ZFS-based Qu TS hero operating system enhances NAS performance & data integrity 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. Inline data deduplication, compression, & compaction drives big data storage efficiency 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 973AX optimizes storage utilization to provide a reliable storage cornerstone in the Big Data era. Real-time Snap Sync ensures minimal RPO with real-time disaster recovery 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. The TS-h 973AX also supports snapshots & remote backup to help organizations accomplish routine backup tasks cost-effectively & efficiently. Snapshots multiply backup protection 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. HBS simplifies 3-2-1 backup plans HBS centralizes backup, restoration, & synchronization for easily transferring data in the TS-h 973AX 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. All-in-one virtual machine & container hosting solution 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.
