• Two 10GbE SFP+ SmartNIC ports with iSER support accelerate large file sharing and intensive data transfer.
• PCIe expandability allows for graphics cards or 40GbE/ 25GbE/ 10GbE adapters to increase application performance.
• 4K media playback and online transcoding. Directly view on a TV/monitor via HDMI 2.0 output (up to 4K @60Hz).
• Software-defined SSD RAID extra over-provisioning (from 1% to 60%) optimizes SSD random write speeds and extends SSD lifespan.
• Scalable storage supporting virtualization, containerized apps, centralized storage, backup, sharing, and disaster recovery.
• Comprehensive security management, providing a security portal for your NAS and helping you to stay informed of NAS status at all times.
8th Gen Intel Core processors with more cores and power, and up to 64 GB RAM
The TVS-872XU features an 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8100 quad-core 3.6 GHz processor and up to 64 GB DDR4 memory, delivering higher performance to help you accomplish more tasks efficiently. It provides four Gigabit and two 10GbE SFP+ LAN ports, supports SATA 6Gb/s drives, and features AES-NI encryption for delivering high performance while also maintaining the security of your data.
Dual-channel memory delivers power-smart performance
The TVS-872XU supports dual-channel DDR4 memory in four Long-DIMM slots. When using paired memory modules, the TVS-872XU can leverage the power of dual-channel architecture to boost performance. You also customize the memory configuration (supports up to 64 GB RAM) of the TVS-872XU for greater performance to tackle dynamically-changing workloads such as virtualization.
Robust. Durable. Expandable.
The TVS-872XU features high-quality hardware and expandable architecture, enabling optimum performance and flexibility to fulfill business needs in performance and application diversification.
Dual 10GbE connectivity optimizes high-speed data transfer and VMware virtualization with iSER
The TVS-872XU provides two 10GbE SFP+ ports that use the Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx SmartNIC controller. They support the iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol, allowing data to bypass general network drivers, the socket layer, and to directly enter memory buffers of the ESXi server and storage to offload CPU workloads. When both the VMware server and the TVS-872XU support iSER, it can provide up to 60% increased random read/write performance and 50% decreased latency, providing an essential tool to optimize demanding virtualization applications.
Recommended usage of PCIe slots
The TVS-872XU provides multiple PCIe slots. To ensure that the SATA drives have sufficient bandwidth, it is recommended to only use low-end expansion cards, (such as a 1GbE NIC, USB 3.0 card, or Wi-Fi adapter) with the PCIe Gen2 slot (Slot 1) as this slot is connected to the PCH. For high-end expansion cards (including 10GbE/40GbE NICs, SAS cards, Mustang-200 acceleration card, and graphics cards), it is recommended to use PCIe Gen3 slots (Slot 2, 3, 4) as these slots are connected to the CPU.
Abundant I/O capability with PCIe expansion
The TVS-872XU features 4 PCIe slots that allow for the usage of various expansion cards to expand application potential.
Note: 1U, 2U rackmount models use low-profile graphics cards; 3U, 4U rackmount models use high-profile graphics cards.
Empower GPU-accelerated computing with graphics cards
Graphics cards are optimized for graphical calculations and transformations. The TVS-872XU provides PCIe slots for installing an AMD Radeon or NVIDIA graphics card to boost data-intensive AI machine learning, while also providing benefits for imaging processing and virtual machine performance (via GPU passthrough).
Note: 1. 3U/4U models support high-profile graphics cards that require external power; 1U/2U models support low-profile graphics cards that do not require additional external power (For example, the NVIDIA GT1030).
2. GPU support for QTS only applies to NVIDIA graphics cards. GPU Passthrough for VM is supported by AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
3. When Virtualization Station uses graphics cards, the NAS will temporarily stop hardware transcoding acceleration for QTS (and vice versa).
4. Always consult the Compatibility List for supported NAS and graphics cards before purchasing a graphics card for the NAS.
SSD caching and auto tiering enable 24/7 optimized storage efficiency
By enabling Qtier auto-tiering on the TVS-872XU, organizations can just buy the amount of SSDs needed, and attain the highest value/performance and optimal storage efficiency for data storage and sharing.
Improve random data access speeds with an SSD cache
SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce latency for storage volumes. They are perfect for IOPS-demanding applications (including databases and virtualization) and can significantly improve overall workflows. The TVS-872XU also supports write-only SSD caches to greatly boost write-intensive applications and also RAID 5/6 SSD caches for higher performance and caching space.
Maximize the value of SSDs with Qtier Technology
Qtier Technology empowers the TVS-872XU with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency by automatically moving data between 2.5" SSDs and high-capacity HDDs based on the data's access frequency. Qtier 2.0 features IO-awareness that empowers SSD-tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the advantages of SSDs.
Attain enterprise-grade SSD performance levels from affordable consumer SSDs
With SSD prices continuing to fall, even small businesses and home users can easily integrate cost-effective SSDs to boost their NAS performance. The TVS-872XU supports software-defined SSD extra over-provisioning (OP) that allows you to allocate additional OP space (from 1% to 60%) to optimize random write speeds and to extend SSD lifespan. Now you can use affordable consumer SSDs for the TVS-872XU, adjust the SSD OP, and potentially attain performance and endurance levels similar to enterprise-grade SSDs to enjoy faster file backups, smoother multimedia experiences, and optimized virtualization applications.
Up to 128 monitoring channels in QVR Pro, 4K HDMI output, and real-time transcoding
The TVS-872XU has an HDMI 2.0 port which supports 4K (3840 x 2160) 60Hz output, allowing you to directly display surveillance videos* and media files on a monitor or TV via HD Station. Featuring advanced Intel UHD Graphics 630, the TVS-872XU provides high-quality 4K (H.264) and 1080p video transcoding, and you can easily convert videos to universal file formats that can be smoothly played on multiple devices
Note: The maximum number of channels supported varies by NAS model, network configuration, and camera settings. The TVS-872XU's hardware provides H.264 hardware decoding, encoding and transcoding capabilities. However, playback quality may vary due to factors including playback software, file formats, system usage, and available bandwidth.
Flexibly allocate physical and virtual network resources to simplify network deployment
The Network & Virtual Switch application allows you to leverage limited physical network resources for unlimited virtual applications and centrally manage the entire network structure with a brilliantly-visualized network topology map. Flexible manageability enables you to reorganize physical and virtual network connections with greater ease, so you can allocate adequate network resources to the TVS-872XU, virtual machines and containers whenever needed. The network deployment is greatly simplified while your network management efficiency is greatly improved.
Complete backup planning
The TVS-872XU provides a reliable, flexible backup & disaster recovery solution to assist organizations in routine backup jobs with cost-efficiency and high productivity.
Snapshots for Volume & LUN
