Overview
In the era of big data, there is a wealth of data generated and exchanged by the
billion of devices on the Internet of Everything (IoE) and across hybrid cloud
devices. The rampant data growth requires increasingly exible storage solutions
that will ensure business continuity. QNAP has strived to provide enterprises
and SMBs with the facilities and tools to attain storage services to meet the ever-
growing capacity demand and results in reduced overall operation risks and costs.
Besides managing data growth, another major challenge for an organization is
its ability to keep existing data available and protected in the event of a disaster
or system failure. QNAP’s exible storage solutions incorporate features such as
tiered storage, snapshots, thin provisioning, and LUN backup to better match
specic business requirements and cope with disastrous situations.
QNAP NAS has demonstrated its ability to oer a complete product portfolio that
ts for every SMB and small to medium enterprise, including a wide range of hard

Intelligent Storage Manager - Unied storage management
A converged management platform combining cloud and tiered storage
technology
In addition to existing storage management and backup functions, the new Snapshot and Backup Versioning help
you improve data security while lowering storage expenses. By integrating public cloud storage and backup services,
your QNAP NAS is a converged storage management platform oering on-premise, private, osite, and cloud services.
The QTS Storage Manager neatly presents tools and options for managing system storage with an intuitive graphical interface.
From reviewing the system storage allocation in the Dashboard, to managing volumes, Storage Pools, disks and iSCSI storage,
or even the new Snapshot function, the Storage Manager provides a centralized place to simplify hard drive management and
to maximize storage usage.
Dashboard
The Storage Manager dashboard provides an overview
for IT administrators to easily monitor and manage
storage allocations. QTS 4.2 provides a more secure
and exible way to store and manage data stored on
your NAS. This next generation volume oers powerful
features such as storage pooling with multiple
RAID groups, thin-provisioned volumes with space
reclamation, and online capacity expansion.
In addition to Storage Manager, IT administrators can also check volume status of shared folders with File Station.

Storage management
Volume
IT administrators can monitor HDD allocation status for RAID groups in addition to individual HDD information. This ensures
that there are no idle HDDs, maximizing utilization of the storage resources. IT administrators can aggregate multiple RAID
groups into a single storage pool to flexibly utilize the storage capacity as a whole and protect them using redundancy,
allowing for better protection against multiple disk failures for large-capacity environments. Multiple volumes can now be
created on the Storage Pool to provide exible deployment.
QTS 4.2 supports the creation of multiple volumes within a Storage Pool. View all available storage pools, volumes, and iSCSI
LUNs on the same screen including comprised RAID groups. This enables the expansion or removal of current pools and
volumes, set threshold values for capacity consumption alerts, and RAID group management. Data volumes and LUNs can be
extended without interrupting services.
Efficiently use storage spaces with incremental allocation. Allocate all spaces specified and they cannot be used by other
volumes or LUNs.
• Thin provisioning
Over-allocation enables a server to view more storage
capacity than has been allocated in a storage pool. Further,
the physical storage capacity is used only when files are
written by the application, improving utilization rates.
• Thick provisioning
Physical storage capacity is dedicated during the initial
allocation of the storage volume.
iSCSI (Block based LUN)
• Block-Level iSCSI LUN
Deploy block-level iSCSI LUN as volumes to reduce overhead and improve overall read/write performance.
• File-Level iSCSI LUN
File-level iSCSI LUNs can be used to create a disk image for an iSCSI LUN where storage space is a premium.
QTS 4.2 supports two types of LUNs for ecient storage utilization: block-level and le-level iSCSI LUNs. The Turbo vNAS also
supports multiple types of congurations for server connections:
single LUN or multiple LUNs per iSCSI target.
multiple iSCSI targets for a single LUN, only used for clustered environments
Both block-level and file-level iSCSI LUNs support thin provisioning, space reclamation, and online capacity expansion. We
recommend using block-level iSCSI LUNs unless there is a limitation on space usage.

