Expanding NAS capacity normally requires dedicated expansion enclosures. With the Virtual JBOD (VJOB) feature, unused storage space of a TS-x31X series NAS can be used to expand the capacity of other QNAP NAS units. You can create virtual storage pools and volumes directly on the TS-x31X and use them as you would with a local machine. You can also expand the size of the virtual storage pool for centralized use and management via the same interface. With a NAS serving as both a workstation and expansion unit, the TS-x31X is the most cost-effective choice for users.

Energy-efﬁcient dual or quad-core processor and hardware encryption engine

Available in 4, 5, and 8-bay models, the TS-x31X series offers a full range of NAS solutions with built-in 10GbE SFP+ network ports. The TS-531X and TS-831X feature a low-power, high-performance Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-314 quad-core 1.7 GHz processor. The TS-431X features the Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-212 dual-core 1.7 GHz processor and provides 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB DDR3 memory options. The hardware encryption engine of the TS-x31X series provides remarkable data access speeds when using AES-256-bit encryption (the TS-831X can reach up to 472MB/s), maintaining high system efﬁciency while protecting sensitive documents.

Supports 10GbE networks, enabling bandwidth-demanding applications

TS-x31X series has built-in 10GbE SFP+ network ports (TS-431X: 1 x 10GbE, TS-531X/TS-831X: 2 x 10GbE). In addition, the TS-531X and TS-831X can be upgraded with an extra 10GbE PCIe single-port network expansion card to provide up to three additional 10GbE ports. TS-x31X supports a variety of Port Trunking modes. In addition to bandwidth integration, network transmission acceleration, it also provides network fault tolerance to ensure continuous service. It meets the needs of enterprise for high-bandwidth operations such as ﬁle access, backup and recovery.

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

10GbE networking, while providing high transfer rates, used to involve expensive and limited choices of networking hardware. High costs in deploying 10GbE networks, in particular, prevented many business owners from immediate adoption. Now, as the 10GbE high-speed connectivity continues to evolve and the technology to accommodate bandwidth-heavy tasks has matured, there has been a significant drop in the hardware prices. All the models in the TS-x31X series have built-in 10GbE ports, enabling SMB to enjoy the beneﬁts of high performance networks at lower costs.

Drive multiple applications and boost business productivity with 10GbE

10GbE enables various data-intensive applications and helps businesses to meet the increasing demands for bandwidth-intensive ﬁle transmission and backup tasks. Use the cost-effective TS-x31X with a 10GbE switch to instantly construct the corporate high-speed networking environment. Or, use the TS-x31X with a Wireless AP or a router to build a workstation which allows direct connection or Wi-Fi transfer.

SSD caching

TS-x31X supports SSD caching to enhance IOPS performance and accelerate disk access, increasing system operation efﬁciency. It is especially suitable for applications that require high IOPS performance. By combing SSDs and HDDs, system performance is increased in a cost-efﬁcient manner.

VJBOD to maximize storage utilization

With VJBOD (Virtual JBOD), you can share the storage space of a TS-x31X with another QNAP NAS as if it were a local machine. By using the iSCSI network protocol, VJBOD can create a stable high-speed storage space with its built-in 10GbE and Port Trunking technology. VJBOD features excellent fault mitigation features and can automatically recover and re-connect from failure. Easy set-up, quick setup in one interface, one-click activation, one-step to use.

The remote QNAP NAS must support iSCSI services and stor-

age pools, and it is recommended to upgrade the ﬁrmware to QTS 4.2.1 (or later).
