that there is no idle HDD for the maximized
utilization of the storage resources.
Storage Pool
IT administrators can aggregate multiple RAID
groups into a big storage pool to exibly utilize
the storage capacity as a whole, protect them
using redundancy and allowing for better
protection against multiple disk failures for
large-capacity environments. Multiple volumes
can now be created on the Storage Pool to
provide exible deployment.

Flexible Volume
Allocation
QTS 4.1.3 allows creating multiple volumes on
the Storage Pool for various applications in
typical business environments with different
workgroups. Each data volume and LUN can
be extended up to 250TB without interrupting
services.
Thin provisioning
Over-allocation allows a server to view more storage
capacity than has been allocated in the storage pool.
Furthermore, the physical storage capacity is used
only when les are written by the application, thereby
improving utilization rates.
Thick provisioning
The physical storage capacity is dedicated up front when the
storage volume is initially allocated.
Efficiently use storage spaces with incremental allocation. Allocate all spaces specified and they cannot be used
by other volumes or LUNs.

iSCSI LUN
QTS 4.1.3 supports two types of LUNs for ecient storage utilization: block-level and le-level iSCSI LUNs. The Turbo NAS also
supports multiple types of congurations for server connections:
- Single LUN or multiple LUNs per iSCSI target.
- Multiple iSCSI targets for a single LUN, only used for clustered environments
Block-Level iSCSI LUN
Besides storing data, volumes can be utilized as an iSCSI LUN. The block-level iSCSI LUN provides less overhead which improves
the overall read/write performance.
File-Level iSCSI LUN
Users can consider le-level iSCSI LUNs if there isn’t enough space for block-level iSCSI LUNs. The le-level iSCSI LUN can be
used for creating a disk image for an iSCSI LUN.
Both block-level and file-level iSCSI LUNs support thin provisioning, space reclamation, and online capacity
expansion. We recommend using block-level iSCSI LUNs unless there is a limitation on space usage.
Virtual Disk Drive -
Virtual disks provide a more flexible way for IT
administrators to expand storage. By using the
built-in iSCSI initiator to connect an iSCSI target
of the Turbo NAS, you can create a virtual disk
on the local server. The Turbo NAS can be a stack
master to connect up to 8 virtual disks or stack
targets, aggregating storage space from multiple
NAS systems. Thus, all NAS users only need to
connect to a single target to access the space
from all of the network storage devices.
For every virtual disk on the local server, it
will be seen as a single drive of disk arrays.

QNAP high-performance unied and tiered storage solutions
Data used by businesses continues to grow exponentially and with greater diversity in data types and importance. It is
imperative to oer a secure and ecient storage solution that can process this enormous amount of data while minimizing the
total cost of ownership.
Establishing a tired storage system based on efficiency and capacity can aid in improving overall processing efficiency.
Businesses can classify data accordingly by sharing folders with a le-based storage system and processing les that require
more demanding data throughput with a block-based storage system to accommodate dierent usage models.
QNAP Turbo NAS business series can exibly congure dierent tiers to hard drives on a single unit according to dierent data
usage needs, delivering the best unied and tiered storage solution.
Tiered storage for better eciency
In the cloud era, businesses need a storage architecture that can provide rapid access to dynamically scalable and virtualized IT
resources. Classifying data into Hot Data (frequently-accessed) and Cold Data (rarely-accessed) to store them in a tiered storage
can help achieve this goal eciently and cost eectively. Businesses often use SSD to improve the overall workow of random
IOPS demanding applications such as databases and virtualization. Different types of storage media are used for different
purposes. Hence, it is better to utilize dierent storage media according to the system requirements.

QNAP's Unique Transcoding Technology
Every year many SMBs produce hundreds of promotional videos for marketing purposes. However, due to
the increasing use of HD videos (720p, 1080p), video files are becoming increasingly large in size and can
use lots of network bandwidth to share or play them over a network.
Transcode Management
With the popularity of high-definition
smartphones and digital cameras, video
resolutions are getting higher. A higher
resolution means larger file sizes and more
bandwidth needed to stream it. Transcoding
creates videos with optimal resolutions
for sharing & watching in order to save
bandwidth, but also retains the unaltered
original video on the Turbo NAS.
Smart transcoding adapts to suit dierent bandwidth
The Turbo NAS Series provides a range of resolutions to play/share videos according to different bandwidth limits. Higher
resolutions need more bandwidth, and you can select the right resolution for your network environment to get the best viewing
experience.

The Turbo NAS fully supports oine background transcoding for 4K (H.264) videos. Just add videos to the transcoding list and use
the Turbo NAS to convert the original high-resolution video for use with multiple resolutions. Then you can select an appropriate
resolution when sharing or watching to match your device or network environment.
Auto transcoding
When you set a folder on the Turbo NAS to be an autotranscoding folder, videos added to it will be automatically
converted to a resolution you have set. For example, if you
set the folder to 360p, videos added to this folder will be
automatically transcoded to 360p as a background task .
On-the-fly transcoding
If you have many high-resolution videos, but did not transcode in advance, you can
use on-the-y transcoding. This will adapt to meet bandwidth limits, with the Turbo
NAS transcoding in real time for directly watching the video.
Embed subtitles
By selecting the Embed Subtitles option in the Transcode Management function,
you can embed subtitles to a video when converting a video to any resolution. The
subtitles will then be displayed when a video is played on whatever device you are
using.
Hardware-accelerated transcoding technology
With Intel® HD Graphics, video creation & conversion is faster, easier and can signicantly reduce the time needed when handling
multiple on-the-y transcoding tasks.
