QNAP TS-653A-8G 18TB 6x 3TB WD RED HDD

In response to the coming era of Internet of Things (IoT), the TS-653A innovatively supports the open-source Linux® platform as a gateway for IoT solutions to other smart devices. The TS-653A allows users to directly utilise various feature-rich Linux apps, enjoying a private cloud combining storage and IoT applications, and professional developers can develop and run IoT applications directly on the TS-653A. The secure, reliable TS-653A is packed with business-critical features such as Volume/LUN Snapshot – allowing files/folders to revert to a previous state in case of any corruption or file-loss. The TS-653A is powered by the latest quad-core Intel® Celeron® processor which allows users to enjoy 4K (H.264) video playback and 1080p/4K video real-time transcoding directly from the TS-653A to an HD/4K display.

Features

The TS-653A’s QTS-Linux dual systems are based upon QNAP’s advanced virtualisation technologies. The revolutionary architecture of the TS-653A enables users not only to download rich apps from QTS App Center but also to develop or utilise IoT packages for Linux® and display them using HDMI output. With the TS-653A, you can develop and install various IoT packages on demand and centrally store the data on the TS-653A, benefiting from a secure private storage and development solution. Simply plug in a keyboard, mouse and HDMI monitor to the TS-653A, and use the Linux Station as if you were using a PC*. You can also operate the Linux Station as a remote desktop via web browser for instant management**.

the TS-653A comes with dual HDMI outputs for using two monitors in either a “duplicated” or “extended” desktop configuration. Duplicating will display the same content on both displays, and extended desktop mode allows users to display applications over two displays for improved multitasking convenience and productivity.When displaying content using HDMI outputs, you can use the TS-653A as an amazing multimedia player by using HD Station to enjoy rich apps including Kodi™, HD Player, Plex Home Theater, YouTube™, Spotify®, JRiver, Google Chrome™, Mozilla Firefox®, and more. Alternatively, you can choose to output the Linux® operating system desktop to use the TS-653A as a PC.

Born for server virtualisation

Virtualisation Station allows you to host virtual machines (VM) on the TS-653A, and access them via a web browser or VNC. Virtualisation Station supports multiple operating systems, fast VM creation, VM backup & restoration, VM import/export, snapshot, and Device Management for centrally managing VM. Virtualisation Station uses SDN (Software-defined Networks) and allows the TS-653A and VMs to share the same LAN port. No longer constrained by physical network performance, high-speed Virtual Switches greatly increases data transfer between VMs as well as between VMs and NAS through the internal interface. You can also download VMs on demand from online VM markets and import them to the TS-653A without any complex procedures.

The TS-653A also features the game-changing container technology for server virtualisation. QNAP Container Station exclusively integrates LXC and Docker® lightweight virtualisation technologies, allowing you to operate multiple isolated Linux® systems on the TS-653A as well as download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry®. Container Station also supports the Online Document app*, which allows you to directly view, edit and store files of various types anytime on your NAS, including Office documents, images and text files.
