QNAP TS-h1887XU-RP 18-Bay NAS Enclosure

The high-capacity TS-h1887XU-RP 18-Bay NAS Enclosure from QNAP is powered by a next-gen 2.9 GHz Intel Xeon E-2336 6-Core processor, 32GB of DDR4 ECC memory (supports up to 128GB), and provides an HDD/SSD hybrid storage architecture that balances performance and cost to deliver reliable server-grade performance. Running the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system, the TS-h1887XU-RP emphasizes data integrity with inline data deduplication, near-limitless snapshots, real-time SnapSync, and QSAL (QNAP SSD Antiwear Leveling), providing an ideal storage solution that meets today s business requirements for file servers, virtualization servers, VDI, and backup/restore.

This unit has 18 SATA III 6 Gb/s drive bays, 12 of which natively support 3.5" hard drives, as well as 2.5" hard drives and SSDs, while the other six support 2.5" hard drives and SSDs. Should users need to expand the overall capacity of their TS-h1887XU-RP, two optional expansion units may be connected. When using six 25GbE ports, the TS-h1887XU-RP can deliver sequential reads of up to 9755 MB/s and sequential writes of up to 8874 MB/s.

Also featured are four USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, which allow it to be connected to external peripherals. Network connectivity is achieved via the two 10 Gigabit Ethernet or two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports with port trunking failover support, which helps to provide redundancy in the case that a LAN connection malfunction occurs on one port. If you re looking to expand this NAS, there are two PCIe Gen 4.0 slots that supports 10/25GbE network cards, QM2 cards for SSD caching, SATA storage expansion cards, and graphics cards.

The TS-h1887XU-RP runs on the QuTS hero 5.0.0 operating system, which combines the app-based QTS with the 128-bit ZFS file system to provide flexible storage management, comprehensive data protection, and optimized performance. Supported RAID modes include RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, Triple Mirror, and Triple Parity. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized.

QNAP has engineered the TS-h1887XU-RP to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer four 60mm fans to help keep the system running cool, the server supports numerous scheduled power on / off cycles and hard-drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses. The TS-h1887XU-RP operates using dual redundant 550W power supplies and includes an Ethernet cable, two power cords, 48 flat head screws for 3.5" HDDs, and 64 flat head screws for 2.5" HDDs. Protection is provided by a limited 3-year hardware warranty.

Powerful Intel Xeon E Processor and up to 128GB DDR4 ECC Memory

Designed for heavy business workloads, the TS-h1887XU-RP has extreme processing power to drive virtual machine performance. Supporting up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory to fuel multitasking demands, the TS-h1887XU-RP delivers cost-efficient and reliable server-grade performance to meet increasing business IT demands.

Hybrid Storage Architecture Optimized for SSD Cache Acceleration

Compared with traditional storage arrays, the TS-h1887XU-RP hybrid storage balances cost, performance, and capacity. Featuring twelve 3.5" SATA III 6Gb/s bays for hard drives and six 2.5" SATA III 6 Gb/s SSD slots, the TS-h1887XU-RP supports SSD caching to improve IOPS-intensive workloads for accessing vital data.

Hybrid Backup Sync - Multiple Backups Help Ensure Your Data Protection

Rest assured your data is safe with the 3-2-1 backup rule and a reliable disaster recovery plan. Backups stored in the QNAP NAS can be further backed up to another QNAP NAS, remote server, or cloud storage, and restored quickly whenever needed.

Data Reduction
Too much data, not enough time for backup? QuDedup technology empowers backup tasks with source-based deduplication to optimize file sizes for greater time and storage savings. Backup/recovery becomes much faster.

Versioning
The more versions you back up reduces the risk of data loss. QuDedup is especially useful for accelerating multi-version backups to provide greater protection against data loss.

Encryption
Files can be encrypted/compressed before they are backed up or synced. This effectively prevents unauthorized access and provides an extra layer of protection for business data.

Intelligent Network
Automatically selects the best physical network ports for your task, supports auto-failover to ensure continuous services, and automatically switches back once the best network port reconnects.

Process Automation
Set the backup process on each NAS, then multiple NAS can automatically complete all job flows. Whether migrating big data or backing up to multiple destinations, IT staff can ease their workloads with a one-time setting.

Server-Grade Hardware: Sturdy and High Performance

The TS-h1887XU-RP features outstanding hardware and expandable architecture, enabling optimal performance and flexibility to meet diverse application requirements, thanks to high-performance hybrid storage, a powerful processor and memory, high speed networking slots, and flexible expansion slots.

10GbE & 2.5GbE Ready - Fast for Bandwidth Demanding Tasks

The TS-h1887XU-RP provides two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports (backwards compatible with 1G/100M) and dual-port 10GBASE-T connectivity. Port Trunking and failover support further increase bandwidth and reliability for vital applications including virtualization, large file transfers, high-speed backup/restoration, and real-time applications. QNAP also offers numerous options of managed and unmanaged 10GbE/2.5GbE switches, assisting organizations in implementing high-speed, secure and scalable network environments without going over budget.

Multi-Version Snapshots Mitigate Ransomware Threats

The TS-h1887XU-RP supports block-based snapshots that record the state of the system at any time. It helps protect data, which can be restored back to a specific point of time, greatly helping in mitigating the threat of ransomware.

Up to 65,536 Snapshots
QuTS hero supports enough snapshots for you to create one snapshot every hour for seven years without needing to delete any. Copy-on-write technology makes snapshot creation almost instantaneous without affecting ongoing data writing.

Back Up Snapshots
Multiply data protection by backing up snapshot files. Replicate volume/LUN snapshots in the TS-h1887XU-RP to a remote NAS (Snapshot Replica) by copying only the changes made. This helps save time and bandwidth, and can be run manually or on a scheduled basis.

All-in-One Solution for Hosting Virtual Machines and Containers

By running multiple virtual machines and containers on the TS-h1887XU-RP, you can deploy multi-tenant environments and applications to increase management efficiency and save hardware costs. Coupled with the Network & Virtual Switch app that boosts interoperability between virtual machines, containers, QNAP NAS, and other physical devices on the network, you can flexibly allocate physical and virtual network resources to simplify network deployment.
