Michał Stempniewicz, IT Manager of the Town and Commune Office of Pleszew
Pleszew is a town in Poland with a population of over 17000 residents. The Town and Commune Office of Pleszew currently has 100 employees that provide a variety of public services, including birth and marriage records, tax/fee payments, and the issuing of various licenses and ID cards.
The Town and Commune Office of Pleszew noted that their IT infrastructure suffered from low data transfer speeds. Their original NAS only supported 1GbE connectivity and with large daily bandwidth usage and IT maintenance tasks, the staff realized that their solution was inefficient. This insufficiency was affecting their work and productivity. The IT personnel determined that the key to solve this problem was to implement a NAS with 10GbE connectivity. Working under a tight budget, they sought a reliable and powerful 10-GbE ready NAS at an economical price. However, after investigating solutions on the market, they discovered most NAS models with 10GbE support were surprisingly expensive.
The QNAP TS-531X stood out as an ideal and cost-effective NAS solution. Coming with an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-341 quad-core 1.4 GHz processor by Amazon® and 2GB/8GB DDR3 RAM (upgradable to 16GB), the TS-531X is a powerful 5-bay business NAS that features two integrated 10GbE SFP+ ports. The TS-531X also features a strong hardware-accelerated encryption engine to doubles the encrypted file transfer performance, ensuring security without compromising performance.
The TS-531X fully supports 10GbE network environments to empower IOPS-demanding applications such as virtualization and databases. With two built-in 10GbE SFP+ ports, the TS-531X delivers lightning-fast throughput to accelerate file transfer and backup of virtual machines and database files.
Qsync enables efficient file synchronization between the TS-531X and linked devices. Files uploaded to the TS-531X will be synchronized to other linked devices, ensuring that the most up-to-date versions are always accessible across devices.
The TS-531X can be expanded by connecting a UX-800P/ UX-500P expansion enclosure. It also supports QNAP VJBOD (Virtual JBOD), allowing users to expand the NAS storage capacity by using the unused storage space of another QNAP NAS.
The IT staff of the Town and Commune Office of Pleszew all agree that the TS-531X is a wisely economical choice. As a versatile NAS solution, the TS-531X satisfies their demands for 10GbE connectivity, virtualization, backup and storage expansion. Benefiting from the solution, their productivity has been noticeably increased. "The QNAP TS-531X helped optimize our backup process, making it more efficient than ever. Thanks to Qsync, I don't need to worry about backup anymore," said Michał Stempniewicz, IT Manager of the Town and Commune Office of Pleszew.
