After purchasing a NAS, users usually install firmware from an installation disc and search for the NAS on
their network, or log into the NAS manufacturer's website to complete the installation process. For users
without relevant networking knowledge, this installation process may be diffcult. Some users decide to
purchase other external storage devices that can be instantly access (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 have no protection against failure, and can be easily lost.
QNAP Turbo vNAS 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.

Disk information
QTS 4.1.2 allows creating multiple
volumes on the Storage Pool for
various applications in typical business
environments with different workgroups.
Each data volume and LUN can
be extended up to 250TB without
interrupting services.
Click to check disk information and disk
health, scan the disk, locate the disk, or

Efciently use storage spaces with incremental allocation. Allocate all spaces specied and they cannot be used by
other volumes or LUNs.
Thin provisioning
Over-allocation allows a server to view more
storage capacity than has been allocated in the
storage pool. Furthermore, physical storage
capacity is used only when files are written by
the application, thereby improving utilization
rates.
Thick provisioning
Physical storage capacity is dedicated upfront when the
storage volume is initially allocated.
Storage Pool
IT administrators can aggregate multiple
RAID groups as a big storage pool to
flexibly utilize the storage capacity as a
whole, protect them using redundancy
and allowing for better protection against
multiple disk failures for large-capacity
environments. Multiple volumes can now
be created on the Storage Pool to provide
flexible deployment.

￭ iSCSI LUN
Block-Level iSCSI LUN
Besides storing data, volumes can be utilized as an iSCSI LUN. The block-level iSCSI LUN provides less overhead
which improves the overall read/write performance.
File-Level iSCSI LUN
Users can consider file-level iSCSI LUN if there isn´t enough space for block-level iSCSI LUN. The file-level iSCSI
LUN can be used for creating a disk image for an iSCSI LUN.
￭ Virtual Disk Drive - Increase flexibility of storage expansion
QTS 4.1.2 supports two types of LUN for efcient storage utilization: block-level and le-level iSCSI LUN. The
TVS-x63+ series 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 LUN support thin provisioning, space reclaim, and online capacity
expansion. We recommend using block-level iSCSI LUN unless there is a limitation on space usage.
Virtual Disks provide a more exible way
for IT administrators to expand storage.
By using the built-in iSCSI initiator to
connect an iSCSI target of the TVS-x63+,
you can create a virtual disk on the local
server. The TVS-x63+ can be a stack
master to connect up to 8 virtual disks or
stack targets, aggregating storage space
from multiple NAS systems. Thus, all NAS
users only need to connect to a single
target to access the space from all of the
network storage devices.
For every virtual disk on the local
server, it will be seen as a single
drive of disk arrays.

￭ QNAP high-performance unified and tiered storage solution
￭ Tiered storage for better efficiency
The following is a comprehensive comparison of general tiered storage devices.
Data used by enterprises continues to grow exponentially and with greater diversity in data types and
importance. It is imperative to offer a secure and efcient storage solution that can process this enormous
amount of data while minimizing the total cost of ownership.
Establishing a tired storage system based on efciency and capacity can aid in improving overall processing
efficiency. Enterprises can classify data accordingly by sharing folders with a file-based storage system
and processing files that require more demanding data throughput with a block-based storage system to
accommodate different usage models.
The TVS-x63+ Series can exibly congure different tiers to hard drives on a single unit according to different
data usage needs, delivering the best unied and tiered storage solution.
In the cloud era, enterprises need a storage architecture that can provide rapid access to dynamically
scalable and virtualized IT resources. Classifying data into Hot Data (frequently-accessed) and Cold Data
(rarely-accessed) to store them in a tiered storage can help achieve this goal efciently and cost effectively.
Businesses often use SSD to improve the overall workow of random IOPS demanding applications such as
databases and virtualization. Different types of storage media are used for different purposes. Hence, it is
better to utilize different storage media according to the system requirements.

QNAP's Unique Transcoding Technology
Every year many SMBs produce hundreds of promotional videos for marketing purposes. However,
due to the increasing use of HD videos (720p, 1080p), video files are becoming increasingly large in
size and can use lots of network bandwidth to share or play them over a network.
￭ Powerful transcoding tools
On-the-y transcoding and background transcoding allow you to convert videos to optimized resolutions for
accommodating slower/restricted network environments and device limitations.
￭ Smart transcoding adapts to suit different bandwidth
The TVS-x63+ series provides a range of resolutions to play/share videos according to different bandwidth
limits. Higher resolutions need more bandwidth, and you can select the right resolution for your network
environment to get the best viewing experience.

￭ Multi-mode transcoding function
Auto transcoding
When you set a folder on the Turbo vNAS to be an auto-
transcoding folder, videos added to it will be automatically
converted to a resolution you have set. For example, if you
set the folder to 360p, videos added to this folder will be
automatically transcoded to 360p as a background task.
Background hardware-accelerated transcoding
The TVS-x63+ series fully supports offline background transcoding for 1080p videos. Just add videos to the
transcoding list and use the Turbo vNAS to convert the original high-resolution video for use with multiple
resolutions. Then you can select an appropriate resolution when sharing or watching to match your device or network
environment.
On-the-fly transcoding
If you have many high-resolution videos, but did not transcode in advance,
you can use on-the-fly transcoding. This will adapt to meet bandwidth limits,
with the Turbo vNAS transcoding in real time for directly watching the video.
Subtitles
By selecting the Embed Subtitles option in the Transcode Management function, you can embed subtitles to a video
when converting a video to any resolution. The subtitles will then be displayed when a video is played on whatever
device you are using.
Hardware-accelerated transcoding technology
With powerful AMD® RadeonTM Graphics, video creation & conversion is faster, easier and can significantly reduce the
time needed when handling concurrent on-the-fly transcoding tasks.
QNAP Turbo vNAS transcoding videos
day and night
According to surveys, in a typical SOHO environment
the Turbo NAS is idle for more than 60% of the time. To
make the most of this idle time, you can set the Turbo
vNAS to transcode videos after office hours. This way
you can watch videos later or share them immediately
on your computers and mobile devices.
