The Qnap TS-EC1679U-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-EC1679U-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 all times.
Secure
Data might seem insecure being open in a network, but the QNAP TS-EC1679U-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-EC1679U-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-EC1679U-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-EC1679U-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-EC1679U-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-EC1679U-RP features Quad Core Intel Xeon E3-1225 Processor, 4GB DDR3 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-EC1679U-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.
Scale up Storage Over 400TB Raw Capacity
Simply connect QNAP RAID expansion enclosures to the TS-EC1679U-RP and power it on. TS-EC1679U-RP will detect the hard drives in the RAID expansion enclosures as newly installed local drives. The storage capacity of the TS-EC1679U-RP can be expanded seamlessly by using the powerful QTS Storage Manager.
SSD cache acceleration
The TS-EC1679U-RP supports SSD caching which can greatly boost IOPS performance of storage volumes. It is perfect for improving overall workflow of IOPS demanding applications such as virtualization.
NAS + iSCSI/IP-SAN Solution for Server Virtualization
With increasing virtualization of IT resources, the need for high performance storage is more essential than ever. The TS-EC1679U-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-EC1679U-RP
The Virtualization Station transforms the TS-EC1679U-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-EC1679U-RP with least efforts. Furthermore, you can download VMs on demand from the online VM markets and import them to TS-EC1679U-RP to use directly without any complex procedure.
High Network Bandwidth
The TS-EC1679U-RP offers network expansion options which include dual-port 1 GbE and dual-port 10 GbE network expansion cards, to aggregate and boost network performance. The TS-EC1679U-RP includes four Gigabit (GbE) LAN ports which can be expanded up to eight GbE LAN ports or four 10 GbE LAN ports plus six 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-EC1679U-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.
Backup Center for Business
The TS-EC1679U-RP offers a complete backup solution for businesses with QNAP NetBak Replicator which supports real-time and scheduled data backup from Windows PCs, Apple Time Machine backup from Mac OS and third party backup software such as Acronis True Image and Symantec Backup Exec.
Disaster Recovery Solution
The TS-EC1679U-RP offers users peace of mind, business continuity and high availability of data by providing the ability to recover their data from disasters.
iSCSI LUN Backup and Restore
The Turbo NAS has taken iSCSI LUN backup/restore to a whole new level with snapshot technology. The IT administrator can use the LUN snapshot to back up contents in the LUN to various storage destinations, including Windows shared folders via SMB/CIFS, Linux shared folders via NFS or local shared folders on the Turbo NAS.
Cloud Storage Backup
Get ready to send private data to the clouds! The TS-EC1679U-RP supports Amazon S3, ElephantDrive and Symform cloud storage backup which have several backup modes including real-time, scheduled backup and versioning control so that the data can be restored from any point of time. The cloud storages can be monitored through a web browser. An extra set of all of the data stored will always be available, so remote data recovery is quick and simple.
iSCSI and Virtualization Deployment
The TS-EC1679U-RP is fully VMware and Citrix ready and Windows Hyper-V compliant.
Secure Deployment
Designed with CHAP authentication and LUN masking, the advanced ACL (Access Control List) offers the capability to block unauthorized access from the initiators.
Designed for Virtualized and Clustered Environments
Compared with a high cost Fibre Channel SAN, the TS-EC1679U-RP is an affordable system that can be deployed as a storage center for virtualized and clustered server environments, such as VMware and Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster.
SPC-3 Persistent Reservation Supported
The built-in iSCSI service supports enterprise-level features such as SPC-3 persistent reservation for clustering in VMware and Windows Server 2008 R2. The administrator can set up Microsoft Failover Cluster environment, use Cluster Shared Volume for Hyper-V and execute virtual machine live migration between Hyper-V hosts.
Advanced MPIO and MC/S Supported
With the support of MPIO (Multipath Input Output) and MC/S (Multiple Connections per Session) on the Turbo NAS, users can connect to the iSCSI targets on the TS-EC1279U-RP using two or more network interfaces from their server with failover and load balancing. Furthermore, with MC/S settings better data transmission performance is achieved.
Video Editing
Digital film and video production produces volumes of data that require high performance RAID storage with sustainable throughput to balance with the demanding output of video editing. The TS-EC1679U-RP fulfills storage and video editing needs with a high speed 10 GbE network interface. Digital videos can be quickly stored and edited on the TS-EC1679U-RP directly over the network.
IP-SAN Storage
The built-in iSCSI feature provides an affordable IP-SAN (Storage Area Network) alternative for business. Compared with Fibre Channel SAN, the total investment is significantly lowered.
