QNAP TES-1885U-D1531 12 (+6) Bay NAS Enclosure, 6-Core 2.2GHz, 32GB RAM and iSCSI/IP-SAN

Make the most of your enterprise storage needs with the TES-1885U 12 (+6) Bay NAS Enclosure, a robust and versatile solution designed to handle mission-critical applications with ease. This high-performance NAS is powered by an Intel Xeon D 6-core processor, clocking in at 2.2GHz, and is equipped with a substantial 32GB of RAM, ensuring smooth and efficient operation even under heavy workloads.

The TES-1885U stands out with its dual OS options, offering the flexibility to run either the FreeBSD-based QES or the Linux-based QTS operating systems. Each OS caters to different storage requirements: QES is ideal for maximizing reliability with features like ZFS, near-limitless snapshots, block-level data deduplication, and real-time data compression. On the other hand, QTS shines with Qtier Technology, SSD caching, and a suite of value-added applications to enhance storage efficiency and cater to diverse usage scenarios.

This NAS enclosure is engineered for performance, featuring a 14nm Intel Xeon D 64-bit SoC processor with integrated PCH, supporting up to 128GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM RAM or 64GB DDR4 non-ECC UDIMM RAM. The inclusion of two built-in 10GbE SFP+ ports and 12Gb/s SAS capabilities ensures rapid data transmission and application responsiveness.

The TES-1885U's hardware is built to last, supporting both SAS 12Gb/s and SATA 6Gb/s hard drives and SSDs. It offers a range of memory options with four DDR4 RAM modules for UDIMM and ECC RDIMM, providing flexibility for different enterprise needs. The unit also includes four hot-swappable cooling fans, ensuring continuous uptime and easy maintenance.

Connectivity is a strong suit of the TES-1885U, with four Gigabit Ethernet ports and four PCIe slots, including three PCIe Gen.3 and one PCIe Gen.2, allowing for the addition of 10GbE/40GbE adapters and PCIe NVMe SSDs. Six dedicated 2.5" SATA SSD slots are available for caching or high-performance storage pools.

The QES operating system, based on FreeBSD and ZFS, delivers a storage solution that is both simple and efficient, perfect for high-end enterprise applications. ZFS offers advanced features such as RAID-Z for data protection, SSD cache, and nearly limitless snapshots and cloning, ensuring data integrity and protection against corruption.

For virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) applications, the TES-1885U's all-flash storage capabilities, combined with data deduplication and compression, provide significant cost savings and performance enhancements. The NAS supports up to 65,536 snapshots and SnapSync for efficient disaster recovery and business continuity.

Comprehensive backup solutions are also a key feature of the TES-1885U, with support for QNAP NetBak Replicator and compatibility with VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, and Microsoft Hyper-V, making it a valuable asset in virtualization environments.

When paired with the Enterprise ZFS NAS, the TES-1885U serves as an excellent backup NAS, ensuring minimal downtime and rapid data recovery. The QTS operating system offers a rich set of applications and functionalities, including tiered storage and application-based partitioning for optimal storage management.

Finally, the TES-1885U excels in cross-platform file sharing and centralized data storage, supporting SMB/CIFS, NFS, and AFP protocols, and providing comprehensive security with integrated antivirus solutions and support for Windows AD and LDAP services.

With its advanced features, the TES-1885U 12 (+6) Bay NAS Enclosure is an exceptional choice for businesses seeking a powerful, scalable, and reliable storage solution.
