Virtualization technology is normally solely used in enterprise IT environments, but with the growing needs of a
digital office, virtualization is slowly becoming part of our everyday applications. For example, in the office when
users want to print out the documents stored on their Turbo vNAS but only have a printer with Windows®-only
drivers, they would need to startup their PC just for this simple task.

Budget-friendly QNAP Turbo vNAS for cloud computing
To meet the growing demand of cloud computing, solution providers offer a variety of services to their customers. Customers can
leverage computing or application services with cloud computing in lieu of system maintenance and configuration. However, public
cloud services can have shortcomings. Complying with high standards of security and evolving regulations as well as controlling longterm operating costs are among the major concerns of public cloud services. Most cloud computing pricing depends on the amount of
resources consumed such as computing power and a subscription period. The integrated Virtualization Station of QNAP Turbo vNAS can
help your enterprise develop a cost-effective strategy with the aforementioned unified storage to manage and store your data, potentially
maximizing storage capabilities per TB. It is the industry´s best private cloud architecture to counterbalance the disadvantages of public
cloud services.

Streamlined installation： No complicated procedures
￭
necessary to install your NAS.
After purchasing a NAS, users usually install firmware from an installation disc and search for the NAS on
their network, or log into the NAS manufacturer's website to complete the installation process. For users
without relevant networking knowledge, this installation process may be diffcult. Some users decide to
purchase other external storage devices that can be instantly access (such as USB hard drives). However,
these devices are "islands of information" that can only be accessed by the computer they are connected
to. These storage solutions also have no protection against failure, and can be easily lost.
QNAP Turbo vNAS is an ideal solution for storing data. With QvPC Technology users only need to plug in
a HDMI monitor, keyboard, mouse and follow on-screen instructions to complete their NAS installation.
Even users without any network knowledge can easily set up and install a NAS. All files stored on a NAS
are protected with RAID technology and are accessible via the Internet anytime.

iSCSI LUN
￭
QTS 4.1.2 supports two types of LUN for efcient storage utilization: block-level and le-level iSCSI LUN. The
TVS-x63+ series 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 file-level iSCSI LUN if there isn´t enough space for block-level iSCSI LUN. The file-level iSCSI
LUN can be used for creating a disk image for an iSCSI LUN.
Both block-level and file-level iSCSI LUN support thin provisioning, space reclaim, and online capacity
expansion. We recommend using block-level iSCSI LUN unless there is a limitation on space usage.
Virtual Disk Drive -
￭
Virtual Disks provide a more exible way
for IT administrators to expand storage.
By using the built-in iSCSI initiator to
connect an iSCSI target of the TVS-x63+,
you can create a virtual disk on the local
server. The TVS-x63+ 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.

QNAP high-performance unified and tiered storage solution
￭
Data used by enterprises continues to grow exponentially and with greater diversity in data types and
importance. It is imperative to offer a secure and efcient storage solution that can process this enormous
amount of data while minimizing the total cost of ownership.
Establishing a tired storage system based on efciency and capacity can aid in improving overall processing
efficiency. Enterprises can classify data accordingly by sharing folders with a file-based storage system
and processing files that require more demanding data throughput with a block-based storage system to
accommodate different usage models.
The TVS-x63+ Series can exibly congure different tiers to hard drives on a single unit according to different
data usage needs, delivering the best unied and tiered storage solution.
Tiered storage for better efficiency

In the cloud era, enterprises 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 efciently and cost effectively.
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 different storage media according to the system requirements.

Q'center CMS
Q'center CMS
Previously, IT administrators need to log in to Turbo NAS units individually to check their status. The
QNAP Q'center CMS (Central Management System) offers a platform to centrally manage multiple
NAS units. You only need to install Q'center on the master NAS and set all other Turbo NAS units as
managed stations. You can also monitor and update firmware for all Turbo NAS units at once with this
centralized management utility.
(Central Management System)
Q'center Network Architecture
In order to use Q'center to monitor multiple Turbo NAS units, you have to set up the master Turbo vNAS and other
managed devices in the same network environment. QTS 4.1.2 provides the VPN server and VPN client function, making
it easy for IT managers to establish the internal network architecture for Q´center deployment. Just set the master
device as a VPN server and other devices the VPN clients, and the internal network environment will be established by

Q'center presents aggregate reports of all Turbo NAS units based on the characteristics of a NAS system or its
components such as models and disk capacity, helping you keep track of all your storage assets.It also allows
IT administrators to configure the same system settings across multiple NAS units, significantly reducing
configuration time and effort. Available configurations encompass general system settings from network to
domain security and network services.
￭ Enhance system availability
Q'center has an email notification function to notify
administrators of any predened system conditions. You
can set up alert policies based on the criteria such as
CPU usage or volume usage for a group of selected NAS
units, and you will be alerted if any one of the criteria of a
policy is met.
Increase storage utilization rate
￭
IT administrators can monitor capacity usage on every
Turbo NAS to gain information about space utilization.
They can better allocate storage resources based on
the information to maximize the utilization rate on each
Turbo NAS.
Enhance reliability and serviceability
￭
By monitoring CPU, memory usage and other performance indicators on a daily or long-term basis (e.g.
monthly or yearly), you will gain a complete view of how well the system performs. You can also analyze
how certain tasks (such as download, le conversion, or encryption) affect the overall system performance.
Furthermore, IT administrators can check system performance anytime to help them redistribute tasks or
loads among NAS units or upgrade their systems if they nd differences in performance.
The report function can generate a series of charts and graphs that display system information to help IT
administrators proactively plan system upgrades and respond to system failures or degradation, as well as
evaluate how effective the storage is used. Statistics collected can be kept for an entire year for capacity
planning.
