Taipei, Taiwan, November 10, 2023 - QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking, and storage solution innovator, today launched new discounted bundles for the TS-473A-SW5T, TS-673A-SW5T and TS-873A-SW5T. Each bundle contains a TS-473A, TS-673A or TS-873A NAS with a 5-port 2.5GbE Switch QSW-1105-5T. To break through Gigabit bottlenecks in connecting 2.5G LAN/WAN devices, the QSW-1105-5T allows connecting to not only multiple 2.5GbE gaming PC/laptops, but also TS-x73A NAS for high-speed data transmission, such as file backup, multimedia transfer, VM/Container and video surveillance high-bandwidth applications.

“As ISPs now offer home users with multi-gigabit internet connections and faster Wi-Fi 6 requires multi-gigabit wired networking, we need to upgrade our networks to take advantage of this huge bandwidth. QNAP’s 2.5GbE Switch and NAS take full advantage of this bandwidth to provide a smoother networking experience for home and work needs.” said Jerry Deng, Product Manager of QNAP, adding “QNAP now offers a discounted bundle for 2.5GbE Switch and NAS, allowing users to upgrade to high-speed networks and file center in homes or offices at an affordable price.”

TS-x73A series: AMD Ryzen™ quad-core multi-tasking 2.5GbE NAS

TS-x73A series includes two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports which can be combined to achieve up to 5Gbps bandwidth using SMB Multichannel; two M.2PCIe NVMe SSD slots for SSD Caching or high-speed storage pools; two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots for installing 5GbE/10GbE network cards, connecting to QNAP storage expansion units, or supporting entry-level graphics cards for boosting video editing performance or passing through GPU functions to virtual machines. The TS-x73A series incorporates QTS 5 to offer an all-in-one backup and restoration solution supporting versatile cloud-based services for simple hybrid cloud deployment. IT staff can regularly take snapshots to protect NAS against ransomware and create virtual private networks using the QVPN service for secure remote data access to your NAS. Windows®, Linux®, UNIX®, Android™ virtual machines can be hosted using Virtualization Station. Docker®, LXD, and Kata Containers can be run using Container Station. Users can find and install a multitude of apps from the App Center to expand the application potential of the NAS.
