Scale Up To 1000+ Terabytes
Create unified storage pool to efficiently manage and deploy storage capacity
Expand to over 1 petabyte (1000 TB) of storage capacity. With QNAP's RAID expan-sion enclosures, you can easily expand the Turbo NAS storage up to 1000TB+ raw capacity to store big data. Multiple RAID expansion enclosures can be concatenated over time, largely improving flexibility in IT budget allocation for businesses that do not see rapid growth of storage demand currently, but at some time in the near future.

Designed For Virtualized And Clustered Environments
Providing businesses with powerful and flexible storage solutions
The Turbo NAS is certified with VMware vSphere NFS and iSCSI protocols, Citrix XenServer, and is compatible with Microsoft Hyper-V environment. This allows the Turbo NAS to be easily deployed as a shared storage in a virtualized testing envi-ronment where users need to run different types of operating systems and software applications.
QNAP also supports VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX to increase the performance by offloading server loading for ESXi and Hyper-V respectively. With the support of QNAP vSphere Client plug-in, web client*, and QNAP SMI-S provider, it further en-hances the efficiency of operations and management in virtualization applications.

* Available in QTS 4.2
QNAP's Virtualization Station enables virtualized desktop operations on the Turbo NAS for managing multiple virtual machines. With the easy-to-use interface, you can centrally manage all virtual machines created on the Turbo NAS with least efforts. Easily use the NAS as a Windows PC by connecting the QNAP to any monitor via HDMI.

Boost Performance With Internal Caching
Designed for IO acceleration
QNAP's business NAS storage supports on-board mSATA internal cache ports, and up to 4 SSDs can be used for caching*. By installing mSATA flash modules (optional purchase), it now supports read-only and read-write** cache to improve the overall workflow of IOPS-demanding applications such as virtualization and data center de-ployment. This also highly improves the overall workflow of random IOPS demanding applications such as database and storage virtualization.

Volume & Lun Snapshot*
Simplifies Restoration
The Storage Manager adds an easy-to-use web-based snapshot tool for you to easi-ly back up and restore data back to any point of time to prevent loss of important da-ta.
* This feature is available in QTS 4.2
Extra Protection with Cloud Backups
In addition to backing up to the QNAP NAS, you could add more protection for your business' data by backing up to public cloud services from the QNAP. By using S3 Plus, Glacier, Azure Storage, Google Cloud Storage, OpenStack Swift and WebDAV apps, you can easily back up files from a QNAP NAS to cloud storage for data re-covery whenever needed.

Your Data Is Safe And Secured
AES 256-bit Encryption
The enterprise NAS supports AES-NI hardware encryption engine which effectively offloads data encryption from CPU, providing faster, more economical data protec-tion and greater security. It prevents the Turbo NAS data from unauthorized access and data breach even if the hard drives or the device were stolen. In addition to vol-ume-based encryption, you can now protect shared folders* with AES 256-bit encryption.
