TS-239 Pro Turbo NAS
Overview
QNAP TS-239 Pro is the new generation 2-bay model of the worldwide
award-winning Turbo NAS Series designed to deliver high performance and
reliable server features such as advanced RAID protection, built-in iSCSI
target service, and AES 256-bit volume-based encryption for small business.
Powered by Intel 1.6 GHz CPU and 1GB DDRII memory, the TS-239 Pro is
the 2-bay NAS with the best hardware specifications in the current market.
The NAS comes with two Giga LAN ports which can be configured for
network failover, load-balancing, and multi-IP setting. Advanced disk
configurations such as RAID 0/ 1, JBOD, Online RAID Capacity Expansion
and Online RAID Level Migration are supported.
The TS-239 Pro can serve as a NAS and an iSCSI target server. You can
make use of the iSCSI target service to set up the NAS as a device for
storage capacity expansion or a backup server of the existing servers on the

Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Online RAID Level Migration
The TS-239 Pro supports Online RAID Capacity Expansion for expanding the storage
capacity of the RAID 1 configuration and Online RAID Level Migration for upgrading
the disk configuration to higher RAID level. It also supports RAID 0, 1, single, and
JBOD disk configurations. The hot-swap design allows you to replace a failed
member drive of the RAID 1 configuration without turning off the server.

AES 256-bit Volume-based Data Encryption
The TS-239 Pro’s dominant “volume-based encryption” feature enables you to
build encrypted disk volumes on the NAS for the first time installation. The disk
volume is securely protected by AES 256-bit encryption. An encryption key is
required to unlock the encrypted volume to access the server data. This prevents
data leakage if the server or the hard drives were stolen.
local network. The “Virtual Space Allocation” (Thin Provisioning) feature is
provided that you can flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI LUN (Logical
Unit Number) at the beginning regardless of the physical volume capacity of
the NAS.
To meet the demand for high security data protection of the business users,
the TS-239 Pro supports AES 256-bit volume-based encryption. The
encrypted disk volumes of the NAS must be unlocked by the encryption
password to be accessed, which eliminates the fear of confidential data
leakage if the hard drives or the NAS were stolen. Moreover, the TS-239 Pro
supports file sharing across Linux, UNIX, Mac, and Windows. It provides
numerous applications, e.g. file server, FTP server, printer server, web server
(with phpMyAdmin, MySQL, SQLite, Joomla!). It is an ideal storage solution
for your office network.

Built-in iSCSI Solution
Built-in iSCSI Target Service
For small business, a high-performance and flexible storage expansion solution
for the existing application servers is required. However, DAS (Direct Attached
Storage) is not an efficient solution and a Fiber Channel SAN is too expensive
and complicated to implement.
The TS-239 Pro can act as a NAS and iSCSI target server at the same time. It
provides a cost-efficient iSCSI solution to set up an IP-SAN. You can make use of
the built-in iSCSI target service to add up to 8 iSCSI devices. Different iSCSI
Target LUNs (Logical Unit Number) can be defined as storage expansion or
backup destination of the existing application servers, such as database servers
and mail servers.
Benefits of Dual LAN Deployment
Primary Network Connection
Switch
Secondary Network Connection
1. Data flow from clients
2. Data traffic evenly distributed
to balance network loading
Switch
LAN 2 LAN 1
Switch Switch
Supports access of multiple IP from different LAN areas
Network Failover
Failover allows the NAS to
sustain the failure of one
network port to provide
continuous services.
Load-balancing
Bandwidth aggregation is
supported to boost the file
transfer speed (works with
managed Ethernet switch
with 802.3ad configured).
Multi-IP Setting
The NAS can be deployed
with two different IP settings
for sharing among different
workgroups in two different
subnets.
Virtual Space Allocation (Thin Provisioning)
The “Virtual Space Allocation” (Thin Provisioning) feature is provided which allows
you to flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI LUN (Logical Unit Number) at the
beginning regardless of the physical volume capacity. When the physical storage
capacity of the volume is going to be full, You can easily expand the storage
capacity of the NAS by “Online RAID Capacity Expansion”.

DOM Architecture and Fail-Safe Dual OS Protection
All the OS and applications are embedded on the DOM of the TS-239 Pro to
allow system booting without accessing the physical disk sectors, which
prevents unsuccessful system startup caused by bad block sectors or file errors
on the hard drives. Two operating systems are built on the DOM for system
booting alternatively upon every system startup. When one fails, the other one
will be used to boot up instead, and the failed OS is recoverable from the other
healthy OS.

All-in-one Turbo NAS Applications
Secure Measures for Data Storage and Access
Policy-based Unauthorized IP Blocking: You can allow, deny or
1
auto block specified IP address or network domain which attempts to connect
to Turbo NAS via SSH/ Telnet/ HTTP(S)/ FTP/ samba/ AFP.
