Build a Faster Network with QNAP Powered by an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor (burst up to 2.70 GHz), DDR4 dual-channel RAM (up to 8GB), two 2.5 Gb E Gigabit LAN ports, the TS-453DU-RP provides smoother multimedia playback & everyday NAS usage. Additional high-speed network options from QNAP include USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.2 Gen 1 to 2.5 Gb E/5 Gb E adapters (supports N-BASET/ Multi-Gig), QXG 5 Gb E/10 Gb E PCIe cards, & QNAP QSW 10 Gb E switches. All these options allow users to revolutionize their network at a cost-effective price. Extend NAS Functionality with a PCIe Card With a PCIe Gen 2.0 x 2 slot, the TS-453DU-RP provides flexibility in extending NAS functionality & potential applications. To optimize system performance, install a QNAP QM2 card to add M.2 SATA or NVMe SSD caching/10 Gb E connectivity & use with Qtier tiered storage for optimal system performance. Wireless connectivity can be added by installing a QNAP QWA-AC2600. A QXG-10 Gb E/5 Gb E network card adds extra high-speed network ports. Alternatively, you can add an affordable QNAP QNA-UC5G1T USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.2 Gen 1 to 5 Gb E adapter to enjoy higher network speeds or boost the USB (Universal Serial Bus) connectivity by installing a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) card. SSD Caching & Auto Tiering for Optimized Storage Efficiency The TS-453DU-RP supports SSD caching to improve the workflow of random IOPS demanding applications such as virtualization. Qtier Technology empowers the TS-453DU-RP with auto tiering that continuously optimizes storage utilization across high-performance SSD & high-capacity SATA drives. Qtier 2.0 features IO-awareness that empowers SSD tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly Easy & Secure File Management File Station centralizes files stored on your TS-453DU-RP & in the cloud. You can easily upload files from your computer, drag & drop files between folders, rename files, delete files, & configure file & folder permissions to prevent unauthorized access. With Microsoft Office Online you can directly open & modify Microsoft Office documents stored on the TS-453DU-RP without having to download them to your local device. When sharing sensitive/confidential files on the TS-453DU-RP, use File Station to encrypt files into. qenc files, set a password, & use QENC Decrypter to decrypt the file. Multi-Point File Backup, Access, & Sync The TS-453DU-RP supports common file sharing protocols (including SMB/CIFS, AFP & NFS) for Windows, Mac, & Linux/UNIX devices. Coupled with Qsync (a utility that transforms a QNAP NAS into a secure, high-capacity data center for file synchronization) any file uploaded to the TS-453DU-RP becomes available for all linked devices, such as computers, laptops, & mobile devices. Hybrid Backup Sync helps you easily backup or synchronize data on the TS-453DU-RP to another QNAP NAS, remote server, or cloud storage for disaster recovery. in addition, Qu Dedup technology greatly improves the efficiency & storage utilization of multi-version backup by deduplicating the backup data. You can install the Qu Dedup Extract Tool on your computer & restore deduplicated files to their normal status. Protect Important Data with Snapshots Snapshots fully record the NAS system state & metadata & can be used to quickly restore files to previously-recorded states if they are accidentally deleted/modified or if the system is compromised by ransomware. QNAP snapshots are block-based & only record modified data. Not only does this save storage space, but also reduces the time required to back up & restore data. Stay Notified of System Status & Security Notification Center consolidates all QTS system events & alerts, providing you with a single-app solution for notifications. Security Counselor evaluates & recommends settings to improve NAS security. Low-latency Access to Cloud-based Data The TS-453DU-RP can be integrated with mainstream cloud services. By deploying cloud storage gateways & enabling local caching on the TS-453DU-RP, you can seamlessly use the cloud for storage, backup, & data recovery with low-latency access, providing an innovative hybrid cloud solution. Hybrid Mount File-based Cloud Gateway Flexibly expand your storage capacity by connecting to cloud storage. You can leverage QTS apps to manage & edit cloud-based files or monitor multimedia files. Hybrid Mount is ideal for file server online collaboration & file-level data analysis. VJBOD Cloud Block-based Cloud Gateway Mount object cloud storage as a block-based volume or LUN on a NAS. Block-based data transmission uploads random data & large files to the cloud in blocks, & only block-based volume or LUN changes (such as addition, modification, or deletion) will be transmitted. This is ideal for enterprise-level applications with large file transfer requirements (such as databases, VM volumes, & videos). Next-generation Surveillance Solution QVR Pro means that you can establish dedicated, independent storage space for surveillance data on a TS-453DU-RP & leverage the advantages of scalability & storage manageability of QTS. With QVR Pro, camera management, storage space allocation, camera live view & playback is greatly simplified, & the QVR Pro Client mobile app allows for universal monitoring of surveillance feeds. NAS as a Multi-OS Platform Virtualization Station & Container Station provide comprehensive solutions for creating virtualized environments to improve business IT infrastructure, workflows, & productivity. Virtualization Station Virtualization Station means that you can run multiple Windows, Linux, UNIX & Android virtual machines on the TS-453DU-RP. You can use Virtual Network Computing (VNC) through a browser to operate virtual machines. Virtualization Station is ideal for organizations to run multiple applications on a single NAS. Container Station Container Station integrates LXC & Docker lightweight virtualization technologies. Download apps from the built-in Docker Hub to easily import/export container apps & manage access controls to enjoy the benefits of easy installation, transferability & high-efficiency. High-speed 2.5 Gb E VM Backup Solution With Hyper Data Protector, the TS-453DU-RP becomes an agentless backup tool for unlimited VMware v Sphere & Microsoft Hyper-V VM backup. Hyper Data Protector features incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling & recovery compression. With 2.5 Gb E connectivity, backup & restoration times are greatly reduced, providing a cost-effective solution for disaster recovery. Flexible & economical storage expansion QNAP provides easy storage capacity expansion solutions. Here are several ways to expand the TS-453DU-RP storage to accommodate data growth: Upgrade RAID Capacity Hot-swap lower-capacity drives with larger-capacity drives to expand the TS-453DU-RP. Attach Expansion Enclosures Connect two expansion enclosures (TR-004U) or one USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.2 Gen 2 JBOD (TL-R1200C-RP) & use the Storage & Snapshots Manager to 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
