Overview
In the era of big data, there is a wealth of data generated and exchanged by the billion of devices on the Internet of Everything (IoE) and across hybrid cloud devices. The rampant data growth requires increasingly exible storage solutions that will ensure business continuity. QNAP has strived to provide enterprises and SMBs with the facilities and tools to attain storage services to meet the ever­growing capacity demand and results in reduced overall operation risks and costs.
Besides managing data growth, another major challenge for an organization is its ability to keep existing data available and protected in the event of a disaster or system failure. QNAP’s exible storage solutions incorporate features such as tiered storage, snapshots, thin provisioning, and LUN backup to better match specic business requirements and cope with disastrous situations.
The QNAP 12Gbps SAS is more reliable and has better storage I/O performance than the 6G model. Furthermore, it is backward compatible with 6Gbps SAS HDDs. Our 12Gbps JBOD Expansion enclosures not only strengthen the organization’s disaster recovery system but also satisfy the growing need to expand storage capacity at different stages as organizations seek to adapt to more demanding business environments.
QNAP NAS has demonstrated its ability to oer a complete product portfolio that ts for every SMB and small to medium enterprise, including a wide range of hard disk models and iSCSI SAN solutions.

Unied Storage management and data protection
A converged management platform combining cloud and tiered storage technology
In addition to existing storage management and backup functions, the new Snapshot and Backup Versioning help you improve data security while lowering storage expenses. By integrating public cloud storage and backup services, your QNAP NAS is a converged storage management platform oering on-premise, private, osite, and cloud services.
Intelligent Storage Manager - Unied storage management
The QTS Storage Manager neatly presents tools and options for managing system storage with an intuitive graphical interface. From reviewing the system storage allocation in the Dashboard, to managing volumes, Storage Pools, disks and iSCSI storage, or even the new Snapshot function, the Storage Manager provides a centralized place to simplify hard drive management and to maximize storage usage.

Storage management
IT administrators can monitor HDD allocation status for RAID groups in addition to individual HDD information. This ensures that there are no idle HDDs, maximizing utilization of the storage resources. IT administrators can aggregate multiple RAID groups into a single storage pool to flexibly utilize the storage capacity as a whole and protect them using redundancy, 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.
Volume
QTS 4.2 supports the creation of multiple volumes within a Storage Pool. View all available storage pools, volumes, and iSCSI LUNs on the same screen including comprised RAID groups. This enables the expansion or removal of current pools and volumes, set threshold values for capacity consumption alerts, and RAID group management. Data volumes and LUNs can be extended without interrupting services.
Thin provisioning
Over-allocation enables a server to view more storage capacity than has been allocated in a storage pool. Further, the physical storage capacity is used only when files are written by the application, improving utilization rates.
Efficiently use storage spaces with incremental allocation. Allocate all spaces specified and they cannot be used by other
Thick provisioning
Physical storage capacity is dedicated during the initial allocation of the storage volume.
volumes or LUNs.
iSCSI (Block based LUN)
QTS 4.2 supports two types of LUNs for ecient storage utilization: block-level and le-level iSCSI LUNs. The Turbo vNAS also supports multiple types of congurations 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
Deploy block-level iSCSI LUN as volumes to reduce overhead and improve overall read/write performance.
File-Level iSCSI LUN
File-level iSCSI LUNs can be used to create a disk image for an iSCSI LUN where storage space is a premium.
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 Drives increase storage expansion exibility
Virtual disks provide a 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 act as a stack master to connect up to 8 virtual disks or stack targets, aggregating storage space from multiple NAS systems. NAS users then only need to connect to a single target to access the space from all of the network storage devices.

CIFS (SAMBA)
Server Message Block (SMB), a version of which is known as Command Internet File System (CIFS), is the default le-sharing service on QNAP NAS. It is mainly used for sharing les among systems using this protocol, such as Windows and Unix-like systems and can also be used as a primary domain controller (PDC).
NFS
QTS 4.2 supports Network File System (NFS), which allows a server to share directories and les with clients over a network. With NFS, client computers can mount file systems over a network. Users can access shared files on these file systems as though they are mounted locally.
SAS and SATA storage system performance comparison
SAS-enabled storage systems deliver better IOPS performance and are ideal for applications requiring large amounts of random accessing such as online transaction processing (OLTP) and Mail Servers.

