Continuing the same user experience with the intuitive QTS operating system, QES provides business users with an easy learning curve for quick implementation within IT infrastructures.\n\n Unleashed SSD potential " cost-effective & agile with ultimate performance\n QES 2.1.0 features QNAP&153;s exclusive Write Coalescing algorithm that further optimizes all-flash performance in ZFS, providing a highly cost-effective all-flash solution for enterprise-class data management & mission-critical services.\n\n Deduplication & compression to maximize VDI storage performance\n In VDI environments where there could be over 90% duplicate data from OS images & applications that are spread over virtual desktops, the QES-powered ES1686dc provides businesses with the most cost-effective remote virtual desktop platform & mission-critical information warehousing.\n\n Self-Healing ensures data integrity & reliability\n Designed with a focus on data integrity, a fundamental aspect of storage security & reliability, the QES-based ES1686dc uses its end-to-end checksums to detect & correct silent data corruption caused by hardware defects, bugs in firmware or metadata errors. If integrity violations are detected, QES automatically repairs the damage using data from the other mirror before the data is passed to applications.\n\n Streamlined remote backups with nearly limitless snapshots & Snap Sync\n The ES1686dc supports up to 65, 535 snapshots for i SCSI LUN & shared folders (if 1 snapshot is created every hour, 24 snapshots per day, then up to 7 years worth of snapshots can be created without needing to delete any) & replicates snapshots to remote servers by using the block-level Snap Sync. In the event of a primary site failure, Snap Sync assists businesses to resume essential services in the shortest possible time.\n\n Create VMware/ Windows backups for VSS-Aware applications using QNAP Snapshot Agent\n QNAP Netbak Replicator is easy-to-use & VSS-aware backup software, helping businesses to create complete backups in data centers & virtualization environments without needing additional software. To build a QNAP Snap Agent & VSS Hardware Provider operating environment, all applications (including VSS Service, Requestor, Provider & QNAP Snap Agent) can be deployed with VSS-Aware applications on the same server, & the minimal requirements are only one ES1686dc & one server for it to be operational.\n\n Compatible with VMware, Microsoft & Citrix virtualization, & supports i SER\n The ES1686dc supports VMware&174; v Sphere&174; 6.5, Windows Server&174; 2016, & Citrix Xen Server&174; 7.0 for flexible deployment & management in virtualization environments. It also supports VMware&174; VAAI & Microsoft&174; ODX to increase performance by offloading server loading for ESXi&174; server & Hyper-V&174; respectively. The QNAP v Sphere Client plug-in, Web plug-in & QNAP SMI-S provider are also supported to increase the efficiency of operations & management in virtualization applications. The ES1686dc & VMware&174; ESXi server installed with Mellanox&174; Smart NICs that support i SER can acquire i SER advantages to offload CPU workloads with boosted VMware&174; virtualization performance.\n\n QES is Open Stack Ready to explore out-of-the-box enterprise cloud services\n QES supports Open Stack&174; Cinder & Manila file sharing services. With the QNAP Cinder Driver, the ES1686dc can provide block-level storage space to virtual machines. It not only accelerates the deployment of virtual machines & enhances virtual machine image access efficiency through i SCSI, but it is also easier to integrate into commercial cloud storage platforms, providing businesses with a flexible, easy-to-use, & low-cost storage solution.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Model: ES1686dc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
