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 modern business and corporations.

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.

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 capacity expansion, and online RAID level migration are all supported.

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.

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 Number) at the beginning without the limitation of the volume space.

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.

Advanced RAID Management

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 configura-
	tion can be expanded by replacing the
	hard drives with larger ones. All the data	500GB 500GB 500GB 500GB	500GB 500GB	1TB 1TB	1TB 1TB 1TB 1TB
	will be kept and seamlessly moved to the
	newly installed hard drives. There is no
	need to turn off the server during the	2.5TB (RAID5)		5TB (RAID5)
	process.
	Online RAID Level Migration	RAID 1 Mirroring	RAID 5 (5 HDD)	a. RAID 5 (6 HDD) b. RAID 6 (6 HDD)
	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.

AES 256-bit Volume-based Data Encryption

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.

Flexible 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-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”.

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.