QNAP high-performance unied and tiered storage solutions
Tiered storage architecture optimizes storage efficiency
Virtual disks provide a flexible way for IT administrators
to expand storage. By using the built-in iSCSI initiator to
connect an iSCSI target of the Turbo NAS, you can create a
virtual disk on the local server. The Turbo NAS can act as a
stack master to connect up to 8 virtual disks or stack targets,
aggregating storage space from multiple NAS systems. NAS
users then only need to connect to a single target to access
the space from all of the network storage devices.
Data used by enterprises continues to grow exponentially and with greater diversity in data types and importance. It is
imperative to oer a secure and ecient storage solution that can process this enormous amount of data while minimizing the
total cost of ownership.
Establishing a tired storage system based on eciency and capacity can aid in improving overall processing eciency.
Enterprises can classify data accordingly by sharing folders with a le-based storage system and processing les that require
more demanding data throughput with a block-based storage system to accommodate dierent usage models.
QNAP Turbo vNAS business series can exibly congure dierent tiers to hard drives on a single unit according to dierent
data usage needs, delivering the best unied and tiered storage solution.
Nowadays, business needs for big data storage keeps increasing. It is crucial that businesses can utilize cost-efficient storage
solutions featuring tiered architecture to tackle Hot Data (frequently-used data) and Cold Data (less-used data) applications with
the exible conguration of storage devices to boost storage eciency.
In order to achieve the goal of tiered storage, the TS-
ECx80U R2 series supports to connect to multiple SAS 12
Gbps expansion enclosures. The SAS 12 Gbps expansion
enclosures can be installed with 15K SAS hard drives or NL-
SAS/SATA hard drive.
As dierent storage devices vary in features, businesses have
to thoroughly assess their storage needs in performance
and capacity to choose the right business hard drives for
maximum cost efficiency. The following illustration shows
the tiered storage architecture.
CIFS (SAMBA)
NFS
Server Message Block (SMB), a version of which is known as Command Internet File System (CIFS), is the default le-sharing
service on QNAP NAS. It is mainly used for sharing les among systems using this protocol, such as Windows and Unix-like
systems and can also be used as a primary domain controller (PDC).
QTS 4.2 supports Network File System (NFS), which allows a server to share directories and les with clients over a network.
With NFS, client computers can mount file systems over a network. Users can access shared files on these file systems as
though they are mounted locally.

Qtier™ Technology
QNAP’s auto-tiering technology, Qtier™, is a multi-tier storage management system. Qtier™ automatically moves the most
active data to the high-performance drives while less active data is migrated to high-capacity drives. This alleviates the burden
on administrators by supporting tasks of performance pre-estimation, layout design, and relocation of data according to
performance and budgets.
Exceptional performance in balancing hot & cold data in large
storage environments
An intelligent auto-tiering solution that provides high exibility in large storage environments by recognizing hot and cold data
while also providing the lowest TCO per gigabyte cost, superior system performance and management eciency.

The goal of the auto-tiering function on the QNAP NAS is to optimize the use of the storage infrastructure by simultaneously improving
storage utilization and performance:
Move frequently used data onto fast disks for
high-availability or high I/O cache throughput
Move less frequently used data onto low-cost,
high-capacity disks for better cost eciency
To achieve the required level of performance and
cost benefits, data is categorized based on access
frequency. Service levels such as response times
or runtime must be measured and evaluated in
advance to decide which data must be stored at a
given time in a certain tier.
Based on the results of B-tree calculation, the NAS
will automatically move data blocks with higher
weights to higher tier (e.g. moving data blocks from
HDD RAID Group to SSD RAID Group). Here data
migration and metadata update will not interfere
with normal IO; therefore, transaction-based B-tree
update will avoid problems with data integrity.
You can get the statistics of all data waiting to
be processed as well as finishing processed
in this phase. If the administrators need to do
administrative tasks or there are bandwidth
requirements for external connections, they can
stop data migration in this phase. Furthermore,
assigning weights can help adjust bandwidth
allocation or alleviate congestion between external
IO and internal data migration.

