It is better to buy 9-bay than 6-bay! The best value choice among AMD Ryzen NAS in its class
The QuTS hero operating system uses the ZFS file system to ensure performance and data integrity.
The QuTS hero operating system not only retains QTS's well-received App Center application ecosystem, but also integrates the powerful 128-bit ZFS file system, which combines the advantages of ultra-flexible capacity management, perfect data protection mechanism, and performance optimization. Adapt to business-critical applications with increasingly large and complex data volumes. Whether it is storage management, virtualization applications, or audio and video workflow, using QuTS hero will be more convenient.
Online data duplication deletion, compression and compaction, essential for storage in the era of big data
QuTS hero supports powerful block-based real-time data reduction technology, including Inline Data Deduplication* (Inline Data Deduplication), Inline Compression and Inline Compaction, making large files smaller. Save storage space. For example, if 20 virtual machines on the NAS are replicated using the same template, the storage space required for all 20 virtual machines will be reduced by up to 95%. The TS-h973AX keeps the available storage space in an optimized state at all times. Whether used as primary storage or a backup machine, it is the best storage backing in the big data era where the amount of data is growing rapidly.
*Online data deduplication requires at least 16 GB of memory. The TS-h973AX-32G model is shipped with 32 GB of memory, allowing all functions to be enabled directly.
Real-time SnapSync enables instant disaster recovery capabilities
Real-time SnapSync real-time snapshot synchronization function allows every new data written to the primary NAS to be immediately synchronized to the backup NAS, allowing the primary NAS and backup NAS to achieve 1:1 complete data synchronization. Once the primary NAS fails, administrators only need to adjust the permission settings of the backup NAS and it can be activated immediately without any loss of data. The RPO time is the shortest and the most complete and immediate disaster recovery mechanism is provided.
