QNAP® Systems, Inc. (QNAP), a leading computing, networking and storage solution innovator, will join COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2024 (Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1, Booth No. J0628) to demonstrate comprehensive IT solutions, including AI-powered file management and surveillance, High-Availability solutions, myQNAPcloud One cloud storage, 25GbE solutions and Thunderbolt™ 4 NAS for video editing, manufacturing execution system (MES) solutions, and much more.

"As we navigate the increasing complexities of managing exponential data growth across diverse industries, QNAP remains steadfast in its dedication to cutting-edge data management and protection,” stated Meiji Chang, Chairman of QNAP, adding “By integrating edge, network, and cloud technologies with advanced management platforms, we demonstrate our unwavering commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions that prioritize reliability and effectiveness."

Integration of AI: smart surveillance, visual analysis, and semantic search

QNAP has streamlined video surveillance management with enhancements to QVR Pro Client. Now, users can efficiently manage QVR Face facial recognition and QVR Human people counting applications through a single, layout-flexible portal. This portal accommodates all surveillance needs across single or multiple monitors, including generic 16:9 displays and 32:9 ultra-wide screens.

Besides QuMagie smart photo management that automatically categorizes albums by people, things, and places thanks to AI-powered image recognition, QNAP has also pioneered AI semantic search technology for images. Instead of looking for exact keyword matches, Qsirch semantic search enables users to save time by finding images with a more intuitive and precise image search.

Maintaining high availability (HA) for business success

In today's fast-paced business environments, ensuring high availability is crucial for sustaining uninterrupted operations and driving business success. QNAP will showcase comprehensive HA solutions designed to enhance availability across various aspects of IT infrastructure: switch redundancy with MC-LAG, enabling seamless failover in case of hardware failures or network disruptions; virtual machine (VM) high availability for minimizing workload downtime; surveillance failover that guarantees uninterrupted monitoring and recording; high-availability storage cluster with QNAP NAS. QNAP’s QuCPE network virtualization premise equipment also system-level high-availability to achieve minimal downtime for service availability.

Centralized cloud management platform, and QNAP hosted “myQNAPcloud One”

Managing remote devices at scale has always been a challenge for modern IT. AMIZcloud, a cloud management platform for QNAP devices, offers advanced management capabilities that allow for centralized, self-service device management, all from a single interface. Besides remote management of QNAP NAS units for system status, resource utilization, firmware update, and app installation, AMIZcloud will add support for remote management of QNAP network switches for optimal resource and service management efficiency.

QNAP “myQNAPcloud One” offers a secure and reliable cloud infrastructure with immutability, and is designed to reinforce users’ hybrid backup plans from on-prem QNAP NAS to QNAP’s cloud amid the threat of cyber-attacks. myQNAPcloud One contains a range of solutions to protect various types of data and keep them available at all times, including myQNAPcloud Storage, myQNAPcloud Surveillance, and myQNAPcloud Object – assisting professionals and businesses in streamlining backup of NAS data, surveillance footage, and unstructured object data to dedicated cloud storage for double protection.

QNAP NAS optimizes manufacturing execution system (MES)

In a groundbreaking move towards streamlined manufacturing processes, QNAP NAS introduces cutting-edge solutions to optimize MES. With a focus on enhancing efficiency and security, QNAP NAS integrates seamlessly into factory environments, offering comprehensive features such as real-time factory monitoring, process image access, production records management, and secure surveillance footage backup. Leveraging data lifecycle management and retention, coupled with robust data protection to combat ransomware threats, QNAP NAS sets a new standard in MES optimization, empowering industries with unparalleled productivity and resilience.

25GbE solutions and Thunderbolt 4 NAS for video editing and collaboration

QNAP’s state-of-the-art 25GbE solutions and Thunderbolt 4 NAS revolutionize video editing and collaboration workflows. Visitors can discover the TBS-h574TX Thunderbolt 4 all-flash NASbook, 25GbE-optimized TS-h1277AFX NAS, and also witness the debut showcase of new USB 4 to 10GbE adapters and USB 4 JBOD units that further expand connectivity options for professionals seeking unparalleled performance and efficiency in their workflows.

Air gap backups and centralized management of cross-site NAS backup

Now businesses are encouraged to extend backup security by implementing 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule, where air gap backup is required to shield backup data from potential cyber threats. QNAP introduces its Airgap+ air-gap backup solution by using QHora-321/QHora-322 products in conjunction with Hybrid Backup Sync tasks of QNAP NAS. This configuration guarantees superior enterprise data protection by generating offline backups, thereby providing unmatched resilience against cyberattacks.

Addressing the complexity of handling numerous NAS backup tasks, QNAP also introduces the Hybrid Backup Center – a centralized platform that effectively manages extensive cross-site NAS backup operations orchestrated by Hybrid Backup Sync. Enhanced with a user-friendly topology widget, it simplifies the management of diverse backup scenarios with remarkable efficiency.
