Abundant I/O capabilities with PCIe expansion

The TDS-16489U R2 features four PCIe slots (3 x PCIe Gen3 x8, 1 x PCIe Gen3 x16) that allow for the usage of various expansion cards to expand application potential.

40GbE/25GbE/10GbE NICs

Enable lightning-fast throughout for bandwidth-demanding tasks such as virtualization, massive data transmission, and fast backup/restoration. Empower the NAS with iSER support by installing Mellanox® SmartNICs.

Network expansion cards (Mellanox)

Fibre Channel adapters

Create a Fibre Channel SAN for tackling IOPS-demanding applications and workflows that require reliable, on-time data delivery.

Note: Fibre Channel support is available from QTS 4.4.1 (and later), but not supported by QES.

QM2 cards

Add M.2 SATA or NVMe SSDs for caching to optimize NAS performance.

Graphics cards

Accelerate QTS video processing and transcoding, GPGPU computing, and support GPU-passthrough to VMs.

12 Gb/s SAS HBA

Designed for connecting the TDS-16489U R2 to REXP expansion units for up to 1 PB storage capacity.

Built for data-intensive applications and demanding workloads, the TDS-16489U R2 is powered by dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4 multi-core processors, up to 1 TB quad-channel DDR4 2133MHz RDIMM/LRDIMM RAM (Long-DIMM x16), and 12Gb/s SAS drive support to deliver outstanding performance for data transmission and applications. While providing the power to handle CPU-demanding tasks and everyday application needs such as virtualization, video surveillance, and media streaming, the TDS-16489U R2’s unrivaled performance provides the ability for businesses to improve their Big Data computing to explore greater business opportunities.

QES supports block-based data deduplication to reclaim storage used by redundant/repeated data and in-line data compression to shrink file sizes. Both functions optimize storage utilization and provide cost savings for businesses when using SSDs (particularly for all-flash storage deployment). In VDI environments where there could be over 90% duplicate data from OS images and applications that are spread over virtual desktops, deduplicated virtual desktops become easier to be cached to achieve optimal virtual desktop performance.

SnapSync supports VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) that offers enterprise-class remote backup & disaster recovery solution for virtual applications. With the Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) for SRM, operation overheads of the ESXi® server can be offloaded to the QNAP storage array to accelerate and simplify virtual machine backup and restoration.

When running the QES operating system, the TDS-16489U R2 is the perfect backup storage for the dual-controller Enterprise ZFS NAS using SnapSync. If the Enterprise ZFS NAS unexpectedly stops, the TDS-16489U R2 can immediately recover all the backed up data locally to take over operations and services with minimized RTO (Recovery time objectives) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective). It prevents the downtime required to restore data from a remote QTS NAS/rsync server back to the recovered Enterprise ZFS NAS.

QES supports OpenStack® Cinder and Manila file sharing services. With the QNAP Cinder Driver, the TDS-16489U R2 can provide block-level storage space to virtual machines. It not only accelerates the deployment of virtual machines and enhances virtual machine image access efficiency through iSCSI, but it is also easier to integrate into commercial cloud storage platforms.

Common Fibre Channel SAN (Storage Area Networks) devices are often expensive. Now you have more budge-friendly options to easily add your NAS to a SAN environment. Once a Marvell®, ATTO® or QNAP Fibre Channel card has been installed in the TDS-16489U R2, you can set a Fibre Channel Target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app, and leverage the many benefits from QNAP NAS including snapshot protection, Qtier™ tiering storage, SSD cache acceleration and more. In addition, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an additional layer of security for your data.

The TDS-16489U R2 supports VMware®, Citrix®, Microsoft® Hyper-V® and Windows Server® 2016 virtualization applications. VMware® VAAI and Microsoft® ODX are also supported to increase performance by offloading server loading for ESXi server and Hyper-V respectively, and the QNAP vSphere Client plug-in and QNAP SMI-S provider add enhanced operational efficiency and management in virtualization applications.

Attain enterprise-grade SSD performance levels from affordable consumer SSDs

QTS 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 TDS-16489U R2, adjust the SSD OP, and potentially attain performance and endurance levels similar to enterprise-grade SSDs to enjoy faster file backups, optimized virtualization applications, and smoother multimedia workflows.
