QNAP TS-EC1279U-RP 4GB RAM 12-Bay 3.5 /2.5 SATA NAS Server with ECC Memory, 2U Rackmount, Intel Xeon E3-1225 V2 3.2 GHz, 4x RAM Solts, 2x USB 3.0/4x USB2.0

The Qnap TS-EC1279U-RP which serves as both IP-SAN (iSCSI) and NAS, can be easily utilized in different business and enterprise applications such as backup center, disaster recovery, file sharing, virtualization and video editing storage.

Simple
The TS-EC1279U-RP features the easy-to-use QTS 4.0 operating system and provides a user-friendly web GUI that allows administrators to easily manage the NAS so there is no need for an extensive knowledge of complex commands. Simple management tools such as instant SMS/Email alert, the hard drive S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) feature and system resource monitor are provided to keep administrators up-to-date on their NAS at alltimes.

Secure
Data might seem insecure being open in a network, but the QNAP TS-EC1279U-RP offers a variety of security options such as encrypted access, IP filtering, policy-based automatic IP blocking and more. In addition, full control of the NAS is offered down to the user and folder access rights to determine who can access the NAS and what can or cannot be accessed. The TS-EC1279U-RP is packed with security features to stop all unauthorized data access such as AES-256 volume-based encryption. The AES-256 volume-based encryption prevents sensitive data from unauthorized access and data-breach even if the hard drives or the device is stolen.

Scalable
As your business grows, so will your data. TS-EC1279U-RP supports online capacity expansion by cascading multiple QNAP RAID expansion enclosures. With the QNAP scale-up solution, hundreds of Terabyte raw capacity is supported and it is especially useful for large data applications, such as video surveillance, data archiving and TV broadcast storage.

Reliable
The TS-EC1279U-RP is reliable with built-in safety precautions to safeguard all data from any unforeseen problems. With multiple built-in features to promise no interruptions to the work flow of a business, the TS-EC1279U-RP is an efficient asset. The advanced RAID configurations and hot-swap capabilities are included to give RAID performance, protection and reduced rebuilding time. Moreover, the dual OS embedded on the DOM architecture ensures the system will boot up. If one of the two operating systems fails, the healthy operating system will boot up and operate normally while repairing the failed operating system. The dual Gigabit LAN ports can also be configured for failover which allows the NAS server to sustain the failure of one network port and still provide continuous services.

High Performance
The TS-EC1279U-RP features Intel Xeon E3-1225 3.1GHz Processor, 4GB DDR3 ECC memory, 10 Gigabit network capability and 6Gb/s SATA. Even the most demanding requirements in data center or corporate networks can be satisfied by the TS-EC1279U-RP. With outstanding data transfer rate of over 1,000 MB/s data throughput and 100,000 IOPS 1, intensive business applications and concurrent tasks can be easily fulfilled.

The TS-EC1279U-RP offers class-leading system architecture matched with 10 GbE networking performance designed to meet the needs of demanding server virtualization, such as VMware, Citrix and Windows Hyper-V. 10 GbE network speeds greatly increase the agility of data transmission in a virtualized environment intensifying NFS and iSCSI connection performance.

Run multiple OS' on the TS-EC1279U-RP
The Virtualization Station transforms the TS-EC1279U-RP into a 2-in-a-box NAS that can function as an All-in-One NAS and a virtualization platform supporting multiple operating systems, fast virtual machine creation, virtual machine import/export, snapshot and enables desktop operations on web browser. With the easy-to-use interface, you can centrally manage all virtual machines created on the TS-EC1279U-RP with least efforts. Furthermore, you can download VMs on demand from the online VM markets and import them to TS-EC1279U-RP to use directly without any complex procedure.

High Network Bandwidth
The TS-EC1279U-RP offers network expansion options which includes dual-port 1 GbE and dual-port 10 GbE network expansion cards, to aggregate and boost network performance. The TS-EC1279U-RP includes two Gigabit (GbE) LAN ports which can be expanded to four GbE LAN ports or two 10 GbE LAN ports plus two GbE ports.

ECC RAM for High Reliability
The ECC (Error Correction Codes) RAM of the Turbo NAS can detect and correct errors introduced during transmission or storage of data. It offers more protection in mission critical applications.

Blazing Fast Data Backup via USB 3.0
The TS-EC1279U-RP features USB 3.0 ports for high speed backup to external hard drives. EXT3, EXT4, NTFS and HFS+ file systems are supported to ensure compatibility with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems.
