Scalable storage supporting virtualization, containerized apps, centralized storage, backup, sharing, and disaster recovery.
Comprehensive security management, providing a security portal for your NAS and helping you to stay informed of NAS status at all times.
The TVS-872XU features an 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8100 quad-core 3.6 GHz processor and up to 64 GB DDR4 memory, delivering higher performance to help you accomplish more tasks efficiently. It provides four Gigabit and two 10GbE SFP+ LAN ports, supports SATA 6Gb/s drives, and features AES-NI encryption for delivering high performance while also maintaining the security of your data.
The TVS-872XU supports dual-channel DDR4 memory in four Long-DIMM slots. When using paired memory modules, the TVS-872XU can leverage the power of dual-channel architecture to boost performance. You also customize the memory configuration (supports up to 64 GB RAM) of the TVS-872XU for greater performance to tackle dynamically-changing workloads such as virtualization.
The TVS-872XU features high-quality hardware and expandable architecture, enabling optimum performance and flexibility to fulfill business needs in performance and application diversification.
The TVS-872XU provides two 10GbE SFP+ ports that use the Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx SmartNIC controller. They support the iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol, allowing data to bypass general network drivers, the socket layer, and to directly enter memory buffers of the ESXi server and storage to offload CPU workloads. When both the VMware server and the TVS-872XU support iSER, it can provide up to 60% increased random read/write performance and 50% decreased latency, providing an essential tool to optimize demanding virtualization applications.
The TVS-872XU provides multiple PCIe slots. To ensure that the SATA drives have sufficient bandwidth, it is recommended to only use low-end expansion cards, (such as a 1GbE NIC, USB 3.0 card, or Wi-Fi adapter) 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 acceleration card, and graphics cards), it is recommended to use PCIe Gen3 slots (Slot 2, 3, 4) as these slots are connected to the CPU.
The TVS-872XU features 4 PCIe slots that allow for the usage of various expansion cards to expand application potential.
By enabling Qtier auto-tiering on the TVS-872XU, organizations can just buy the amount of SSDs needed, and attain the highest value/performance and optimal storage efficiency for data storage and sharing.
SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce latency for storage volumes. They are perfect for IOPS-demanding applications (including databases and virtualization) and can significantly improve overall workflows. The TVS-872XU also supports write-only SSD caches to greatly boost write-intensive applications and also RAID 5/6 SSD caches for higher performance and caching space.
Qtier Technology empowers the TVS-872XU with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency by automatically moving data between 2.5-inch SSDs and high-capacity HDDs based on the data's access frequency. Qtier 2.0 features IO-awareness that empowers SSD-tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the advantages of SSDs.
With SSD prices continuing to fall, even small businesses and home users can easily integrate cost-effective SSDs to boost their NAS performance. The TVS-872XU supports software-defined SSD extra over-provisioning (OP) that allows you to allocate additional OP space (from 1% to 60%) to optimize random write speeds and to extend SSD lifespan. Now you can use affordable consumer SSDs for the TVS-872XU, adjust the SSD OP, and potentially attain performance and endurance levels similar to enterprise-grade SSDs to enjoy faster file backups, smoother multimedia experiences, and optimized virtualization applications.
The Network & Virtual Switch 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. Flexible manageability enables you to reorganize physical and virtual network connections with greater ease, so you can allocate adequate network resources to the TVS-872XU, virtual machines and containers whenever needed. The network deployment is greatly simplified while your network management efficiency is greatly improved.
The TVS-872XU provides a reliable, flexible backup & disaster recovery solution to assist organizations in routine backup jobs with cost-efficiency and high productivity.
The TVS-872XU centrally stores data and files, and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX networks. Coupled with Qsync (a utility that turns a QNAP NAS into a safe, high-capacity data center for file synchronization) any file uploaded to the TVS-872XU will be made available for all linked devices, such as computers, laptops and mobile devices. You can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing to enhance the flexibility of team projects and collaboration. Files can be centrally managed using File Station, including files from mobile devices and optical disc drives. File Station also allows you to mount a remote NAS, and transfer files between your NAS and public cloud services for greater convenience.
In open network environments, data on connected devices may be exposed in a potential hack. The TVS-872XU provides numerous security options, such as encrypted access, IP blocking, 2-step verification, and more. Administrators can also control the access rights of each user to different folders, and use the following tools to enhance security management.
QNAP provides several ways to expand your NAS storage as needed to accommodate data and business growth.
