When it comes to data storage in the corporate environment, you also have to deal with the limited space available. QNAPa leading company in the innovation of IT, network and storage solutions, has just presented the new NAS TS-855eU, which thanks to a size reduction equal to 38%, are particularly suitable for all those installations where space is scarce: small wardrobes or confined spaces. Despite the form factor more compact, the QNAP TS-855eU NAS guarantee high performance and complete functionality: in fact, I provide users with a backup and restore all-in-one which supports not only configurations on-premises but also settings cloud ibride to meet the current and future needs of any business reality.
I NAS TS-855eU they are 2U devices with a reduced depth that have a single power supply or redundant power supplies as in the case of the TS-855eU-RP.
Equipped with processor Intel Atom C5125 a 8 core (2.8GHz clock speed) with technology Intel QuickAssistthe new QNAP NAS are capable of supporting up to 64GB of memory (ECC memory supported), integrate eight SATA drive bays, and dual port 2.5GbE.
Features that, taken as a whole, allow you to use the QNAP TS-855eU NAS as file server business, tools for managing and running virtual machinesSaaS backup and virtualization applications.
In terms of connectivitythe two Ethernet ports capable of transferring up to 2.5 Gbps each are useful for maximizing the bandwidth available for data transfers within the corporate infrastructure and, with an adequate connection ultrabroadband to convey data to and from other branches.
Il port trunking in networking refers to a technology used to allow multiple network signals to be carried over a single physical link between network devices: it is often called Ethernet trunking o link aggregation and allows you to combine multiple physical ports into a single logical interface, called “port-channel” o “aggregrate interface“. The advantages are obviously a bandwidth increase overall, increased redundancy, fault tolerance, and improved performance.
Due slot PCIe Gen 3 x4 allow 10GbE/25GbE network cards to be installed on QNAP NAS as well as offer SR-IOV for up to throughput Improved I/O.
The initials SR-IOV stands for Single Root I/O Virtualization and is a virtualization technology used in the networking environment: it allows you to virtualize network interfaces of a physical network adapter into multiple virtual interfaces, known as Virtual Function (VF): multiple virtual machines can use network resources directly, without going through the host operating system. SR-IOV allows virtual machines to access network resources more directly and efficiently, with higher performance and minimized latency.
Due slot M.2 PCIe NVMe offer support for SSD caching or storage Qtier automatically split to further increase the performance of the NAS. L’Qtier storage combines different storage types to optimize storage performance efficiency based on requirements; is based on the idea of using different levels of storage (tier, in fact) to store data efficiently. Active or frequently accessed data is stored on the fastest storage devices; the others are moved, where necessary, to slower storage.
The QNAP TS-855eU series of NAS is certified from VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V for your needs related to virtualization.
