QTS 4.0 Turbo NAS  operating system   

The new QTS 4.0  integrates multi-window operations into the web-based user interface to  increase management efficiency.

"In an era where  almost everyone has at least  one mobile phone or tablet device, the QTS 4.0 fulfills people’s needs of  mobile data access and synchronization, while providing storage  for large  amount of data with privacy,” said  Jason Hsu, product manager of the QTS 4.0. The  QTS 4.0’s intuitive desktop and multi-window user interface introduce an exceptional NAS management experience.   

App-centric, ultra  home multimedia applications   

The QTS 4.0  provides multipurpose multimedia applications and acts as a media hub at home. Users can  easily collect, manage and  share huge collections of photos, music, and videos with the Photo  Station, Music Station, and Video Station. In addition, users can enjoy high  quality videos stored on the Turbo NAS on a big-screen TV via DLNA, AirPlay,  and HDMI connection.   

The File Station supports photo thumbnails and video transcoding for browsing on different  applications. The Media Library supports auto-indexing for multimedia files to  be searched and browsed easily.   

The potential of QTS 4.0 can be extended by  installing more than 90 apps  found in the QNAP App Center. “The QTS 4.0 is built for users to flexibly use the  inbuilt or install-on-demand apps the way they need,” added Hsu.   

1. TB NAS solution and virtualization-aware storage   

QNAP presented a powerful  400 TB NAS Solution for server virtualization combining its high-end Turbo NAS  TS-x79U series with new additions of the REXP-1200U-RP and REXP-1600U-RP. It  provides a flexible solution for IT administrators to expand the total capacity  of the Turbo NAS up to 400 TB.   

Equipped with various contemporary  business-oriented features including being 10GbE-ready, flexible volume  management, SSD cache, VMware VAAI and vSphere Client plug-in, Microsoft  SCVMM/ODX, and thin-provisioned volume, the Turbo NAS not only effectively  optimizes efficiency and reliability in virtualization applications, but also  serves as a high performance NAS for data backup.   

“The great storage  expansion solution will relieve IT administrators from having to invest big at  initial setup,” said David Tsao, product manager of QNAP’s business product  line. “The solution can largely reduce inflexibility in IT budget allocation  for businesses that do not see rapid growth of storage demand in the near  future, but in some point of time afterward.”
