Qnap TVS-1272XU-RP-I3-4G NAS 12 Bay Rackmount

Designed for Diversified Business IT Environments

Designed for diversified business IT environments, the TVS-1272XU-RP features an 8th generation Intel® Core™ processor, Mellanox® ConnectX®-4 Lx 10GbE controller, and PCIe expansion for 25GbE / 40GbE connectivity to boost intensive large file sharing, heavily-loaded backups, or virtualisation applications. PCIe expandability also allows for installing graphics cards to empower AI workflows and video transcoding, and the 4K HDMI 2.0 output can display surveillance videos on a monitor or TV to improve surveillance management. The TVS-1272XU-RP also features a redundant power supply to ensure maximum system uptime.

8th Gen Intel® Core™ Processing, and up to 64 GB RAM

The TVS-1272XU-RP features an 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i3-8100 quad-core 3.6 GHz processor and up to 64 GB DDR4 memory, delivering higher performance to help you accomplish more tasks efficiently. It provides four Gigabit and two 10GbE SFP+ LAN ports, supports SATA 6Gb/s drives, and features AES-NI encryption for delivering high performance while also maintaining the security of your data.

Dual-Channel Memory Delivers Power-Smart Performance

The TVS-1272XU-RP supports dual-channel DDR4 memory in four Long-DIMM slots. When using paired memory modules, the TVS-1272XU-RP can leverage the power of dual-channel architecture to boost performance. You also customise the memory configuration (supports up to 64 GB RAM) of the TVS-1272XU-RP for greater performance to tackle dynamically-changing workloads such as virtualisation.

Robust, Durable, Expandable.

The TVS-1272XU-RP features high-quality hardware and expandable architecture, enabling optimum performance and flexibility to fulfill business needs in performance and application diversification.

Dual 10GbE High-Speed Data Transfer and VMware Virtualisation with iSER

The TVS-1272XU-RP provides two 10GbE SFP+ ports that use the Mellanox® ConnectX®-4 Lx SmartNIC controller. They support the iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol, allowing data to bypass general network drivers, the socket layer, and to directly enter memory buffers of the ESXi server and storage to offload CPU workloads. When both the VMware® server and the TVS-1272XU-RP support iSER, it can provide up to 60% increased random read/write performance and 50% decreased latency, providing an essential tool to optimise demanding virtualisation applications.

Recommended Usage of PCIe Slots

The TVS-1272XU-RP provides multiple PCIe slots. To ensure that the SATA drives have sufficient bandwidth, it is recommended to only use low-end expansion cards, (such as a 1GbE NIC, USB 3.0 card, or Wi-Fi adapter) with the PCIe Gen2 slot (Slot 1) as this slot is connected to the PCH. For high-end expansion cards (including 10GbE/40GbE NICs, SAS cards, Mustang-200 acceleration card, and graphics cards), it is recommended to use PCIe Gen3 slots (Slot 2, 3, 4) as these slots are connected to the CPU.

I/O Capability with PCIe Expansion

The TVS-1272XU-RP features 4 PCIe slots that allow for the usage of various expansion cards to expand application potential.

Empower GPU Accelerated Computing with Graphics Cards

Graphics cards are optimised for graphical calculations and transformations. The TVS-1272XU-RP provides PCIe slots for installing an AMD Radeon™ or NVIDIA® graphics card to boost data-intensive AI machine learning, while also providing benefits for imaging processing and virtual machine performance (via GPU passthrough).

24/7 Optimised Storage Efficiency

By enabling Qtier™ auto-tiering on the TVS-1272XU-RP, organisations can just buy the amount of SSDs needed, and attain the highest value/performance and optimal storage efficiency for data storage and sharing.

Build an Affordable Fibre Channel SAN Environment

Common Fibre Channel SAN (Storage Area Networks) devices are often expensive. Now you have more budget-friendly options to easily add your NAS to a SAN environment. Once a Marvell®, ATTO® or QNAP Fibre Channel card has been installed in the TVS-1272XU-RP, you can set a Fibre Channel Target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app, and leverage the many benefits from QNAP NAS including snapshot protection, Qtier™ tiering storage, SSD cache acceleration and more. In addition, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an additional layer of security for your data.

Up to 128 Monitoring Channels in QVR Pro

The TVS-1272XU-RP has an HDMI 2.0 port which supports 4K (3840 x 2160) 60Hz output, allowing you to directly display surveillance videos and media files on a monitor or TV via HD Station. Featuring advanced Intel® UHD Graphics 630, the TVS-1272XU-RP provides high-quality 4K (H.264) and 1080p video transcoding, and you can easily convert videos to universal file formats that can be smoothly played on multiple devices.

Simplify Network Deployment

The Network & Virtual Switch application allows you to leverage limited physical network resources for unlimited virtual applications and centrally manage the entire network structure with a brilliantly-visualised network topology map. Flexible manageability enables you to reorganise physical and virtual network connections with greater ease, so you can allocate adequate network resources to the TVS-1272XU-RP, virtual machines and containers whenever needed. The network deployment is greatly simplified while your network management efficiency is greatly improved.

Seamless File Sharing and Sync

The TVS-1272XU-RP centrally stores data and files, and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS protocols for file sharing across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX® networks. Coupled with Qsync (a utility that turns a QNAP NAS into a safe, high-capacity data center for file synchronisation) any file uploaded to the TVS-1272XU-RP will be made available for all linked devices, such as computers, laptops and mobile devices. You can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing to enhance the flexibility of team projects and collaboration. Files can be centrally managed using File Station, including files from mobile devices and optical disc drives. File Station also allows you to mount a remote NAS, and transfer files between your NAS and public cloud services for greater convenience.

Complete Control over System Status and Data Security

In open network environments, data on connected devices may be exposed in a potential hack. The TVS-1272XU-RP provides numerous security options, such as encrypted access, IP blocking, 2-step verification, and more. Administrators can also control the access rights of each user to different folders, and use the following tools to enhance security management.
