Qnap TS-431XEU 2G NAS 4 Bays

Shallow Rackmount NAS with Quad-Core CPU and 10GbE SFP+ Port\n\nThe high-performance, shallow quad-core TS-431XeU includes a 10GbE SFP+ port to fully support high-speed networks. 10GbE at an affordable price with maximized ROI. The shallow design is perfectly suited for installing the TS-431XeU in a compact rack, or in locations with a large amount of cabling. The TS-431XeU provides versatile multifunctional functionality and unique features, including VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) - an economical way to utilize unused NAS storage space to expand the storage capacity of other QNAP NAS - and Container Station - which allows users to quickly develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The TS-431XeU is a cost-effective storage solution designed for growing businesses looking to be able to perform backup, restore, private cloud, virtualization storage, and future-proof their IT infrastructure for 10GbE networks.\n\n- Shallow design is suitable for installation in smaller racks or space-constrained locations\n- 10GbE connectivity, SSD caching and encryption acceleration engine\n- VJBOD allows the TS-431XeU to be used for capacity expansion storage from other QNAP NAS\n- Containerized virtualization and IoT application development with Container Station\n- Build a private cloud for centralized file organization, management and backup tasks\n- Secure access with VPN Server & VPN Client\n- Qsirch, the full-text search engine, helps you quickly locate files on the NAS\n- Expand the total storage capacity up to 24 drives by connecting up to 2 QNAP expansion chassis (UX-1200U- RP or UX-800U-RP)
 
A smaller footprint for greater opportunities\n\nCompared to a traditional 4-bay rackmount NAS, the TS-431XeU is only 294 mm (11.46 inches) deep. This makes the TS-431XeU an excellent choice for smaller racks, and unused space can be reserved for cabling or ventilation. The TS-431XeU saves space for flexible deployment and is especially suitable for multiple locations and applications, including offices, audiovisual rooms and security surveillance recording.
 
Quad-core CPU and integrated 10GbE SFP+ port\n\nThe TS-431XeU is equipped with an Alpine AL314 quad-core 1.7 GHz ARM® Cortex-A15 processor from Annapurna Labs, the Amazon company, with SATA 6Gb/s and up to 8GB DDR3 RAM. Its encryption acceleration engine provides unmatched encryption performance in its class with AES 256-bit full NAS volume encryption, boosting system performance and security while ensuring data security confidential business files stored on the TS-431XeU. In addition to two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the TS-431XeU also includes a 10GbE SFP+ port to support high-speed 10GbE networks in businesses that require higher bandwidth for virtualization and fast backup and restore of a quantity. of ever-increasing data.
 
SSD Cache Acceleration\n\nThe TS-431XeU supports SSD caching to significantly increase the IOPS performance of storage volumes and increase operational efficiency. It is perfect for improving the overall workflow of applications that require IOPS and allows a perfect price-performance ratio by combining SSDs with HDDs.
