS-2472XU 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 caching and automatic tiering enable 24/7 storage efficiency optimisation


By enabling Qtier auto-prioritization on the TVS-2472XU, organizations simply purchase the amount of SSDs needed, 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 TVS-2472XU 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 TVS-2472XU 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 manage burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the benefits of SSDs.


Up to 128 channels of monitoring in QVR Pro, 4K HDMI output and real-time transcoding


The TVS-2472XU has an HDMI 2.0 port that supports 4K (3840 x 2160) output at 60 Hz, allowing you to directly display surveillance video and media files on a monitor or TV via HD Station. Equipped with advanced Intel UHD Graphics 630, the TVS-2472XU provides high-quality 4K (H.264) and 1080p video transcoding, and you can easily convert videos into universal formats that can be played back seamlessly on multiple devices.


Flexibly allocate physical and virtual network resources to simplify network deployment


The 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 TVS-2472XU, virtual machines and containers as needed. Network deployment is greatly simplified while the efficiency of your network management is greatly improved.


Full backup planning


QNAP offers reliable and flexible backup and disaster recovery solutions to help businesses and organizations perform daily data backup tasks for computers, VM and other devices in a highly efficient manner.


Enhanced collaboration with easy file sharing and synchronisation


The TVS-2472XU centrally stores data and files, and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS protocols for file sharing over Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX networks. Combined with Qsync (a utility that turns a QNAP NAS into a secure and high-capacity data centre for file synchronization), any file uploaded to the TVS-2472XU will be made available to all related devices, such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. You can synchronise shared folders and team folders for group file sharing to improve the flexibility of team projects and collaborative work. Files can be managed centrally using File Station, including files from mobile devices and optical disk drives. In addition, File Station allows you to mount a remote NAS, and transfer files between your NAS and public cloud services for added convenience.


All-in-One Server to Host Virtual Machines and Containers


Virtualization Station allows you to host virtual machines (VMs) on the TVS-2472XU and access them via web browser or VNC. Virtualization Station supports multiple operating systems, fast VM creation, VM backup/restore, VM import/export, snapshots and Device Management. This allows you to centrally manage your VMs. Virtualization Station also allows the TVS-2472XU, VMs and containers to share the same network port. No more performance constraints on physical networks. High-speed virtual switches significantly speed up data transfer between VMs, containers, and the NAS through the internal interface. The TVS-2472XU also features Container Station which integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies. You can run multiple isolated Linux systems on the TVS-2472XU and also download applications via the built-in Docker Hub Registry. Container Station also supports the QIoT Containers platform, which will help you quickly structure your IoT environment and deploy to your private IoT cloud.


Complete control over system status and data security


In open network environments, data on connected devices can be exposed to potential hacking. The TVS-2472XU 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.


More productivity applications


The application-based QTS operating system provides solutions to simplify file backup, management, search, and more. With File Station, you can view and manage your files not only from the NAS but also from different storage devices;OCR Converter allows you to extract text from images; Qfiling helps automate file organization; and Qsirch allows you to quickly find files.
