The 4-bay TS-453mini, featuring the easy-to-use QTS operating system, is a powerful, reliable and secure vertical NAS that suits non-spacious office environments. Featuring a stylish glossy look, a quiet exhaust for heat dissipation and LED indicators with adjustable brightness controls, the elegant TS-453mini is packed full of cutting-edge features & apps to provide day-to-day file storage, backup, sharing, and entertainment needs. The TS-453mini delivers high performance with persistent throughput, providing a comprehensive storage solution for small-sized organizations and offices to build a reliable private cloud.
High-performance Quad-core processor and hardware-accelerated AES-NI encryption
Powered by the energy-efficient Intel® Celeron® J3455 1.5 GHz (burst up to 2.3GHz) Quad-core processor with dual channel 4/8GB DDRL RAM (upgradable to 8GB), two Gigabit LAN ports and SATA 6Gb/s, the TS-453Bmini drives up to 225MB/s read speed and runs tasks smoothly and quickly under dual network environments. The TS-453Bmini features Intel® AES-NI hardware-accelerated encryption to drive transfer speeds of up to 225 MB/s with AES 256-bit encryption for both full NAS volume and shared folders, boosting system performance and security while ensuring the safety of sensitive business data stored in the TS-453Bmini.
Vertical and user-friendly design
The glossy TS-453Bmini features a stylish vertical design that takes up 29% less desktop space*. The TS-453Bmini's user-friendly design includes a quiet cooling system and a tool-less design for installing and replacing hot-swappable 3.5" hard drives** and upgrading the RAM. This streamlined architecture design helps you maintain the TS-453Bmini with minimal effort.
Storage for hosting virtual machines and containerized applications
Virtualization Station allows you to host virtual machines (VM) on the TS-453Bmini and access them via a web browser or VNC. Virtualization Station supports multiple operating systems, fast VM creation, VM backup & restoration, VM import/export, snapshot, and Device Management for centrally managing VMs. Virtualization Station allows the TS-453Bmini, VMs and containers to share the same LAN port. No longer constrained by physical network performance, high-speed virtual switches greatly increases data transfer between VMs, containers and NAS through the internal interface. The TS-453Bmini also features Container Station, which integrates LXC and Docker® lightweight virtualization technologies. You can operate multiple isolated Linux® systems on the TS-453Bmini as well as download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry®. Container Station also supports the QIoT Containers platform that helps quickly structure your IoT environment and deployment of your private IoT cloud.
Use NAS to expand NAS capacity with Virtual JBOD
Besides using physical storage expansion enclosures, there is an additional option to expand NAS storage capacity. QNAP VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) is network-based JBOD, allowing you to expand storage of your QNAP NAS with multiple QNAP NAS units. You can mount iSCSI LUNs from a QNAP NAS to the TS-453Bmini as local disks, and create virtual storage pools and volumes for operating NAS applications.
