QuTScloud + Cloud Storage = Enhance Your Data’s Value and Increase Management Efficiency
You may be using one or more cloud storages to store your data. But with various management interfaces and basic features, it can be hard to effectively use cloud-based data. QuTScloud can greatly enhance your cloud data ecosystem. By mounting supported cloud storage with the QNAP HybridMount app in QuTScloud, you can manage cloud-based data with advanced functionality. You can even use QuTScloud apps to leverage your cloud-based data for increased productivity. Using HybridMount to mount cloud storages as QuTScloud data stores delivers greater cost savings than directly setting up the space with the QuTScloud instance.
Note: The QuTScloud system volume cannot be set up to use a cloud storage mounted with HybridMount.
Why your IT structure needs a QuTScloud Cloud NAS
Connection. Use hassle-free common file access protocols.
-
Access via Samba share with your file browser
You can access QuTScloud via standard protocols (including CIFS/SMB, NFS, AFP, and iSCSI) and use the web-based File Station to manage, browse, and share files. In addition to setting authentication for individual or group user accounts, Windows AD and LDAP integration for directory management helps simplify user administration – especially for businesses with a large number of users.
-
Create a safe VPN connection
QuTScloud allows you to create a secure tunnel for your entire internet connection to access data or to circumvent network/geographical limitations. QBelt, QNAP’s proprietary VPN protocol, can also encrypt traffic when you access sensitive data, decreasing the chance of being detected as a VPN connection.
-
Provide cloud drives to group users
IT staff can allocate QuTScloud storage space to workgroup users, allowing them to store, back up and share files as easily as using cloud drives. The myQNAPcloud Link service allows connecting to QuTScloud with a unique domain name, making it easy to access, manage, and share data without requiring static IP addresses.
Data sharing and protection. Map cloud space and easily leverage cloud data.
-
Consolidate Amazon S3 and S3-compatible cloud object storage
With HybridMount, S3 and S3-compatible cloud object storage space can be mounted and centrally managed in QuTScloud. These cloud files can be accessed using File Station or the Qfile mobile app for efficient file sharing. Cloud storage connected by cloud storage gateways (HybridMount, VJBOD Cloud) can be accessed using SMB, FTP, AFP, NFS, WebDAV protocols to simplify using cloud data.
-
Protect cloud-based data with snapshots and versioning
QuTScloud supports snapshots for cloud data protection. You can easily create multiple versions of snapshot files for quick backup and recovery. The incremental backups feature helps save time and bandwidth, and data recovery from snapshots only takes a few minutes.
Productivity. Install feature-rich apps for easier management and greater application potential.
-
Indexing and searchable data on the cloud
Qsirch is a full-text search engine that lets you quickly find files located throughout your cloud NAS and the cloud spaces connected by cloud storage gateways. Organizations can quickly search and identify files to help in many tasks, including compliance with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
-
Expand application potential with the QTS App Center
The App Center provides various install-on-demand apps, including tools for backup/sync, productivity, and multimedia to expand the application potential of QuTScloud. For example, easily monitor the status of QuTScloud with Notification Center; Qfiling automates file organization; QuMagie provides an AI-powered photo album. QuTScloud also supports hosting containerized apps, or a proxy server for optimized network bandwidth and secured network connection. Apps can also be installed manually. The App Center will automatically update your apps to the latest versions.
For
Organizations which have cloud-based data and need a good file management system
For
Offices with hybrid clouds, and those requiring cross-site file sharing
For
Small offices/professionals who require a NAS
If you already have cloud-based data, then QuTScloud is your must-have cloud NAS
For organizations which have stored most of their data on the cloud but lack a good management system to capitalize their digital assets, QuTScloud as a cloud NAS can provide an excellent data management solution – assisting organizations in optimizing their cloud data and maximizing the value of the cloud. On the other hand, an on-premises QNAP NAS provides high throughput and data protection for medium-to-large-sized organizations and branches with on-hand IT staff. For smaller offices and remote workers, QuTScloud is a more ideal choice for collaboration and data sharing as it provides instant connectivity with no hardware maintenance. QuTScloud users can use QNAP’s myQNAPcloud Link service to easily access the cloud NAS without worrying about complex VPN settings or paying for a dedicated internet connection. Versatile QNAP NAS features are readily available while privilege control is also made easy with separated internal/external devices for enhanced security.
