High-speed 10 Gb E network environment Powered by Annapurna Labs AL-214 quad-core 1.7 GHz processor with 2 GB DDR3L RAM (single memory slot, expandable to 8 GB), the TS-431KX features one 10 Gb E SFP+ port & two Gigabit ports for high-speed data transfer. Coupled with QNAP QSW series network switch, you can easily upgrade your network environment to 10 Gb E affordably to enjoy streamlined workflow. Easily Create a High-speed Network Environment 10 Gb E improves overall network performance & everyday tasks with ten times the bandwidth of 1 Gb E. From 10 Gb E NAS, to switches, to network adapters, QNAP provides a complete range of everything needed to upgrade to 10 Gb E environments. Multi-point file backup, access & sync HBS (Hybrid Backup Sync) consolidates data backup, recovery, & data synchronization, integrated with the TS-431KX high-speed 10 Gb E connectivity, you can easily backup or sync data to another QNAP NAS, remote server or cloud storage to build a reliable disaster recovery solution. Qsync turns the TS-431KX into a secure, high-capacity data center for file synchronization. Any file uploaded to the TS-431KX will be made available for all linked devices, such as computers, laptops, & mobile devices. You can also sync shared folders or create team folders to enhance team collaboration. Boost productivity with QNAP applications QNAP File Station provides centralized file management allowing you to view & manage files on your TS-431KX & other storage or devices (such as USB (Universal Serial Bus) storages or mobile devices). Qfiling can help you automate file organization, while Qsirch can accelerate file searches. You can also use the Qfile mobile app to access NAS files from a mobile device. Protects your sensitive data with file encryption When sharing sensitive or confidential files on your TS-431KX, you can enhance data security by using File Station to encrypt them into. qenc files & set a password. The file recipients need to download & install QENC Decrypter on their computers & enter the password to decrypt, view & use encrypted. qenc files. Protect data against malware with Snapshots Snapshots help protect your data by fully recording the NAS system state & metadata. If a file is accidentally deleted or modified, you can use snapshots from the Storage & Snapshots Manager or the File Station to quickly restore files to its previously-recorded state. QNAP snapshots are block-based & only record modified data. Not only does this save storage space, but it also reduces the time required to back up & restore data. The TS-431KX supports up to 32 snapshots per volume or LUN, & up to 64 snapshots in total. Take full control of NAS system status & data security Notification Center consolidates all QTS system events & alerts, providing you with a single-app solution for notifications. Security Counselor can evaluate & recommend TS-431KX security settings to improve NAS security. Comprehensive surveillance solution for 24/7 security Surveillance Station features a user-friendly interface, supports over 3, 000 compatible IP cameras, & provides expandable IP camera channel licenses, allowing you to build a comprehensive surveillance system for real-time monitoring, video & audio recording & playback. You can use the Vmobile app on your mobile devices to manage the monitored channels anytime anywhere. You can also use the QUSBCam 2 App to add USB (Universal Serial Bus) cameras into the Surveillance Station to view real-time images, store recordings for playback, enabling you to build a surveillance system economically. Host container applications Container Station integrates both LXC & Docker lightweight virtualization technologies. You can download apps from the built-in Docker Hub, easily import or export container apps, manage access controls & rapidly deploy application services across several platforms including the cloud, servers, & PCs. Flexible & economical storage expansion QNAP provides easy storage capacity expansion solutions. Here are several ways to expand your NAS storage to accommodate data & business growth: Upgrade RAID Capacity Hot-swap lower-capacity drives with larger-capacity drives to expand your QNAP NAS capacity so it can grow with your business. Attach Expansion Enclosures Connect 2 RAID expansion enclosures (TR-004 or TR-002) or 2 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.2 Gen 2 JBOD (TL-D800C) & use the QTS Storage & Snapshots Manager to easily handle NAS capacity expansion. Migrate to a New NAS Install your NAS hard drives into a larger QNAP NAS & retain all your existing data & configurations.