QNAP high-performance unied and tiered storage solutions
Data used by enterprises continues to grow exponentially and with greater diversity in data types and importance. It is imperative to oer a secure and ecient storage solution that can process this enormous amount of data while minimizing the total cost of ownership.
Establishing a tiered storage system based on eciency and capacity can aid in improving overall processing eciency.
Enterprises 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 dierent usage models.
QNAP Turbo vNAS business series can exibly congure dierent tiers to hard drives on a single unit according to dierent data usage needs, delivering the best unied and tiered storage solution.
Tiered storage architecture optimizes storage efficiency
Nowadays, business needs for big data storage keeps increasing. It is crucial that businesses can utilize cost-efficient storage solutions featuring tiered architecture to tackle Hot Data (frequently-used data) and Cold Data (less-used data) applications with the exible conguration of storage devices to boost storage eciency.
In order to achieve the goal of tiered storage, generally organizations choose SAS Controller­based storage system, such as QNAP’s enterprise-class SAS-enabled Turbo NAS models.
As different storage devices vary in features, businesses have to thoroughly assess their storage needs in performance and capacity to choose the right business hard drives for maximum cost efficiency. The following illustration shows the tiered storage architecture.

SAS interfaces bring you the high performance
The major advantage of the SAS interface is full-duplex data transmission; it is dierent from the half-duplex provided by SATA. SAS is able to simultaneously process two dierent I/O operations, data transmitted in both directions at the same time. In addition, SAS features excellent scalability; each SAS port is able to correspond to as many as 16,384 hard drives (in theory), in contrast each
SATA port can only correspond to one hard drive. The SAS interface oers far higher scalability than the SATA interface.
The diagram below shows the TVS-ECx80U-SAS R2 with a 12Gb/s SAS controller, connecting to a CPU with a PCIe Gen3 x 8 (64Gb/ s) bus to provide extremely high throughput. The 12Gb/s SAS ports connect to hard disk drives giving each dedicated bandwidth and an individual command set. Both SATA and SAS are serial device interfaces that use simplied cabling, smaller connectors, lower pin counts, and lower power requirements than parallel SCSI. The 12G SAS is capable of much higher data transfer, unlocking the full potential of PCI Express 3.0 based systems and solid state storage solutions.

Enterprise-class solid-state drive (SSD)
The key components of an SSD are the controller and the memory to store the data. There are no moving parts, thus no restrictions due to mechanical limitations. It reduces the problems of using high RPM for high performance, achieves better IOPS performances than traditional hard drives, and decreases heat and power consumption and relative cost. However, at this time SSD storage capacity is very limited, causing a very high unit storage space and making SSDs more suitable for IOPS­demanding applications rather than for storage purposes.
Mainstream SSDs are divided into two types: SLC and MLC. SLC SSDs: High access times (approximately 100K access times), high cost. MLC SSDs: Low access times (approximately 10K access times), low cost. SLC SSDs are more suitable for write-intensive applications and MLC SSD is more suitable for read-intensive applications.
Enterprise 15,000 RPM SAS hard drives
The main selections for enterprise mission critical SAS hard drives are 15,000 RPM or 10,000 RPM, generally used for Tier1 storage. The enterprise 15,000 RPM SAS hard drive uses a high RPM to provide superior performances compared to average hard drives and features higher security with higher mean time to failure, lower read errors, higher support, and more. The enterprise 15,000 RPM SAS hard drive is widely used due to its high reliability and high performance. However, because of its high cost and less storage space oering, it is mostly used with Near-line SAS HDDs for certain applications.