Historical data assists users in performance tuning and storage
provisioning, enabling accurate adjustment of auto-tiering
policies.
Policy dened auto-tiering enables dynamic reallocation of data
corresponding to the performance requirements of the data or
applications in addition to scheduling and prioritization of data
migration.
Qtier™ fully supports concurrent tiering and SSD caching. In this mode,
Qtier™ constantly monitors I/O activity and keeps active data that requires
small, mostly random, read and write operations in SSD Read-only or Read-
write cache and other data in the tiered storage automatically moving
data between the appropriate tiers. QNAP unied and tiered storage is an
intelligent, automated storage system for managing data placement to help
optimize performance and cost requirements in multi-tier congurations.
Qtier™ Technology is a convenient, economical and insightful way to store
and balance your active (hot) and archived (cold) data. The intelligent
Auto-tiering feature allows you to have your frequently-accessed data on
high-speed SSD in the NAS for quick access and high performance. At the
same time, you still have access to your archived and seldom-used data
on the NAS’s SAS and SATA drives. This provides the versatility of extreme
performance, a large storage capacity and a lower cost per gigabyte to store
and balance your data.

The QNAP Snapshot provides tools in Storage Manager to help
you find specific files to recover. You can easily view files and
folders in a snapshot and browse through dierent snapshots
displayed in chronological order. In addition, le recovery just
takes a few clicks, increasing operational eciency.
Clone a snapshot as a volume or LUN for quick file access,
eliminating long restore times and reserving sizeable space
for storing backups. The files in a snapshot clone can be
freely edited by users.
• The files in a snapshot clone can be
freely edited by users. The Rsync/RTRR functions in Backup Station automatically
detect whether the system supports Snapshots. The RTRR/
Rsync functions take snapshots of the volume before
starting replication and then back up snapshots to a
remote server. This greatly enhances data integrity.
• Rsync/RTRR integration
• Data visibility
Snapshots can be used with iSCSI LUNs and Volumes in QNAP NAS and Expansion Units to achieve full protection. On the

Snapshot Vault is the backup center for storing and managing every snapshot created remotely from another QNAP NAS. It is also
capable of cloning a snapshot (with specied les in a snapshot) as a local volume for data access. comprehensive strategies for data
backup.
To minimize the risk of data breach, the Snapshot Replica provides the option of file encryption. It also provides file
compression and transfer rate adjustment to lower bandwidth consumption.
• Managing snapshots remotely from another NAS
• Replication Settings
Snapshot Agent, used for iSCSI LUN, allows connecting the Turbo NAS with the remote servers (VMware vCenter or Windows
Server) to ensure consistent snapshots. On those remote servers, the running applications (VMware virtual machines, Hyper-V
virtual machines, SQL server, Windows file server…) will write/flush the data from the memory to the iSCSI LUN prior the
snapshot is taken. The application will then be consistent and include all necessary data. In case of snapshot restoration, no
data will be missing.
Snapshot Agent also includes VSS Hardware Provider for Windows to allow taking snapshot on the NAS from the backup
software use on Windows server. The Snapshot process can be ooaded to the NAS and reduce the loading on the server.

QNAP advances in VM network structure, again — The Software Dened
Network
A dedicated VM Ethernet port, taking up a 10 GbE LAN ports is no longer needed. By adopting a Software Dened Network
approach, VMs can now share the network interface with the QNAP NAS to maintain the best data transmission speed without
being limited by hardware resources.

