Available in 8- and 10-bay tower models, the TS-ECx80 Pro series features a 3.4GHz Intel® Xeon® Quad-Core Processor and 2GB of DDR3 ECC RAM. It is 10GbE ready. The series supports SSD caching options (including up to two internal mSATA slots) and delivers throughput of up to 2,200 MB/s and 226,000 IOPS to enhance the performance of the most IOPS-intensive applications, such as virtualization and data center deployments. The new series also offers excellent stability with consistent data throughput to handle resource-intensive applications.
The TS-ECx80 Pro series provides businesses with a wide range of options to implement a storage plan tailored to their needs. It supports high-capacity, low-cost SATA hard drives for archiving large datasets or high-speed, high-stability SSDs for I/O-intensive operations.
On the other hand, the REXP-1000 Pro expansion chassis combines the design and high scalability of the TS-ECx80 Pro series to allow IT administrators to expand their total raw storage capacity on demand, up to 250TB (depending on the model) by connecting two REXP-1000 Pro RAID expansion chassis.
The REXP-1000 Pro expansion chassis offers an excellent option for flexibly and cost-effectively expanding the capacity of the TS-ECx80 Pro series and is particularly well-suited for storage-intensive applications such as video surveillance, data archiving, storage of television audiovisual material, and backups of all content on the connected Turbo NAS.
With the new IT Management Station (based on the Mandriva® Pulse platform), the TS-ECx80 Pro series provides an IT systems management solution to simplify daily tasks and IT asset management for businesses of all sizes. The IT Management Station allows companies to centralize the management of multiple operating systems and multiple IT asset sites with numerous business applications, including comprehensive inventory, centralized software deployment and updates, imaging, remote management and support, backup and restore, and more.
The new TS-ECx80 Pro series is a reliable storage solution for server virtualization, supporting VMware® vSphere™ 5.5 and Citrix® XenServer™, as well as Microsoft® Hyper-V™ and Windows Server 2012. Furthermore, compatibility with VMware VAAI, the QNAP vSphere client plug-in, Microsoft ODX, and QNAP's SMI-S provider further enhances operational efficiency in virtualization applications.
The new series offers flexible backup and recovery solutions. Windows and Mac users can easily back up their data using QNAP's NetBak Replicator and Apple's Time Machine, respectively. Disaster recovery solutions include Real-Time Remote Replication (RTRR) for real-time or scheduled data replication and backups to cloud storage such as Amazon® S3, Amazon Glacier, Microsoft® Azure, ElephantDrive®, Symform®, and Google® Drive. Third-party backup software, such as Veeam® Backup & Replication and Acronis® True Image, is also supported, making the TS-ECx80 Pro series a solid foundation for securing your most valuable business data.
Cross-platform file sharing for Windows®, Mac®, and Linux/UNIX users enables centralized storage for small and medium-sized businesses with a large number of users. The Windows AD and LDAP directory service saves administrators significant time and effort in configuring user accounts. The Windows Access Control List (ACL) feature offers sophisticated shared folder permission settings, simplifying IT administration and privilege control.
The QNAP App Center provides over one hundred free applications for backup, content management, communication, and more, created by QNAP and third-party developers. Users can install on-demand applications to enhance the functionality of the TS-ECx80 Pro series models.
