AMD R-Series RX-421ND quad-core CPU with AES-NI encryption acceleration
The TS-1673U-RP is equipped with the AMD R-Series RX-421ND quad-core 2.1 GHz CPU (Turbo Core up to 3.4 GHz), dual channel 8GB/16GB/64GB DDR4 RAM four 1GbE ports, and a pre-installed dual-port 10GbE network card. With a dual 10GbE configuration, the TS-1673U-RP is capable of delivering up to 1531 MB/s throughput for lightning-fast multi-tasking with low power consumption, while the accelerated encryption engine with AES-NI enables unmatched encryption performance in class to boost system performance, security, and ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive business data stored in the NAS.
High reliability design ensuring business continuity
The business-ready TS-1673U-RP is created to provide 24/7 operations and services. The support for comprehensive RAID configurations and hot-swapping allow for replacing hard drives without service interruption. QNAP's advanced RAID recovery technology also helps if any healthy drives are accidentally removed from a degraded RAID volume. The system can be recovered by reinserting the wrongly-removed hard drives so the data can still be accessible. The TS-1673U-RP delivers high reliability and efficiency with quad LAN support for multiple port-trucking modes including fail-over support. The TS-1673U-RP also features a hot-swappable redundant power supply to ensure maximum system uptime.
QTS - The most intelligent and intuitive NAS operating system
With modularized multiple applications and functions, QTS enhances management efficiency, personal productivity, multimedia, and much more. Intelligent agent services have also been added to simplify system operations and management. The user-friendly QTS features an intelligent desktop that allows you to find desired functions quickly, monitor important system information on a real-time basis, open multiple application windows to run multiple tasks concurrently with greater working efficiency, and provides a built-in App Center with install-on-demand apps to extend NAS functionality. QTS breaks the barriers of devices, platforms, and geography to bring optimized cloud experiences and incorporates advanced features.
Storage for comprehensive virtualization applications
The TS-1673U-RP is a comprehensive iSCSI/IP-SAN storage solution, and supports VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server 2012 R2, benefiting flexible deployment and management in virtualization environments. The TS-1673U-RP supports VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX to increase performance by offloading server loading for ESXi server and Hyper-V respectively, and supports QNAP vSphere Client plug-in and QNAP SMI-S provider with enhanced operational efficiency and management in virtualization applications.
Optimized collaboration with cross-platform file sharing and sync
The TS-1673U-RP centrally stores data, logs and various files, and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP, and NFS protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, Linux /UNIX networks. Coupled with Qsync - a utility that turns a QNAP NAS into a safe, high-capacity data center for file synchronization - any file uploaded to the TS-1673U-RP will be made available for all linked devices, such as computers, laptops or mobile devices. You can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing, greatly enhancing the flexibility of team projects and collaboration.
Well-rounded backup and disaster recovery solutions
The TS-1673U offers flexible backup solutions for Windows and Mac users, Volume/LUN snapshots (block-based LUN and file-based LUN), Folder snapshot, Snapshot Replica and Clone. It also supports Hybrid Backup Sync that consolidates backup, restoration and synchronization functions (using RTRR, rsync, FTP, CIFS/SMB) for easily transferring data to local, remote and cloud storage spaces as a comprehensive data storage and disaster recovery plan.
Secure access with VPN and Proxy Server
The QVPN app combines VPN Server and VPN Client functionality. Through QVPN, the TS-1673U can be used as a VPN server with L2TP/ IPsec, OpenVPN, and PPTP support, allowing you to securely access data shared within the private local network. The TS-1673U can also be used as a VPN Client to connect to other VPN servers or virtual private network through PPTP and OpenVPN for secure data transmission. VPN Client also allows your NAS to connect to multiple servers at the same time. You can connect your devices to your NAS and the VPN server at home to access data on the LAN; via VPN Client on your NAS you can connect to international VPN servers for accessing regionally-restricted services.
Comprehensive security to protect your data
In open network environments, business data may be exposed in a potential hack. The TS-1673U-RP provides numerous security options, such as antivirus, encrypted access, IP blocking, 2-step verification, and more. IT administrators are able to control the access rights of each user to different folders, preventing unauthorized access to important files. The TS-1673U-RP supports AES 256-bit encryption, preventing sensitive business data from unauthorized access and breach even if the hard drives or the entire system were stolen. Windows AD server, LDAP server, and built-in LDAP service are also supported.
Fast data filing and searching to double your productivity
The TS-1673U-RP provides Qfiling and Qsirch for effortlessly organizing and searching for files, providing you with a highly-efficient data storage center. Qfiling automates file organization - simply determine filing conditions, set a schedule, and files will be organized and archived based on your settings. The Qsirch full-text search tool features quick file searching and supports thumbnail previews, content abstract, keyword hints, and more. Both apps provide huge productivity boosts that greatly reduce the time spent looking for files on the NAS, allowing you to focus on other tasks.
Centralized email and management for improved communication workflows
It can be hard to manage emails and information that are scattered across multiple computers, devices, and accounts - not to mention if important emails or information are lost or become inaccessible due to account closure or device malfunction/loss. QNAP QmailAgent and Qcontactz helps you centrally store and manage emails and information, making them accessible to all of your devices at any time - and with the powerful Qsirch search engine, you can easily find specific contacts and emails whenever needed.
Whole QVR Pro surveillance solution
The TS-1673U supports QVR Pro (Beta) that integrates QNAP's professional QVR system into the QTS operating system. You can arrange a dedicated, independent storage space for surveillance data on the NAS and leverage the advantages of scalability and storage manageability from QTS. QVR Pro features a flexible monitoring interface that allows adjusting the proportion and monitor view of IP cameras, supports an upgraded timeline feature that provides instant video search and quick view identification in live monitoring mode, and allows for monitoring views and playing back images without switching between windows. Additional functions like batch adding and editing cameras and searching for cameras across different LANs further save the cost and time in deploying and maintaining a complete surveillance system. With the newly-developed QUSBCam2 App, you can use a USB camera as an ONVIF network camera. Simply connect it to your TS-1673U, and you can view real-time images without installing any software. Through QVR Pro, you can even store recordings for playback, allowing you to build a surveillance system with a minimal budget.