Virtual Switches are an ecient and eective network design when compared to dedicated network ports. Virtual
Switches enable VMs' to share Ethernet interfaces removing the need for a dedicated VM network. Bypassing the need
to transfer data through the physical network equipment also boosts the transfer rate between VMs and the NAS. The
Virtual Switch is capable of 10 GbE and port-trunking, enabling you to obtain a fast and secure network environment.
Virtual Switch
By adopting a Software Dened Network (SDN)
approach, VMs can now share the network
interface with the QNAP NAS to maintain the
best data transmission speed while allowing
users to define their own network mode,
potentially enhancing deployment flexibility
and network security.
The SDN-based architecture consists of an
Application Layer, a Control Layer, and an
Infrastructure Layer. At the Application layer,
the VM orchestrator manages workload
schedules through communication with the
Hypervisor. When the VM Orchestrator receives
a transmission request from the Hypervisor,
the VM Orchestrator will signal the vSwitch
Controller (as the NAS's network control), and
then the vSwitch Controller of the control layer will dynamically adjust the Hi-speed Virtual Switch so that VMs can connect
with the Physical Networks or NAS storage for data communication. By employing a high-performance virtual switch VMs
are no longer conned to the limits of the transmission speed of the physical NICs when transmitting data between VMs, or
between VMs and the NAS.

VM backup and restore
With Virtualization Station, it is eortless to manage multiple virtual
machines on a QNAP NAS. They can be backed up/restored centrally
using an easy-to-use interface, and users can obtain scheduled tasks/
status, and manually start or stop backup tasks. The online backup
tasks run in the background without interrupting VM operations and/
or powering off the system. Furthermore, you can set the schedule
for backup tasks and maximum number of backup copies. When
restoring, the system will automatically start up the restored VM,
simplifying the whole process and reducing system downtime.
Device management
The Device Management screen provides an overview of all VMs,
keeping you informed of the storage capacity, network interface, and
USB devices of the NAS as well as letting you connect or remove a
new device.
Virtual machine import/export
Virtual machines of various formats can be easily imported to and
exported from the Virtualization Station. IT administrators can get
VMs up and running quickly on a QNAP NAS or other Hypervisors.
USB devices (USB Pass-through)
Virtualization Station supports connecting USB devices to virtual machines. Commonly used USB devices such as storage
devices and card readers can be connected to virtual machines, and you can select a specific device using Virtualization
Station. This can be used together with QVM Desk just like a PC. You can also connect USB card readers/scanners to a QNAP
NAS via Virtualization Station and store scanned data directly to the NAS without taking up Internet bandwidth. Further, with
the advent of USB 3.0, higher data transmission can be easily achieved.
Please note that this function is only available on Windows 7 (requires the manual installation of extra drivers), Windows
8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2*, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
QVM supports 4K displays, audio output
QVM in the HybridDesk Station enables the use a VM as a PC simply by connecting an HDMI monitor, keyboard, and a mouse.
QVM oers 4k resolution and virtualized audio output to
support a wide variety of applications. Using a browser
with HTML5 is limited to 1080P without audio. This makes
QVM ideal for video applications.
noVNC is an HTML5-based remote desktop web client
that can communicate with a VM. noVNC does not
support audio transmission. For audio output, use Windows
Remote Desktop or the SPICE Client to connect to the VMs.

Seven advantages of QNAP’s exclusive virtualization technology
• Visibility and direct access to files
Specific file formats cannot be opened directly by the Turbo
NAS, but the Virtualization Station makes it possible. This saves
bandwidth and access time. Administrators can install Windows,
Linux, UNIX, and Android on the Turbo NAS to run any supported
application or le.
• Save bandwidth & time
Downloading a large amount of data to a local PC can take a
long time and use up network bandwidth. When accessing
data on the Turbo NAS through virtual machines on the
Virtualization Station, you can enjoy secure data transmission
and save bandwidth & time as the data is not transmitted via
physical network cables.
• Enhanced security
When accessing files & data on a virtual machine they
are not transmitted outside of the Turbo NAS. This
provides a secure environment that prevents sensitive
data from being intercepted and saves bandwidth and
network resources when accessing large les.
• User-based permissions settings
The Virtualization Station administrator can create users and set granular
permissions for each Virtual Machine (VM), helping to eciently manage and
allocate VM resources for users with dierent needs. With these permissions,
users can work independently on their VM without worrying about their work
being interrupted or data being lost because another user has accidentally
powered-o the VM.
User-based permissions include: Console permissions: Control and
View-only. VM controls: Snapshot and Advanced
• Operate VMs as Remote Desktops
Enjoy the convenience of operating Windows, Linux, and
UNIX-based VMs as remote desktops. A list of buttons is
provided on the left side of each individual VM display,
allowing users to suspend, shutdown, force shutdown, reset,
bring up key combinations: Ctrl +AIt+ Del and function keys,
and take snapshots of the VMs.

