QNAP Partners with AMD to Launch 10GbE-ready 2.4GHz

Quad-core Pro­ces­sor TVS-863+ Gol­den Cloud Tur­bo vNAS

Tai­pei, Tai­wan, Janu­ary 5, 2015 – QNAP® Sys­tems, Inc. have part­ne­red with Advan­ced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD®), and announ­ced the release of the high-per­for­mance 10G­bE-rea­dy TVS-863+ and 4/6/8‑bay TVS-x63 Tur­bo vNAS series, with an AMD Embedded G‑Series quad-core 2.4GHz pro­ces­sor and a RAM modu­le expan­da­ble to 16GB. With high­ly-effi­ci­ent hard­ware encryp­ti­on, SSD cache acce­le­ra­ti­on, and advan­ced AMD Rade­on™ gra­phics, the TVS-x63+ series pro­vi­des an afforda­ble 10GbE uni­fied sto­rage solu­ti­on to safe­guard all stored con­tents and to pro­cess inten­si­ve tasks and high-qua­li­ty mul­ti­me­dia files.

QNAP is renow­ned for pro­vi­ding com­pre­hen­si­ve cut­ting-edge NAS solu­ti­ons with high-qua­li­ty fea­tures for users, and we feel very hono­red to coope­ra­te with QNAP to release the new TVS-x63+ series NAS, powered by AMD embedded solu­ti­ons,” said Scott Aylor, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, AMD Embedded Solu­ti­ons. “The AMD Embedded G‑Series SoC pro­vi­des high per­for­mance while being ener­gy effi­ci­ent and meets the requi­re­ments of a NAS desi­gned to deli­ver 24/7 con­ti­nuous and relia­ble services.”

Powered by an ener­gy-effi­ci­ent 64-bit AMD quad-core 2.4 GHz pro­ces­sor with 8GB/4GB fast DDR3L-1600 RAM (upgrada­ble to 16GB), cou­pled with the sup­port of SATA 6Gb/s, 2 Giga­bit LAN ports and 10GbE capa­bi­li­ty (the TVS-863+ has built in 10GbE), the TVS-x63+ series deli­vers remar­kab­le per­for­mance for mul­ti-tas­king busi­ness appli­ca­ti­ons. The hard­ware encryp­ti­on engi­ne pro­vi­des unmat­ched per­for­mance in its class with AES-256 bit full NAS volu­me encryp­ti­on, boos­ting sys­tem per­for­mance & secu­ri­ty while ensu­ring the safe­ty of con­fi­den­ti­al and sen­si­ti­ve data.

The TVS-x63+ series is solid­ly built with a sta­te-of-the-art design and top­ped off with a sty­lish gold finish for added distinc­tion. The Tur­bo vNAS with AMD quad-core pro­ces­sor per­forms out­stan­din­gly in file trans­fer effi­ci­en­cy, busi­ness and mul­ti­me­dia appli­ca­ti­ons, and more, while bri­ning 10GbE capa­bi­li­ties for bud­get-con­scious orga­niza­ti­ons and pro­fes­sio­nals,” said Y.T. Lee, vice pre­si­dent of QNAP.

With QvPC Tech­no­lo­gy, users can use the TVS-x63+ series as a PC by plug­ging in a key­board, mou­se, and HDMI moni­tor to direct­ly access data stored on the NAS, run mul­ti­ple appli­ca­ti­ons on Win­dows, Linux, UNIX, and Android-based VMs, surf the web with mul­ti­l­in­gu­al key­board input, watch 1080p vide­os with up to 7.1 chan­nel audio with XBMC, moni­tor the sur­veil­lan­ce live feeds from IP came­ras in real time, and much more.

The TVS-x63+ series also sup­ports 4K Ultra HD out­put for use with QvPC Tech­no­lo­gy. Users can con­nect the NAS ser­ver to a 4K UHD moni­tor via HDMI to take advan­ta­ge of 4K’s impec­ca­ble image detail for increased pro­duc­ti­vi­ty. “With 4K Ultra HD sup­port TVS-x63+ series models are an excep­tio­nal choice for ver­sa­ti­le appli­ca­ti­ons and working sce­na­ri­os. Pho­to­graph­ers can view shar­per and clea­rer high-reso­lu­ti­on images, and users can get a big­ger workspace with one moni­tor when mana­ging vir­tu­al machi­nes,” added Lee.

The TVS-x63+ series lever­a­ges AMD‑V vir­tua­liza­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy for ope­ra­ting mul­ti­ple VMs with the QNAP’s exclu­si­ve Vir­tua­liza­ti­on Sta­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy. In addi­ti­on, VMware®, Micro­soft® and Citrix® vir­tua­liza­ti­on solu­ti­ons are sup­port­ed to sim­pli­fy vir­tu­al sto­rage manage­ment and to faci­li­ta­te vir­tua­liza­ti­on applications.

The TVS-x63+ series includes more anti­ci­pa­ted fea­tures for a bet­ter audio-visu­al expe­ri­ence, inclu­ding hard­ware-acce­le­ra­ted trans­co­ding that enables supe­ri­or real-time Full HD video trans­co­ding to con­vert vide­os to for­mats that can be smooth­ly play­ed on PCs, mobi­le devices and Smart TVs; off­line trans­co­ding for kee­ping pre-ren­de­red lower reso­lu­ti­on vide­os to smooth­ly play even with limi­t­ed band­width; dual HDMI out­puts that allows users to con­nect to two moni­tors or TVs for simul­ta­neous playback.

The sca­lable TVS-x63+ series allows users to con­nect up to two QNAP expan­si­on enclo­sures (UX-800P or UX-500P) to increase the total sto­rage capa­ci­ty to 192TB (varies by models) with advan­ced design of mul­ti­ple volu­mes and sto­rage pools. The tower expan­si­on enclo­sures offer SMBs bud­get-fri­end­ly opti­ons to expand their sto­rage capa­ci­ty to ful­fill sto­rage-inten­si­ve applications.
