Well built and fast NAS
I'm used to QNAP NAS, this one has the advantage of being compatible with the ZFS format, being short in depth, being quiet enough for a bay in audiovisual production. Nothing to say for a month, top quality.
The QNAP TS-873AeU-4G 2U Shallow Rackmount NAS features 8 x 2.5"/3.5" bays, 2 x M.2 slots for SSD caching and two x 2.5 GbE LAN controllers. It features an AMD Ryzen V1500B processor (4-core/8-threaded) which is capable of boosting the performance of virtual machines.
8-bay professional NAS server - 4 GB DDR4 RAM - AMD Ryzen V1500B - 2.5 GbE LAN (without hard drive)
The QNAP TS-873AeU-4G 2U shallow rackmount NAS offers 8 2.5"/3.5" bays, 2 M.2 slots for SSD caching and two 2.5 GbE LAN controllers. It features an AMD Ryzen V1500B processor (4 cores/8 threads) which is able to boost the performance of virtual machines. It is also scalable with up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory and offers a PCIe 3.0 8x slot for adding functionality via an expansion card.
Hard drives are the heart of your NAS and ensuring their integrity and long-term reliability is absolutely crucial. QNAP provides various tools and methods to help you monitor the integrity of hard drives, which allows you to make proactive decisions to protect your data and files.
The TS-873AeU features a PCIe Gen3 x8 slot that allows the installation of various expansion cards to tailor the usage of the NAS according to the business needs. Whether it's adding expansion units with a SAS card, increasing bandwidth with a 40GbE card, or adding SSDs for increased cache and performance.
The iSER (iSCSI Extensions for RDMA) protocol boosts VMware ESXi storage data transfer performance and reduces ESXi server CPU load. iSER support can be added to the TS-873AeU by installing a QNAP PCIe 10GbE QXG-10G2SF-CX4 card that uses the Mellanox ConnectX-4 controller. iSER can provide a significant increase in performance, offering an essential tool for optimizing demanding virtualization applications.
QVR Elite is QNAP's subscription-based intelligent monitoring solution that allows you to easily deploy a monitoring system with lower total cost of ownership and superior scalability. Recordings are saved as MP4 files, allowing them to be played back on virtually any device. In addition, QVR Elite integrates QNAP's AI solutions to establish intelligent facial recognition for retail and door access systems with QNAP NAS. You can organize a dedicated and independent storage space for surveillance data on the TS-464eU and enjoy simplified camera management, storage allocation, live camera viewing, and playback.