QNAP QVM Desk turns a Turbo NAS into an oce PC
• Streamlined installation: No complicated procedures necessary to install your
Turbo NAS
After purchasing a Turbo NAS, users usually install firmware from an installation disc and search for the Turbo NAS on
their network, or log in to the NAS manufacturer's website to complete the installation process. For users without relevant
networking knowledge, this installation process may be dicult. Some users decide to purchase other external storage devices
that can be instantly used (such as USB hard drives). However, these devices are "islands of information" that can only be
accessed by the computer they are connected to. These storage solutions also oer no protection against failure, and are easily
misplaced.
A Turbo NAS is an ideal solution for storing data. With QvPC Technology users only need to plug in a HDMI monitor, keyboard,
mouse and follow on-screen instructions to complete their NAS installation. Even users without any network knowledge can
easily set up and install a Turbo NAS. All les stored on a Turbo NAS are protected with RAID technology and are accessible via
the Internet anytime.
Conventional installation: You need a disc or to log in
to a website to complete the installation, and it can
be complicated for general users.
Streamlined installation: simply plug in a monitor, keyboard
and mouse and follow the on-screen instructions to
complete the installation.

the market now support 4K HD images. The ROI function
is excellent for high definition cameras and enables users
to freely enlarge, adjust, or move the region of interest on
any recording channel. Surveillance Station 5.1 retains ROI
settings for each session so it is ready at the next log in.
Qdewarp and ROI
Virtual camera
Very high-resolution cameras often lose details in playback
display of huge coverage areas, presenting a problem for
surveillance users. Using virtual camera technology, users
are able to focus on defined sub-areas within the area
captured. Virtual cameras do not require additional licenses,
making them ideal for deployment in areas requiring
expansive coverage.
PTZ control (Pan/Tilt/Zoom)
Directly adjust the vertical tilt, left/right panning angles,
and zoom on cameras with compatible PTZ (Pan/Tilt/
Zoom) functions. The “Click Go” PTZ control feature greatly
enhances the convenience of remote surveillance.
The support of digital watermarking assists in verifying the authenticity of exported videos and snapshots by showing the exact recording date & time,
camera name, and QNAP NAS model name, making it essential when videos are needed as verifiable evidence.

surveillance, data archiving, and TV broadcast storage. Featuring a 12 Gbps SAS interface on the chassis, the REXP-1220/1620
ensures fast data passthrough from 12 Gbps SAS-enabled Turbo NAS even when using 6Gbps hard drives.
Simply connect a REXP-x20 expansion enclosure to a Turbo NAS and power it on. The Turbo NAS will detect the hard drives in
the REXP-x20 as newly installed local drives. The Turbo NAS capacity can be expanded seamlessly by using the powerful QTS
Storage Manager.
QNAP 12Gbps SAS JBOD
Expansion Enclosure
With QTS storage management coupled with the scale-up solution, businesses can balance the costs and benefits when
deploying storage systems for big data storage.

the needs of growing business data. With the QNAP scale-up solution, total storage capacity can be gradually expanded on
demand. It is especially useful for large data applications, such as video surveillance, data archiving, and TV broadcast storage
When the disconnection of a RAID expansion enclosure is
detected, the Turbo NAS blocks IO access to protect data. The
system can recover from the missing mode to the normal state
with data staying intact.
The REXP-1620/1220 oers high exibility in hard drive
selection. IT administrators can choose enterprise-
level SAS HDDs with high performance and high
reliability for mission-critical applications, low-cost
but high-capacity SATA HDDs for large data archiving,
or high-speed and high stability SSDs for I/O-intensive
