QNAP® Systems, Inc. today announced the release of the new enterprise-class rackmount TVS-ECx80U-SAS R2 and TS-ECx80U R2 NAS series. Both series include two built-in SFP+ based 10GbE ports while keeping the same price tag as the previous TVS-ECx80U-SAS/TS-ECx80U series. The TS-ECx80U R2 series also includes models featuring an Intel® Core™ i3 3.5 GHz processor and 8GB DDR3 or 4GB DDR3 ECC RAM, providing businesses with more options to satisfy demands for higher-speed Ethernet solutions.

The TVS-ECx80U-SAS R2 series is equipped with a powerful Xeon® E3-1246 v3 3.5 GHz processor and 16GB DDR3 non-ECC or 8GB DDR3 ECC RAM. The TS-ECx80U R2 series provides models powered by an Intel® Xeon® E3-1246 v3 3.5 GHz processor and 4GB DDR3 ECC RAM, and further adds options with an Intel® Core™ i3 3.5 GHz processor and 8GB DDR3 non-ECC or 4GB DDR3 ECC RAM. Both new NAS series offers not only four inbuilt Gigabit Ethernet ports but also two 10GbE SFP+ ports to fully support 10GbE high-speed networks, making them beneficial for IOPS-demanding applications such as virtualization, databases, high-resolution video editing, and sharing workflows.

“The adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet has been more gradual, so we have launched the advanced TVS-ECx80U-SAS R2 and TS-ECx80U R2 NAS series that include 10GbE SFP+ ports for businesses to immediately enjoy 10GbE network connectivity without purchasing additional accessories,” said David Tsao, Product Manager of QNAP. Being 10GbE-ready, both new series support Qtier (Storage Auto-tiering), SSD caching, excellent cross-platform file sharing, iSCSI-SAN and virtualization, as well as feature-rich business applications including Virtualization Station for hosting VMs, Container Station for containerized virtualization, and Qsirch, the near real-time NAS search engine. The new series can fully satisfy mission-critical storage needs, delivering persistent throughput to balance resource-demanding applications.
