ZFS-Based QuTS hero Operating System Enhances NAS Performance and Data Integrity
QuTS hero combines the app-based QTS with the 128-bit ZFS file system to provide flexible storage management, comprehensive data protection, and optimized performance to tackle the complexity and performance demands of modern IT. From storage management, virtualization, to collaborative media workflows, QuTS hero streamlines your business-critical tasks.
Data Integrity Is Key
QuTS hero's self-healing ensures data integrity and reliability. Write Once, Read Many (WORM) is also supported.
Data Reduction Improves Storage Efficiency and Performance
Inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction reduce file sizes to conserve storage capacity and optimize performance.
Multi-Level Cache Technology
Main memory read cache (L1 ARC), SSD second-level read cache (L2 ARC), and ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) for synchronous transactions with power failure protection are supported to boost performance and security.
QSAL (QNAP SSD Antiwear Leveling) Enhances Data Protection
RAID-level SSD lifespan is automatically and regularly detected to prevent simultaneous SSD failure, improving your data protection and system reliability.
Inline Data Deduplication, Compression, and Compaction Improve SSD Endurance
QuTS hero supports advanced block-based data reduction technologies (including inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction) to reduce file sizes, conserve storage capacity, and optimize performance. For example, if 20 virtual machines on a NAS are replicated using the same template, then storage space requirements for all 20 virtual machines can be reduced by up to 95%. Whether acting as primary or backup storage, the TS-h3077AFU optimizes storage utilization to provide a reliable storage cornerstone in the Big Data era. All-flash solutions thus achieve higher cost efficiency while improving both random write performance and SSD lifespan.
Additional Technologies for Optimizing SSD Performance and Lifespan
Write Coalescing
Transforms all random writes to sequential writes along with reduced I/O, effectively increasing write performance in all-flash environments.
Pool Over-Provisioning
Dedicated space can be flexibly reserved in an SSD storage pool to allow new data to be written into a complete block even if the pool is almost full, thus improving the performance of fragmented pools.
TRIM
Informs SSDs to delete unneeded data blocks and processes deletion tasks during system idle times, meaning it does not have to wait for when new data is written to the block.
Real-Time SnapSync Ensures Minimal RPO with Real-Time Disaster Recovery
Real-time SnapSync ensures that both the primary and secondary NAS maintain identical data. When data is written to the source, it is immediately written to the destination. If the primary NAS goes offline, IT staff can simply adjust the privilege settings of the secondary NAS to ensure continuous operations. SnapSync provides the strongest support for nonstop business operations and helps users to reduce the risk of data loss.
The TS-h3077AFU also supports snapshots and remote backup to help organizations accomplish routine backup tasks cost-effectively and efficiently.
Snapshots Multiply Backup Protection
Attain peace of mind with near-limitless, instant snapshots. Copy-on-write technology makes snapshot creation almost instantaneous without affecting ongoing data writing. Snapshot Replica replicates snapshot files to the backup NAS, simplifying data protection with version control.
HBS Simplifies 3-2-1 Backup Plans
HBS centralizes backup, restoration, and synchronization for easily transferring data in the TS-h3077AFU to another QNAP NAS, remote server, or cloud storage space. HBS supports QuDedup technology that eliminates redundant data at the source and makes multi-version backup faster.
License-Free VMware and Hyper-V Backup Appliance
With Hyper Data Protector, the TS-h3077AFU becomes an agentless backup tool for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V VM backup. Hyper Data Protector features incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling, and recovery compression. Hyper Data Protector also simultaneously backs up multiple VMs, providing you with a cost-effective and reliable disaster recovery plan, ensuring 24/7 operation of your services.
Move Business Data to the Cloud and Enjoy Low Latency Access to Cloud-Based Data
The TS-h3077AFU integrates NAS with mainstream cloud services. By deploying cloud storage gateways and enabling local caching, organizations can seamlessly use the cloud for storage, backup, and data recovery with low-latency access. This greatly helps in realizing cost-effective, flexible, and secure hybrid cloud applications.
HybridMount File-Based Cloud Gateway
Flexibly expand storage capacity by connecting to cloud storage. You can leverage QuTS hero apps to manage and edit your cloud files or multimedia files. HybridMount is ideal for file server online collaboration and file-level data analysis.
VJBOD Cloud Block-Based Cloud Gateway
VJBOD Cloud supports streamlined NAS backup to object cloud storage. The block-based data transmission uploads random data and large files to the cloud in blocks, and only transmits block-based volume or LUN changes (such as addition, modification, or deletion). This is ideal for enterprise-level applications with large file transfer requirements, such as databases, VM volumes, and videos.
Reliable, High-Performance Storage for Virtualization
The TS-h3077AFU supports block-based iSCSI LUN as a reliable, high-performance, and affordable storage solution for mainstream virtualization environments. It supports VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX to increase performance by offloading server loading for ESXi server and Hyper-V respectively.
Build an Affordable Fiber Channel SAN Environment
Common Fiber Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing QNAP dual-port 16Gb/32Gb Fiber Channel expansion cards in the TS-h3077AFU, you have more budget-friendly options to add a NAS to a SAN environment. You can set a Fiber Channel Target using the iSCSI & Fiber Channel app. Moreover, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an additional layer of data security.
Limited 5-Year Warranty
The TS-h3077AFU is backed by a limited 5-year warranty at no extra cost. This premier warranty demonstrates QNAP's dedication to your essential business needs for continuous operations and non-interrupted services.
