QNAP recently announced the launch of its latest Rackmount NAS solution, TS-x53BU series that is powered by a 14nm Intel Celeron J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz processor (burst up to 2.3 GHz), up to 8GB dual-channel DDR3L RAM, SATA 6Gb/s, deployment flexibility with 4 Gigabit LAN ports and expandability for M.2 SSD and 10 GbE connections.
The TS-x53BU is available in 4-bay, 8-bay and 12-bay models with single and redundant power supply options and features a standard 1U and 2U form factor, and is ideal for SMBs and workgroups for stable, secure and high-performance storage. This solution can be deployed in virtualization environments and also on hosting virtual machines, which greatly helps businesses to curb their IT server cost.
The new quad-core NAS solution delivers up to 415 MB/s read speed and 416 MB/s read with Intel® AES-NI 256-bit encryption. Additionally, the TS-x53BU-RP provides a redundant power supply to ensure optimal uptime for mission-critical applications.
The TS-x53BU comes with a PCIe slot that allows installing a QNAP QM2 M.2 SSD/10GbE LAN adapter to boost SSD caching performance and to provide 10GbE connectivity (10GbE connectivity varies by model). QNAP’s Qtier auto-tiering technology supports “On Demand Allocation Priority” to prioritise the use of hardware resources and storage allocation. Users can also consider installing a 10GbE/ Gigabit adapter or a USB 3.1 10Gbps adapter for diverse storage applications.
“The TS-x53BU secures data with a complete backup solution while providing high performance and expandability. The PCIe slot satisfies a variety of business demands with functional expansion options including SSD caching or 10GbE connectivity,” said Dan Lin, Product Manager at QNAP.
With QNAP QRM+, users can easily manage and monitor networked Windows, Linux and IPMI-compatible devices through a single platform. The QTS-Linux dual systems TS-x53BU series also allows users to develop or utilize IoT packages for Linux and display them using HDMI output.
