Datasheet

The QNAP Business Series Turbo
NAS is a virtualization-aware storage
solution which supports VMware
vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix
XenServer. QNAP vSphere plug-in and
QNAP SMI-S provider highly increase
the productivity and efficiency.
Datastore for VMware
• VAAI for iSCSI, VAAI for NAS
VMware vStorage APIs Integration (VAAI) is a set of APIs that allow ESXi
hosts to offload processing for certain storage-related services to storage
systems. The integration of QNAP NAS with VMware VAAI offers the
optimal performance for customers to deploy a virtualization environment.
The QNAP NAS, VAAI iSCSI and VAAI NAS are VMware certified.
Businesses can either select iSCSI or NFS as a centralized storage to boost
performance. VAAI for iSCSI supports Full Copy (hardware-assisted copy),
Block Zeroing (hardware-assisted zeroing), Hardware-assisted Locking,
and Thin Provisioning with Space Reclaim. VAAI for NAS supports Full File
Clone, Extended Statistics, and Reserve Space.
The QNAP NAS uniquely supports VAAI iSCSI and VAAI NAS to enhance
storage performance up to 75% in a virtualized environment.
• Enhanced Performance by VAAI
Storage for Microsoft Hyper-V
• ODX(Offloaded Data Transfer )
With Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) support, the QNAP Turbo NAS
becomes a high performance iSCSI storage solution under Windows
Server 2012, including Hyper-V virtualized environment. QNAP storages
enable full copies of virtual machines within the NAS without requiring
the Windows hosts to read and write the data. This highly reduces the
loading of Windows hosts and improves the performance of copy and
move operations for Windows 2012 hosts using the QNAP iSCSI storage.
When providing QNAP storage to a Windows 2012 file server, the end
user using Windows 8 client workstation will also benefit from the
Offloaded copy process for large file transfers.
Storage for Virtualization
10 Gigabit Ethernet Storage Solution for the Virtualized
Data Center
The QNAP Business Series Turbo NAS supports optional 10GbE
adaptor, including SFP+ and 10G Base-T interface. The 10 Gb speed
increases the agility of data transmission in a virtualized environment,
intensifying NFS and iSCSI connection performance, and enables
more VMs with multiple transactions running concurrently without
performance penalty.
• NAS Management via SCVMM
The QNAP SMI-S provider enables management of the QNAP Turbo NAS
directly through Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012
(SCVMM).
• vSphere Plug-in
The vSphere plug-in allows users to manage the QNAP Turbo NAS
directly on the vSphere client, making datastore management more
effective.
