QNAP offers 2.5GbE switches that support Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T and allows you to use existing Cat 5e cables to connect multiple computers and NAS for implementation of high-speed, secure, and scalable network environments without going over budget.

Supports QuTS hero

The TS-673A also supports QuTS hero, QNAP's ZFS-based NAS operating system. Providing end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline data deduplication, compression and compaction), and more, QuTS hero uses additional system resources to ensure an optimal environment for protecting business data.

Please note, QTS and QuTS hero use different file systems. You must remove all the drives from the TS-673A before switching from QTS to QuTS hero. QuTS hero requires a NAS with at least 8GB of memory, and inline Data Deduplication requires a NAS with at least 16GB memory. For optimal performance, 32GB memory is recommended. It is recommended to create an SSD RAID with at least two SSDs for the QuTS hero system drive to attain optimal system performance. Please note that M.2 SSD hot-swapping is only supported by M.2 SSD slots on PCIe cards (such as the QM2). M.2 SSD slots that are built into the NAS do not support hot-swapping.

SSD Caching

SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce latency for storage volumes. They are perfect for IOPS-demanding applications including databases and virtualization and can significantly improve overall workflows.

Qtier Technology

Qtier Technology empowers the TS-673A with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency by automatically moving data between M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity HDDs based on the data's access frequency. 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, maximizing the advantages of SSDs.

Easy and Secure File Management

File Station allows direct management of files stored on the TS-673A and in the cloud. Users can easily upload files from their PC, drag and drop files between folders, rename and delete files, and configure file or folder permissions to prevent unauthorized access. Microsoft Office Online can also be used to directly view or edit Microsoft Office documents stored on the TS-673A. Confidential and sensitive data can be encrypted to add extra security.

Supports GPU-Accelerated Computing

In Active-Active storage system architecture, both controllers can provide a comprehensive range of services, which is different from the Active-Standby architecture of single-controller systems. An advantage of Active-Active architecture is the lack of idle computing resources. To leverage the strengths of the ES2486dc Active-Active controller architecture, QNAP recommends creating multiple storage pools and distributing ownership between both controllers to enable simultaneous output from both controllers for improved load balancing.
Powered by Intel® Xeon® D-2142IT 8 cores/16 threads processors, the ES2486dc delivers massive computing power to maximize inline data deduplication and inline compaction performance. The dual active-active controller architecture provides failover/failback operations since the standby controller can quickly take over if one controller breaks down. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans also provide businesses with near-zero downtime and high availability. The ES2486dc connects to the JBOD enclosure (EJ1600 v2) through dual-path mini-SAS design and can sustain continuous operations even if a JBOD cable is disconnected.
