Incorporating reliability and security, the TVS-871T delivers the highest transfer rates ever as storage with persistent throughput, and provides a complete business-ready storage solution to build a reliable private cloud. Thunderbolt 2 and 10GbE dual network for 4K video playback and on-the-fly editing Consolidated storage solution with direct attached storage (DAS), network attached storage (NAS) and iSCSI-SAN Scalable up to 448TB with Thunderbolt 2 storage expansion enclosures TX-800P / TX-500P 4 available combinations with Macs and JBOD for flexible attaching, sharing and expansion Tiered storage architecture and SSD caching for optimal storage utilization Supports QvPC Technology, running virtual machines, storage virtualization and full NAS encryption Extraordinary. The first ever Thunderbolt 2 NAS. QNAP TVS-871T is the world''s first Thunderbolt 2 NAS and offers a comprehensive DAS/NAS/iSCSI SAN multi-mode storage solution in a compact form factor. Powered by a high-performance Intel® Haswell processor with options including Core™ i5 and Core™ i7, the TVS-871T not only features Thunderbolt 2 technology but also has dual 10GbE ports built-in giving you incredible flexibility to deliver incredible performance. Thunderbolt/Ethernet dual network The Thunderbolt 2 protocol uses industry standard networking technologies meaning the high-speed transmission over your Thunderbolt 2 cable is able to run all network services (such as file sharing, FTP and other services). The TVS-871T can also simultaneously run general Ethernet services in addition to the Thunderbolt 2 network, completely independently and with no bandwidth interference. You can flexibly allocate proper bandwidth for different concurrent tasks. Pioneering DAS/NAS/ iSCSI-SAN triple solution The TVS-871T is an unmatched Thunderbolt 2 NAS that combines DAS, NAS and iSCSI-SAN into one box. It prevents the restriction of DAS connecting to only one device, and breaks the cost barrier for constructing 10GbE high-speed network environments. The TVS-871T Thunderbolt 2 NAS dramatically redefines the private cloud, combining the best of DAS and NAS. DAS file-based mode You can directly access files on the TVS-871T on a file-based level. Simply attach your Mac computer to the TVS-871T with the Thunderbolt 2 cable, and you will find the TVS-871T in Finder with accessible shared folders available for you. It is plug-and-use, and completely simple. Thunderbolt/Ethernet NAS mode The TVS-871T features Thunderbolt & Ethernet dual networking for flexible file sharing across multiple devices simultaneously, using SMB/CIFS, NFS and AFP protocols for sharing across Windows, Mac and Linux/UNIX networks. Use Qfinder to find the TVS-871T attached to your computer, and you can find Thunderbolt IP and Ethernet IP for file sharing based on your needs. iSCSI SAN block-based mode The TVS-871T supports iSCSI SAN configuration, while the Thunderbolt interface can contributes a lot to iSCSI SAN storage performance. After creating an iSCSI target on the TVS-871T, you can access the iSCSI with your computer through Thunderbolt IP.
