- SnapSync real-time data synchronization ensures consistent data across both NAS.
- Powered by QuTS hero — a ZFS solution favored by IT professionals for data integrity and resilience.
- High Availability Manager with intuitive setup and system health monitoring
- Cost-effective HA deployment without needing expensive proprietary appliances.
Network HA
Enhance switch-level availability for always-on connectivity
MC-LAG redundancy keeps critical devices online at all times
- Deploy two QNAP L3 Lite switches with MC-LAG to build a resilient network backbone.
- Automatic failover — if one switch fails, the other takes over instantly.
- Uninterrupted NAS access, even if a switch fails.
- Fast path switching minimizes latency and reduces the risk of network disruption.
- Minimizes service downtime with stable throughput and resilient connectivity.
Virtual Machine HA
VM high availability for critical applications
A cost-effective VM HA choice for SMBs — no expensive virtualization platforms required
- No license fees or additional shared storage, reducing deployment and operating costs
- Bidirectional VM protection architecture — two NAS systems act as mutual standby nodes, with flexible HA assignment per VM
- SnapSync real-time synchronization ensures VM data consistency
- Intelligent failover and online switchover ensure continuous VM operation during system maintenance or upgrades
- Natively integrated into the QNAP NAS virtualization environment, eliminating extra deployment and learning overhead
