10GbE NAS + iSCSI/IP-SAN Solution for Server Virtualization

As IT resources become increasingly virtualized, the need for high performance storage becomes highly critical. The Qnap TS-870U-RP Ghana provides class-leading system architecture paired with 10 GbE networking performance engineered to meet the requirements of demanding server virtualization–including VMware, Citrix and Windows Hyper-V. With10 GbE network speeds, the server greatly enhances the ability of data transmission in a virtualized environment, improving NFS and iSCSI connection performance.

High Network Bandwidth

The server provides network expansion options, including dual-port 1 GbE and dual-port 10 GbE network expansion cards, to aggregate and improve network performance. The TS-870U-RP features 2 x Gigabit (GbE) LAN ports, expandable to 6 x GbE LAN, or 4 x 10 GbE LAN plus 2 x GbE ports.

Blazing-Fast Data Backup via USB 3.0

The server boasts USB 3.0 ports for fast backup to external hard drives. EXT3, EXT4, NTFS and HFS+ file systems are all supported, ensuring compatibility with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems.

Cross-Platform Sharing with Antivirus
The server supports SMB / CIFS, NFS and AFP protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac and Linux / UNIX networks. User accounts and shared folders may be generated with the user-friendly web-based interface; no IT expertise is required. The integrated antivirus solution for the Turbo NAS ensures continuous business workflow by providing detection against the latest viruses, malware, worms and Trojan horses.

Windows Active Directory (AD) and LDAP Directory Service
Windows AD and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory service features allow the system administrator to retrieve user accounts from Windows AD or Linux LDAP server to the TS-870U-RP, reducing the time and effort needed in account setup. Users are permitted to use the same login name and password to access the TS-870U-RP.

Shared Folder Aggregation
As an added convenience, you can connect to the shared folders of other servers on Microsoft Networking via the “portal folder” on the Qnap TS-870U-RP. This minimizes the hassle of logging in to various servers one by one.

ISO File Archiving and Sharing
The Qnap TS-870U-RP Ghana supports the mounting of ISO images of CD / DVD discs for network sharing folders for data archiving, storage and sharing. This feature conserves way more space than otherwise used for storing physical discs, lowers the risk of data loss due to long-term use of the discs and improves the performance of data sharing on a business network.

Centralized Log Monitoring
A central repository of log data from different network devices enables efficient business management and security auditing. QNAP Syslog server permits the IT administrator to collect and store logs of other network devices in the Turbo NAS.

Windows ACL
The Windows ACL (access control list) feature offers sophisticated shared folder permission settings and thus simplifies IT management for businesses with a large number of users. By enabling the Windows ACL, basic permissions and 13 advanced permissions can be set up from the Windows Explorer and synchronized with the permission settings of the Turbo NAS. In addition, the same permissions apply to AFP, FTP, Web File Manager and Samba when “Advanced Folder Permissions” are enabled at the same time.

Advanced Folder Permissions
Advanced folder permissions allow users to configure folder/subfolder access to the Turbo NAS. This feature enables users to manage the folder permissions from Microsoft Windows or the web-based management interface of the Turbo NAS easily.

Backup Center for Business

The server delivers a total backup solution for businesses with QNAP QBack / NetBak Replicator, which supports real-time and scheduled data backup from Windows PCs, Apple Time Machine backup from Mac OS and 3rd party backup software, including Acronis True Image and Symantec Backup Exec.

Real-time Remote Replication (RTRR)
Offers real-time or scheduled data replication between the TS-870U-RP and a remote QNAP NAS, FTP server or external drive.

iSCSI LUN Backup and Restore
The Turbo NAS takes iSCSI LUN backup/ restore to an advanced level with snapshot technology. The IT administrator is now able to use the LUN snapshot to back up contents in the LUN to different storage destinations, such as Windows shared folders via SMB / CIFS, Linux shared folders via NFS or local shared folders on the Turbo NAS.

Cloud Storage Backup

 The Qnap TS-870U-RP Ghana provides support for Amazon S3, ElephantDrive and Symform cloud storage backup, which feature several backup modes, such as real-time, scheduled backup and versioning control. This allows data to be restored from any point in time. With ElephantDrive, cloud storage may be monitored via a web browser. An additional set of the stored data will always be available, making remote data recovery quick and easy.

iSCSI and Virtualization Deployment

The Qnap TS-870U-RP Ghana is fully VMware and Citrix ready and Windows Hyper-V compliant. Compared with a high-cost Fibre Channel SAN, the TS-870U-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. 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.

Flexible Management
Offers support for numerous LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) and iSCSI targets. LUNs may be flexibly mapped to, unmapped from and switched among various iSCSI targets.

Secure Deployment
Engineered with CHAP authentication and LUN masking, the sophisticated ACL (Access Control List) provides the ability to block unauthorized access from the initiators.

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 are able to connect to the iSCSI targets on the Qnap TS-870U-RP using 2 or more network interfaces from their server with failover and load balancing. Furthermore, improved data transmission performance can be achieved with MC/S settings.
