Fast backup just got faster.
QNAP backup solutions are optimized to solve challenges that arise in cloud backup, sync, and connection latency.
Streamlined backup to cloud object storage
Object storage is widely adopted by organizations, and VJBOD Cloud streamlines the connection between QNAP NAS and cloud storage buckets for saving bandwidth, backup time, and cloud storage.
Secure data with encryption
Client-side encryption, SSL connectivity, and Amazon S3 server-side encryption ensure your data stays protected during file transfer and when stored on public cloud storage.
Back up cold data
from the cloud to NAS
Cold data on the cloud increases cloud storage costs, thus backing up to on-prem is a better option. The NAS-hosted S3-compatible QuObjects allows you to backup cold cloud data with lower costs while also reducing overall cloud storage expenses.
