Coupled with its large storage capacity potential, the TS-531P is perfect for companies to store massive data & excels in fast data transmission. High Efficiency with quad LAN support The TS-531P supports multiple port-trunking modes, enabling IT administrators to set up link aggregation to increase total data transmission capability. Failover & dual IP are also supported to ensure continuous system operations. The supported port-trunking modes include: Balance-rr (Round-Robin), Active Backup, Balance XOR, Broadcast, IEEE 802.3ad, Balance-tlb (Adaptive Transmit Load Balancing) & Balance-alb (Adaptive Load Balancing). SSD cache acceleration The TS-531P supports SSD caching which can greatly boost IOPS performance of storage volumes to increase operational efficiency. It is perfect for improving overall workflow of IOPS-demanding applications & allows the best of both cost & performance by combining SSDs with HDDs. Container Station – LXC & Docker Containers inclusive QNAP Container Station exclusively integrates LXC & Docker lightweight virtualization technologies, allowing you to operate multiple isolated Linux systems on the TS-531P as well as download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry. It supports container import/export & permission settings, & features an informative dashboard & flexible user interface for you to manage multiple containers. You can experience the amazing Container Station & enjoy the playground of virtual containers with the TS-531P. Container Station also supports Online Document app*, which means that you can directly view, edit & store files of various types anytime on your NAS, including Office documents, images & text files. Qsirch – A smarter, faster way to search TS-531P with 8GB RAM supports Qsirch*, QNAP's unique, powerful, Google Search-like search tool that helps you find what you need on the NAS. You can quickly & easily find documents, photos, videos, & music. Simply type in as much as you know about what you are trying to find, including parts of the file name or even words/phrases in the document, & Qsirch will display a list of matches – complete with thumbnails – as you type. Qsirch even remembers your search history so you can quickly navigate to files you've previously searched for. Qsirch is a huge productivity boost that greatly reduces the time spent looking for files on the NAS, allowing you to focus on other tasks. QTS
- Simple & efficient Thanks to the intuitive user interface of QTS, your NAS experience is smarter, smoother & spectacular. Its modern flat design streamlines loading times, & the intelligent desktop means that you can find desired functions quickly, create desktop shortcuts or group shortcuts, monitor important system information on a real-time basis, & open multiple application windows to run multiple tasks concurrently, bringing greater operating efficiency. Cross-platform file sharing, centralized data storage The TS-531P supports SMB/CIFS, NFS, & AFP protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, Linux/UNIX networks. Data, logs & ISO images of CDs & DVDs can be centrally stored on the TS-531P & protected by an integrated antivirus solution. The Windows AD & LDAP services enable system administrators to configure user permissions by using an existing Windows AD server, LDAP server or built-in LDAP service. The TS-531P supports SAMBA v 4 & can act as a Windows domain controller to manage privilege settings.
