TS-531P

QNAP® Systems, Inc. today announced  the release of the brand new 5-bay TS-531P business NAS. A tower form factor  NAS with an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-314  quad-core 1.4 GHz ARM® Cortex-A15 processor and 2GB/8GB  DDR3 RAM (upgradable to 8GB), the TS-531P features RAID 5/6 support, hardware-accelerated encryption and SSD cache support.  With four Gigabit LAN ports, the TS-531P can deliver up to 418 MB/s read &  write speeds and allows users to install a 10GbE SFP+ or 10GBASE-T network  expansion card to connect to 10GbE networks. The TS-531P also supports Container  Station for LXC and Docker®  lightweight virtualization technologies, offering businesses an ideal cost-efficient   and high-performance NAS solution.

“Business’ demands for IT virtualization have increased dramatically, but  10GbE storage solutions available on the market are still out of reach for most  SMB budgets”, said Jason Hsu, Product Manager of  QNAP, adding “The quad-core TS-531P is energy  efficient, features a full spectrum of business applications, and provides an ideal   storage base and 10GbE readiness for SMBs at budget-friendly prices.”

The TS-531P supports Container Station, allowing users to operate Linux systems  and download various apps from the built-in Docker Hub® Registry. Container  Station allows users to easily manage multiple containers with a flexible user  interface, informative dashboard, permission settings, and container  importing/exporting.  Container Station will also support the Online Document app (currently in development) that allows users to directly  view, edit and store files of various types (office documents, images and text  files) on their TS-531P without the hassle of back-and-forth file transfers.

QNAP provides various apps to improve user workflow and productivity, including Qsirch for quickly finding NAS data with its powerful near real-time full-text  search engine; Qsync that supports centralized configuration and can remotely erase the Qsync  folder to avoid data breaches; and Cloud Drive Sync for synchronizing files between the TS-531P, Google Drive™ and Dropbox®. In addition, the TS-531P's  front-panel USB 3.0 port features  a convenient one-touch-copy function that allows users to quickly back up data  to other external drives.

Businesses can rely  on the scalable TS-531P as a future-proof storage solution. The TS-531P supports online storage capacity  expansion by attaching two QNAP expansion enclosures (8-bay UX-800P and 5-bay UX-500P) allowing the NAS to be scaled to support up to 21  hard drives, making it ideal for  storage-intensive applications such as video surveillance, data archiving or TV  broadcast storage. With the support of QJBOD Express (JBOD enclosure roaming),  users can migrate data from the TS-531P to another NAS using a JBOD enclosure without  needing a network connection, saving considerable time for migrating a large  amount of backup data.
