Description
Qnap TS-873AEU-RP 8-Bay Rackmount Nas Enclosure
The compact 2U rackmount Qnap TS-873AeU-RP 8-Bay combines an AMD Ryzen™ V1000 series V1500B quad-core/eight-thread 2.2 GHz processor and dual-2.5GbE connectivity in one chassis. Compared to its previous generation, the TS-873AeU-RP is enhanced with two M.2 PCIe Gen3 x 1 ports for NVMe SSD cache acceleration or Edge TPU empowered AI image recognition. Cutting-edge hardware integrated with comprehensive software solutions makes the TS-873AeU-RP the preeminent choice to tackle resource-demanding applications and tasks, such as virtual machines or intensive multi-user access. The space-efficient short depth design of only 11.7 inches (297.4 mm) makes it easy to install in small media cabinets or places with a lot of cabling. The TS-873AeU-RP also features two redundant power supplies to ensure maximum system uptime.
Dual-2.5GbE connectivity
Features two 2.5GbE ports. Up to 5 Gbps transfer speeds can be achieved by using port trunking.
PCIe expandability
Features one PCIe Gen3 x 8 port. Add extra functionality with PCIe cards, including 10/25GbE ports, QM2, or Fibre Channel.
Optimized SSD performance
Features two M.2 PCIe Gen3 ports to install NVMe SSDs and empower Qtier™ and SSD caching technology.
Hybrid cloud storage
Supports block-based and file-based cloud storage gateways with local caching for low-latency access to cloud data.
Virtual machine applications
Host multiple virtual machines and containers to run a wide range of applications.
2U Short depth design
The rackmount NAS has a short-depth design of only 30 cm. It is perfectly suited for installation in a compact rack, or places with a lot of cabling.
2U Short depth design for up to 38% reduction in size
The 2U rackmount TS-873AeU-RP has a short depth design of only 11.7 inches (297.4 mm), making it an excellent choice for smaller racks, wall-mount AV rack cabinets, and network rack cabinets. The space saved by the short depth design can be reserved for cabling or ventilation. The TS-873AeU-RP is space-saving for flexible deployment and is especially suitable for multiple locations and applications including offices, audiovisual rooms, and security surveillance recording.
Two M.2 PCIe Gen3 slots for SSD caching and accelerated AI-powered image recognition
The 8-bay TS-873AeU-RP is equipped with two M.2 PCIe Gen3 x 1 slots, enabling cache acceleration or SSD storage pools for improved performance, or Edge TPU for AI image recognition.
Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environment
Common Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing QNAP dual-port 16Gb Fibre Channel expansion cards in the TS-873AeU-RP, you have more budget-friendly options to add a NAS to a SAN environment. You can set a Fibre Channel Target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app. Moreover, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an additional layer of data security.
Comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solution
The TS-873AeU-RP supports various apps that cover all your backup needs. Practice safe IT habits by regularly backing up files and device content, allowing them to be easily restored when needed.
PC/Laptop backup
For Windows®, install NetBak Replicator to back up your PC to QNAP NAS. In macOS®, just set up the built-in Time Machine® to secure your data.
Remote backup for NAS
Hybrid Backup Sync makes it easy to back up data from a TS-873AeU-RP to another QNAP NAS or remote server to fulfill your 3-2-1 backup strategy.
VM backup
Enjoy license-free VMware® and Hyper-V VM backup with source-side incremental backup, global deduplication, and recovery compression.
SaaS backup
Safeguard enterprise cloud data by backing up/syncing files, emails, calendars, and contacts from Google™ Workspace and Microsoft® Office 365® to the NAS.
Cloud backup for NAS
Hybrid Backup Sync supports mainstream cloud storage for NAS data backup. For backup to object cloud storage, VJBOD Cloud is especially useful to reduce bandwidth usage and backup time.
Multi-version snapshots mitigate ransomware threats
The TS-873AeU-RP supports block-based snapshots that record the state of the system at any time. It helps protect data, which can be restored back to a specific point of time, greatly helping in mitigating the threat of ransomware.
Reliable, high-performance storage for virtualization
The TS-873AeU-RP supports block-based iSCSI LUN as a reliable, high-performance, and affordable storage solution for mainstream virtualization environments. It supports VMware® VAAI and Microsoft® ODX to increase performance by offloading server loading for ESXi server and Hyper-V respectively.
