Supporting up to 128 GB RAM to cope with higher workloads, the TS-h 686 provides a high-performance & reliable NAS solution for demanding business IT environments.\n\n Set SSD caching to boost IOPS with M.2 NVMe SSD\n While SSD prices continue to fall, & SSD capacity & performance continue to increase, organizations can easily take advantage of SSD strengths. The TS-h 686 comes with two 2.5-inch SSD drive bays & two M.2 NVMe Gen 3 x 4 SSD slots that allow you to flexibly configure SSD caching to increase IOPS performance & reduce storage volume latency. This is especially perfect for databases & virtual machine applications. Without occupying any 3.5-inch drive bays, the TS-h 686 means that you can maximize both your storage capacity & performance.\n\n Quad-port 2.5 Gb E meets today&153;s high-bandwidth demands\n Featuring four native 2.5 Gb E RJ45 LAN ports (backwards compatible with 1G/100M), the TS-h 686 means that you can use existing CAT5e cables to upgrade network speeds from 1 Gigabit to 2.5 Gigabit. The support of Port Trunking & failover further satisfies bandwidth & reliability demanding applications including virtualization, large file transfers, high-speed backup/restoration, & any real-time application. QNAP also offers numerous options of managed & unmanaged 10 Gb E/2.5 Gb E switches, assisting organizations in implementing high-speed, secure & scalable network environments without going over budget.\n\n ZFS-based Qu TS hero operating system enhances NAS performance & data integrity\n Qu TS hero combines the app-based QTS with the 128-bit ZFS file system to provide flexible storage management, comprehensive data protection, & optimized performance to tackle the complexity & performance demands of modern IT. From storage management, virtualization, to collaborative media workflows, Qu TS hero streamlines your business-critical tasks.\n\n Tiered storage configuration for a Qu TS hero NAS\n Follow these steps to acquire optimal storage efficiency & performance for Qu TS hero.\n\n Step 1: System Drive\n The first Storage Pool you create is the system drive. Using an SSD RAID with at least two SSDs for the system drive is recommended.\n\n Step 2: Read Cache & ZIL\n Use more SSDs for read cache or ZIL. You can also install QM2 expansion cards to add M.2 SSDs for expanding cache space.\n\n Step 3: Data Storage\n Allocate HDDs/SSDs to create a RAID for storing files & application data. If needed, you can configure an all-flash configuration for optimal performance.\n\n Inline data deduplication, compression, & compaction drives big data storage efficiency\n Qu TS hero supports advanced block-based data reduction technologies (including inline data deduplication, compression, & compaction) to reduce file sizes, conserve storage capacity, & optimize performance. For example, if 20 virtual machines on a NAS are replicated using the same template, then storage space requirements for all 20 virtual machines can be reduced by up to 95%. Whether acting as primary or backup storage, the TS-h 686 optimizes storage utilization to provide a reliable storage cornerstone in the Big Data era.\n\n Real-time Snap Sync ensures minimal RPO with real-time disaster recovery\n Real-time Snap Sync ensures that both the primary & secondary NAS maintain identical data. When data is written to the source, it is immediately written to the destination. If the primary NAS goes offline, IT staff can simply adjust the privilege settings of the secondary NAS to ensure continuous operations. Snap Sync provides the strongest support for nonstop business operations & helps users to reduce the risk of data loss.\n\n Snapshots multiply backup protection\n Attain peace of mind with near-limitless, instant snapshots. Copy-on-write technology makes snapshot creation almost instantaneous without affecting ongoing data writing. Snapshot Replica replicates snapshot files to the backup NAS, simplifying data protection with version control.\n\n HBS simplifies 3-2-1 backup plans\n HBS centralizes backup, restoration, & synchronization for easily transferring data in the TS-h 686 to another QNAP NAS, remote server, or cloud storage space. HBS supports Qu Dedup technology that eliminates redundant data at the source & makes multi-version backup faster.\n\n All-in-one virtual machine & container hosting solution\n You can count on Virtualization Station & Container Station for comprehensive virtualization support. Coupled with the Network & Virtual Switch app that boosts interoperability between virtual machines, containers, QNAP NAS, & other physical devices on the network, you can flexibly allocate physical & virtual network resources to simplify network deployment.\n\n PCIe expansion for upgrading 10 Gb E transmission or enabling GPGPU computing\n The TS-h 686 features two PCIe Gen 3 x 8 slots (each slot provides up to 64 Gb/s bandwidth) & supports installing expansion cards to enable additional functions & greater application potential.\n\n Move business data to the cloud & enjoy low latency access to cloud-based data\n The TS-h 686 perfectly integrates NAS with mainstream cloud services. By deploying cloud storage gateways & enabling local caching on the TS-h 686 using M.2 SSD slots (M.2 SSDs purchased separately), organizations can seamlessly use the cloud for storage, backup, & data recovery with low-latency access. This greatly helps in realizing cost-effective, flexible & secure hybrid cloud applications.\n\n Switch operating systems to upgrade current storage\n The TS-h 686 can also switch to using QTS
- QNAP&153;s standard NAS operating system. This means that you can migrate drives from your current QTS-based NAS to the more powerful TS-h 686 to upgrade your storage infrastructure.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Model: TS-H686-D1602-8G\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
