High reliability design ensuring business continuity
The business-ready TS-873U-RP is designed 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-873U-RP delivers high reliability and efficiency with quad LAN support for multiple port-trunking modes including fail-over support. The TS-873U-RP also features a hot-swappable redundant power supply to ensure maximum system uptime.
Storage for comprehensive virtualization applications
The TS-873U-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-873U-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.
Integrated virtualization and container solutions
Virtualization Station allows you to host virtual machines (VM) on the TS-873U-RP and access them via a web browser or Virtual Network Computing (VNC), while Container Station integrates LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies for operating multiple isolated Linux systems on TS-873U-RP as well as downloading apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry. Container Station also supports the QIoT Containers platform that helps quickly structure your IoT environment and deployment on your private IoT cloud. No longer constrained by physical network performance, the Network & Virtual Switch greatly increases data transfer between VMs, containers and NAS through the internal interface.
