QNAP^® Systems,   Inc. today announced the release of the business-class TS-x70 series Turbo NAS.  Available in 4, 6 and 8-bay tower models; the TS-x70 series with scale-up  support is the perfect solution for the growing data needs of modern business  environments.   

Businesses are constantly seeking extra storage space to keep up with the demands of today’s IT environments. The TS-x70 series’ high-scalability  design supports online capacity expansion by connecting multiple QNAP RAID  expansion enclosures (REXP-1200U-RP / REXP-1600U-RP) to expand total storage to  100TB raw capacity. With this flexibility, businesses can expand their storage as  needed and have more control over their storage deployment.   

Powered by a Dual-Core  Intel^® 2.6 GHz Processor and 2GB DDR3 RAM with the availability of four Gigabit LAN ports, the TS-x70 offers business users an ultra  high-performance NAS solution for day-to-day operations. Jason Hsu, product manager  of QNAP, states "QNAP’s internal testing shows  that the reading speed is up to 450MB/s and writing speed up to 423MB/s in  typical Windows environments in network trunking mode." In addition, the TS-x70 series  supports 10GbE high-speed networking making  it an ideal solution for applications such as real-time HD video editing and data center  environments.   

Even with this high scalability and performance, administrating  the TS-x70 series is effortless with QNAP’s QTS 4.0 operating system. With an intuitive  user interface, IT administrators can easily find desired functions, monitor  system information and run multiple tasks simultaneously. In  addition, the QTS 4.0 offers a full range of applications for business use, including  file management, sharing, backup, multimedia applications and more.

The support of VMware VAAI, QNAP vSphere Client plug-in further enhances  the efficiency  of operations & management in virtualization applications.   

The TS-x70 series also provides businesses with flexible backup  solutions. Windows and Mac users can use the QNAP NetBak Replicator and Apple  Time Machine respectively to easily back up their data. The series also supports  disaster recovery solutions including Real-time Remote Replication (RTRR) for  real-time or scheduled data replication backup to cloud storage  including Amazon^® S3, ElephantDrive^®, Symform^® , Dropbox^®, and Google^® Drive and third-party backup software  such as Veeam^® Backup & Replication and Acronis^® True  Image.
