Highly-reliable file server allowing thousands of simultaneous connections

A traditional manufacturing company adopted Enterprise ZFS NAS to deploy an internal file server for storing a large quantity of manufacturing operations data.

Compared with its previous file server (based on Windows Server) that was complex to deploy and difficult to manage and maintain, the dual-controller Enterprise ZFS NAS provides steady and high-performance services that allow thousands of endpoint users to smoothly access data stored on the NAS. By implementing two Enterprise ZFS NAS units, the company can effectively back up important data using SnapSync to enjoy a highly-reliable storage and backup solution.

Outstanding business storage for comprehensive virtualization applications

QNAP integrated the FreeBSD kernel and ZFS file system to develop the brand-new QES operating system, which is perfectly suited for high-end enterprise applications. More highly-anticipated features include in-line data compression, block-level data deduplication and more. All of these powerful functions realizes greater storage utilization efficiency for virtualization applications.

• Storage
  optimization

  Enterprise ZFS NAS supports include in-line data compression, near-limitless snapshots, SnapSync, thin provisioning with reclaim, and block-level data deduplication.

• Array-based
  replication

  Enterprise ZFS NAS fully supports VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM), provides Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) for SRM.

• Perfect for virtualization environments

  Enterprise ZFS NAS supports not only VMware vSphere Plug-in, SCVMM SMI-S Plug-in, VMware Block/NAS VAAI for virtualization environments.

Outstanding business disaster recovery storage for virtualization

An enterprise backed up local Shared Folders and iSCSI LUN snapshots to the destination through the Internet for disaster recovery planning.

In addition to the features provided by the QNAP Site Recovery Agent (QNAP SRA) plug-ins and the VMware Site Recovery Manager (VMware SRM)'s support for remote array backup, Enterprise ZFS NAS supports SnapSync that enables resuming essential services in a short time at the remote location if a problem occurs locally or if the Internet connection is disrupted. After the local issues have been resolved, they can run migration plans to complete the protection of essential services.

Efficient and reliable VDI platform and storage

VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) implementation has become a mainstream choice for desktop virtualization. There can be over 90% duplicate data from OS images and applications that are spread over virtual desktops. Enterprise ZFS NAS supports block-based data deduplication to optimize storage usage from redundant data, effectively saving TCO of businesses on storage devices.

• Dual controller
  architecture

  Enterprise ZFS NAS is built with symmetric, dual active-active controllers. If one controller breaks down, the standby controller will quickly take over to eliminate downtime

• SSD read cache and write acceleration in NVRAM (ZIL)

  The NVRAM dedicated to the ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) provides industry-leading random access performance to benefit VDI performance and stability.

• Data deduplication eliminates redundant data

  Enterprise ZFS NAS supports block-based data deduplication to optimize storage usage from redundant data

Powerful VDI platform and storage for hosting 500+ VDI

By implementing VDI (Virtual desktop infrastructure), high-tech manufacturing, financial, and services industries can benefit from easier management and greater security by maintaining a small number of core desktops that client users can use.

Enterprise ZFS NAS features block-based data deduplication and compression to optimize storage usage from redundant and duplicate data - saving up to 95% storage space from common data used by operating systems. Deduplicated virtual desktops become easier to be cached to achieve optimal virtual desktop performance.

High-performance, trustworthy backup solution

Enterprise ZFS NAS supports up to 65,536 snapshots for iSCSI LUN and shared folders. When executing a remote snapshot backup, it only needs to transfer changed data, and can use deduplication and compression to significantly reduce the amount of transferred data. Enterprise ZFS NAS can provide SnapSync remote backup for snapshots at the shortest interval of every 5 minutes, fully supports VMware vCenter Site Recovery (SRM) technology and provides enterprise-class remote backup & disaster recovery solution to fulfill business continuity. Enterprise ZFS NAS also supports file-based rsync that takes snapshots of the volume before starting replication and then backs up snapshots to a remote server. This greatly enhances data integrity.

High-performance, trustworthy backup solution

Enterprise businesses can leverage the bock-based SnapSync provided by Enterprise ZFS NAS to save physical storage space for backup data, and conduct disaster recovery plans in the minimized time.

Enterprise ZFS NAS supports up to 65,536 snapshots for iSCSI LUN and shared folders, which can be backed up to remote devices by using iSCSI /Samba to remote servers, rsync protocol to another QNAP NAS, or SnapSync function to another Enterprise ZFS NAS.

Optimized NAS solution for video studios and video streaming workflows

Professional video and television studios split up work into different teams and emphasize efficiency. In these environments, smooth workflows play a crucial role in their fast-paced business. Enterprise ZFS NAS delivers nearly zero downtime high availability to ensure non-stop, continuous work.

• DRAM Write Cache

  Enterprise ZFS NAS features DRAM Write Cache with dedicated battery backup unit and SSD cache acceleration that effectively boosts random read/write performance

• Self-healing

  QES supports self-healing and uses end-to-end checksums to detect and correct silent data corruption to ensure data integrity.

• Storage expansion

  Enterprise ZFS NAS can be easily scaled up to over 500TB per storage pool with storage expansion units (EJ1600 / EJ1600 v2),

Optimized NAS solution for video studios and video streaming workflows

An online video streaming service company utilized Enterprise ZFS NAS as a sharing storage device for massive media files, which is well supplemented with greater storage space by QNAP storage expansion units.

After receiving media input from multiple video editing work stations, the self-healing capabilities supported by Enterprise ZFS NAS helps ensure end-to-end data integrity to prevent video file corruption. While the NVRAM boosts the write speed of data from video editing work stations, the SSD cache benefits random read speeds from video streaming servers. These two cache mechanisms work together to provide the IOPS-intensive performance needed to power high-quality video streaming.
