One Built-in 10GbE SFP+ port

Energy-efficient quad-core processor and encryption engine

TS-431X2 offers a full range of NAS solutions with one built-in 10GbE SFP+ network port and 2GB/8GB DDR3 memory options
(expandable up to 8GB). TS-431X2 features a low-power, high-performance Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-314 quad-core 1.7
GHz processor, which boosts read performance by approximately 15% compared with the AL-212 dual-core processor. The
encryption engine of TS-431X2, with performance enhancements from the previous series, provides remarkable data access
speeds when using AES-256-bit encryption, maintaining high system efficiency while protecting sensitive documents.

The moment to adopt 10GbE high-speed networking has arrived

10GbE enables various data-intensive applications and helps businesses to meet the increasing demands for bandwidth­intensive file transmission and backup tasks. However, 10GbE networking, while providing high transfer rates, used to involve
expensive and limited choices of networking hardware. As the 10GbE high-speed connectivity continues to evolve and the
technology to accommodate bandwidth-heavy tasks has matured, the hardware prices have significantly gone down, creating
an excellent opportunity for SMBs to adopt high performance networks at lower costs.