The goal of the auto-tiering function on the QNAP NAS is to optimize the use of the storage infrastructure by simultaneously improving storage utilization and performance:
 Move frequently used data onto fast disks for
high-availability or high I/O cache throughput
 Move less frequently used data onto low-cost,
high-capacity disks for better cost eciency
To achieve the required level of performance and cost benets, data is categorized based on access frequency. Service levels such as response times or runtime must be measured and evaluated in advance to decide which data must be stored at a given time in a certain tier.

Based on the results of B-tree calculation, the NAS will automatically move data blocks with higher weights to higher tier (e.g. moving data blocks from HDD RAID Group to SSD RAID Group). Here data migration and metadata update will not interfere with normal IO; therefore, transaction-based B-tree update will avoid problems with data integrity.
You can get the statistics of all data waiting to be processed as well as finishing processed in this phase. If the administrators need to do administrative tasks or there are bandwidth requirements for external connections, they can stop data migration in this phase. Furthermore, assigning weights can help adjust bandwidth allocation or alleviate congestion between external IO and internal data migration.
3 levels of tiered storage
Qtier™ offers a 3-tier configuration, namely, ultra­high speed (SSD), high speed (SAS) and high capacity (SATA/NL-SAS) for a combination of dierent disk drives:

Block – Level Local Snapshot and Snapshot Replica —An Ecient and economical way to protect les
QNAP’s Whole Volume/LUN Snapshot Agent records the status of les using the Copy on Write mechanism. This helps in recovering les to a previously saved state in case of accidental deletion or modication and meeting enterprise requirements of improving Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO).
Benets of QNAP Snapshot
The block-based QNAP snapshot technology can assist in saving space and reserve snapshots for future use as different from traditional backup, block-level snapshot technology will only backup the modified part of a file. QNAP Snapshot supports up to 256 snapshots for each volume or LUN, up to 1024 snapshots for the whole system.

Replication Settings
To minimize the risk of data breach, the Snapshot Replica provides the option of file encryption. It also provides file compression and transfer rate adjustment to lower bandwidth consumption.
Application Consistent Snapshots with Snapshot Agent
Snapshot Agent, used for iSCSI LUN, allows connecting the Turbo NAS with the remote servers (VMware vCenter or Windows Server) to ensure consistent snapshots. On those remote servers, the running applications (VMware virtual machines, Hyper-V virtual machines, SQL server, Windows file server…) will write/flush the data from the memory to the iSCSI LUN prior the snapshot is taken. The application will then be consistent and include all necessary data. In case of snapshot restoration, no data will be missing.
Snapshot Agent also includes VSS Hardware Provider for Windows to allow taking snapshot on the NAS from the backup software use on Windows server. The Snapshot process can be ooaded to the NAS and reduce the loading on the server.

Qsync Central Station 2.0 supports sharing team folders to improve work efficiency, making teamwork simple and easier. Deploying the private cloud synchronization solution on the intranet can help to ensure security of data storage, and the Version Control feature of the shared folder can eectively solve le conicts or accidental deletion.
Remotely delete shared folders to prevent data leaks
In the event where a computer/device is stolen or lost, the Qsync folder can be remotely erased* to ensure that sensitive or confidential data is not accessed by unauthorized users or leaked. Once the computer/device is recovered, Qsync can easily restore the data that was deleted, ensuring the perfect balance between security and convenience.
* The data will still be retained on the QNAP NAS.
Advanced system database and algorithms for enhancing system performance
On QTS 4.2.0, a brand-new database system and rened algorithms are incorporated into Qsync Central Station 2.0 to greatly improve the overall system performance and reduce the burden on the NAS and computers/devices using it. When accessed by a single user, Qsync Central Station 2.0’s upload eciency nearly doubles. With 20 users, the upload eciency further increases by nearly 20 times. All the improvement can maximize collaborative eciency while minimizing the wait time for the team.
Multiple usersSingle user
An array of user settings to choose from
QQsync Client’s easy-to-use interface is very user-friendly and comes with a number of handy and practical features (i.e. sharing les through the computer’s mail server, connection test, help center.) With Qsync Client, snapping all tasks becomes a piece of cake.
