QNAP TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP is the world's first unified NAS supporting Auto Tiering to deliver ongoing optimization of data across high-performance SSD, 12Gbps SAS drives and high-capacity SATA disks. Powered by an Intel Xeon E3 CPU, the 40GbE-ready TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP delivers exceptional performance and supports cross-platform file sharing, comprehensive backup solutions, iSCSI & virtualization applications, and more practical business functions. With the powerful QTS operating system, the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP performs as a reliable, scalable and unbeatable unified and tiered storage solution for businesses.

SSD cache acceleration The TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP features 2 pre-installed 128GB mSATA modules, and there are no limits on using SSDs for caching. By installing high-performance SSDs, the IOPS performance of storage volumes can remarkably boost. It is perfect for improving overall workflow of random IOPS demanding applications such as database and virtualization. The internal cache port design reserves the space of hard drive tray for more storage capacity.

Removable motherboard drawer for easy maintenance With the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP's removable motherboard drawer, IT administrators have easier access in upgrading/installing RAM, the internal cache, 40GbE adapter and other components. The motherboard itself can be removed and replaced without needing to remove the heavy TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP from the rack cabinet, making it especially useful in maintaining the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP in data centers with multiple rack cabinets.

Enable Auto Tiering with Qtier Technology QNAP’s Qtier Technology empowers the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP with Auto Tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency. With Auto Tiering, the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP can automatically move hot data to high-performance storage tiers and cold data to lower-cost, higher-capacity drives, making the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP an extremely efficient shared resource. Businesses will no longer have to invest heavily in expensive Flash technology, but can still enjoy exceptional application performance and lower TCO of storage from Auto Tiering with the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP.

Get ready for 40GbE to your TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP The TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP offers four inbuilt Gigabit Ethernet ports and supports 10 Gigabit high speed network by installing 10GbE network adapter. If 10GbE is insufficient for some workloads, the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP supports Mellanox® ConnectX-3 Pro adapter cards with 10/40/56 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to deliver the most cost-effective computing and storage Ethernet Interconnection solution. It helps achieve significantly higher throughput for high-performance embedded I/O applications and virtualization acceleration. Businesses can greatly benefit from the fast, flexible storage network of the 40GbE-ready TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP for boosting their mission-critical IT performance.

Run multiple operating systems on the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP The Virtualization Station transforms the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP into a 2-in-a-box NAS that can function as an all-in-one NAS and a virtualization platform supporting multiple operating systems, fast virtual machine (VM) creation, VM backup & restoration, VM import/export, snapshot, and enables desktop operations in web browsers. With an easy-to-use interface, you can centrally manage every VM created on the TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP with minimal effort. You can download VMs on demand from online VM markets and import them to TVS-EC1580MU-SAS-RP to use directly without any complex procedures.
