TS-639 Pro Turbo NAS
Overview
Modern business requires a secure, reliable, and high-performance data
center to store important digital assets. To easily and securely back up,
protect, and share the stored information are also essential to business
productivity. QNAP TS-639 Pro is the new generation 6-bay model of the
worldwide award-winning Turbo NAS Series, providing superior performance
for massive data sharing, powerful all-in-one business server features,
advanced RAID data protection, built-in iSCSI target service, AES 256-bit
volume-based encryption, and rock-solid hot swappable hard drive design for
Versatile Applications for Business and Corporation
The TS-639 Pro supports file sharing across Linux, UNIX, Mac, and
Windows platforms. Versatile business features are supported, e.g. file
server, FTP server with encryption, and printer server, PHP/MySQL
supported web server, and encrypted remote replication by Rsync. Also,
Windows AD (Active Directory) is supported to help create an easy-to-access
environment and lower the maintenance cost. SSH login and web page SSL
login enable users to transfer, store, and share data securely.
modern business and corporations.
Secure Data Protection by AES 256-bit Volume-based Encryption
Superior performance and advanced RAID redundancy
Powered by Intel 1.6 GHz CPU, 1GB DDRII memory, the TS-639 Pro
delivers superior performance for multiple business applications. Advanced
RAID configurations, including RAID 0/ 1/ 5/ 6/ 5+Spare, JBOD, online RAID
The TS-639 Pro’s dominant ‘volume-based encryption’ feature secures the
server data by AES 256-bit encryption. Even if the hard drives were stolen,
there is no need to fear the confidential would be leaked since the data can
only be accessed by an authorized password.
capacity expansion, and online RAID level migration are all supported.
Easy Setup and Low-cost Maintenance
The Most Flexible iSCSI Solution with Virtual Space Allocation
The TS-639 Pro can serve as a NAS and an iSCSI target server. The built-in
iSCSI target feature provides an affordable IP-SAN (Storage Area Network)
alternative for SMB. The server managers can set up the NAS to expand the
storage capacity for existing application servers, such as database server
and mail server in an economic way. Moreover, the innovative “Virtual Space
Allocation” (Thin Provisioning) feature is provided which allows the server
managers to flexibly allocate the capacity of iSCSI LUN (Logical Unit
The handy LCD display on the NAS provides a speedy and easy approach
for IT administrators to initialize the NAS and set up the RAID configuration
without using any computer. The system information and settings are also
displayed for easy management. The schedule power on/off feature is
available on the NAS for IT administrators to flexibly manage the NAS
server's up time according to the working hours. Also, the smart Wake on
LAN is supported for convenient remote wakeup of the NAS in the local
network.
Number) at the beginning without the limitation of the volume space.
Advanced RAID Management Flexible Built-in iSCSI Solution
Advanced RAID Management with How-swap Design
The NAS offers advanced RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 5 + Spare, Single, and JBOD disk
configurations. It also supports hot-swap design that a failed drive can be
replaced by hot swapping without turning off the server. Besides, the best-in-class
RAID on the NAS brings users a higher level of data security by allowing one
more hard drive failure than other NAS of the same level.
Online RAID Capacity Expansion
The storage capacity of a RAID configuration can be expanded by replacing the
hard drives with larger ones. All the data

will be kept and seamlessly moved to the

need to turn off the server during the

process.
Online RAID Level Migration
Users can upgrade the disk configuration
to higher RAID level with the data
retained. There is no need to turn off the
server during the process.

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-639 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. The server manager
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.
Virtual Space Allocation (Thin Provisioning)
The “Virtual Space Allocation” (Thin Provisioning) feature is provided which allows
the server manager 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, the server manager
can easily expand the storage capacity of the NAS by “Online RAID Capacity
Expansion”.

AES 256-bit Volume-based Data Encryption
Public
The TS-639 Pro’s dominant “volume-based encryption” feature enables the server
manager 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.

DOM Architecture and Fail-Safe Dual OS Protection
All the OS and applications of the TS-639 Pro are embedded on the DOM. The
NAS allows system booting without accessing the physical disk sectors and that
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.
Touch-N-Go PC-less Installation
You can use the handy LCD to finish the first time installation in 3 simple steps. The
TS-639 Pro will automatically complete the hard disk formatting and RAID building.

All-in-one Turbo NAS Applications for Business
The TS-639 Pro supports file sharing across Linux, UNIX, Mac, and Windows platforms.
Versatile business functions are supported, e.g. file server, FTP server, backup server,
printer server, web server, encrypted remote replication by Rsync and Windows AD
(Active Directory). SSH login and web page SSL login enable users to transfer, store, and
share data securely. The NAS supports UPS devices to prevent avoid critical data loss
when power outage occurs during data transfer.
Secure Measures for Data Storage and Access
1. Policy-based Unauthorized IP Blocking: Server manager can allow, deny or
auto block specified IP address or network domain which attempts to connect
to Turbo NAS via SSH/ Telnet/ HTTP(S)/ FTP/ samba/ AFP.
2. Comprehensive Event Log System: Detailed logs of file-level data access to
the Turbo NAS via samba, FTP, AFP, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, and SSH, and
networking services accessed by online users are all recorded.
3. Syslog Setting: All the system event logs and connection logs can be saved to
a remote syslog server.
4. Remote Login by SSH (secure shell) or Telnet connection is supported.
5. SSL Security (HTTPS): The Turbo NAS can be accessed and configured by
the web browser securely. The administrator can also upload a secure
certificate and RSA private key in X.509PEM format issued by a trusted
provider for the users to access the Turbo NAS by secure SSL login.
6. Secure FTP: The data can be transmitted with SSL/TLS (explicit) encryption.
Passive FTP port range setup is also supported.
7. Write-only access right on FTP server: The third party partners are allowed to
upload data to the NAS but not able to read or edit the data on FTP server.
8. Encrypted Remote Replication by Rsync: Data on the NAS can be backed up
to or from another Turbo NAS or Rsync server over the network securely.
9. Share Folder Management: For the security of Windows network environment,
server managers can hide or show network share folders.
10. User Authority Management: The NAS allows the server manager to create
user ID and password, and define the authority and quota for each user.
