QuTS hero Operating System
ZFS-Based Performance for 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 and virtualization to collaborative media workflows, QuTS hero streamlines your business-critical tasks.
QuTS hero's self-healing ensures data integrity and reliability. Write Once, Read Many (WORM) functionality is also supported.
Data Reduction for Improved Storage Efficiency
Inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction functions 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, boosting performance and security.
RAID Z for Robust Data Protection
Multiple RAID levels allow flexible capacity utilization. RAID Triple Parity and Triple Mirror deliver higher levels of data protection.
QSAL (QNAP SSD Antiwear Leveling)
RAID-level SSD lifespan is automatically and regularly detected to prevent simultaneous SSD failure, improving your data protection and system reliability.
Use the App Center to extend functionality of your NAS. Apps for backup and sync, virtual machines and containers, content management, productivity, and more features can be used to expand the application potential of the NAS.
QuTS hero supports advanced block-based data reduction technologies including inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction, allowing you 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%.
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.
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.
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.
Files can be encrypted and compressed before they are backed up or synced. This effectively prevents unauthorized access and provides an extra layer of protection for business data.
Intelligent networking 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.
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.
Comprehensive Backup and Disaster Recovery
The TS-h2287XU-RP supports various apps that cover all your backup needs. Practice safe IT habits by regularly backing up files and device content, allowing them to be easily restored when needed.
Enjoy license-free VMware and Hyper-V VM backup with source-side incremental backup, global deduplication, and recovery compression.
Safeguard enterprise cloud data by backing up and syncing files, emails, calendars, and contacts from Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365 to the NAS.
Hybrid Backup Sync supports mainstream cloud storage for NAS data backup. For backup to object cloud storage, VJBOD Cloud is especially useful to reduce bandwidth usage and backup time.
Hybrid Backup Sync eliminates redundant data at the source and then backs up the deduplicated data, helping to save time and storage costs while providing efficient multi-version backups.
Real-time SnapSync immediately synchronizes data changes with the destination storage, ensuring the primary and secondary NAS always have the same data. RPO is minimal to achieve real-time disaster recovery.
The TS-h2287XU-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.
QuTS hero supports enough snapshots for you to create 1 snapshot every hour for 7 years without needing to delete any. Copy-on-write technology makes snapshot creation almost instantaneous without affecting ongoing data writing.
Multiply data protection by backing up snapshot files. Replicate volume and LUN snapshots in the TS-h2287XU-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.
Take advantage of Docker, LXD, and Kata Containers lightweight virtualization technologies, download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry, import or export containers, and create abundant microservices.
