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 size 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 fail protection are simultaneously supported to boost performance and security.

• RAID Z enables 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) enhances data protection

  RAID-level SSD lifespan is automatically and regularly detected to prevent simultaneous SSD failure, improving your data protection and system reliability.

• App Center ecosystem extends NAS functionality

  Apps for backup/sync, virtual machines/containers, content management, productivity, and more features can be used to expand the application potential of the TS-h2490FU.

  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-h2490FU 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.

  More SSD performance and lifespan optimization technologies

  1. Write Coalescing

  Transforms all random writes to sequential writes along with reduced I/O, effectively increasing write performance in all-flash environments.

  2. 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.

  3. TRIM

  Allows QuTS hero to inform SSDs to delete unneeded data blocks and process the 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-h2490FU 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-h2490FU 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.

  High availability (HA) and failover with dual-NAS architecture

  Create a HA cluster with two TS-h2490FU — one as the active server, and the other as the passive server. If an unexpected failure or issue with the active server occurs, the passive server provides immediate protection with automatic failover. This ensures continuous storage service and system availability.

• Easy management and monitoring

  Use the High Availability Manager app to easily configure, remove, or rebuild clusters.

• Guaranteed data consistency

  Real-time data sync between active and passive servers minimizes the risk of data loss (RPO).

• Ensured continuity of critical business

  The passive server takes over within 1 minute if the active server fails (RTO < 60 secs).

  Run VMs and Containers

  With no additional fees, you can run multiple VMs of different OS on TS-h2490FU. This allows you to deploy multi-tenant environments and applications to increase management efficiency and save hardware costs.

  Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)

  By installing an SR-IOV compatible PCIe SmartNIC in the TS-h2490FU, you can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs. With traffic bypassing the Hypervisor vSwitch, it helps enhance I/O throughout and network efficiency, ensuring reliable VM applications and reduced CPU overheads.

  Standard 5-year warranty

  TS-h2490FU is backed by a 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.
