QNAPTS-1253BU-8G-US - Intel Celeron Apollo Lake J3455 4-Core

The TS-1253BU is a 2U rackmount NAS that easily fits into a standard 19-inch rack providing an ideal storage solution in the server room for small and medium businesses. The TS-1253BU comes with a PCIe slot for boosting potential applications: the QNAP QM2 expansion card can be installed to add an M.2 SSD cache/10GbE connectivity a compatible wireless card can be installed to use the TS-1253BU as a wireless access point and a USB 3.1 10Gbps card can be added for easier backup to/from multiple external storage. The TS-1253BU also provides a wide range of value-added features: 4K video playback and real-time transcoding; deployment of virtual environments through Virtualization Station and Container Station; centralized management of remote Windows« Linux« and IPMI-compatible devices with QRM+; and web automation services with IFTTT Agent. Intel« Celeron« J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz CPU with AES-NI Encryption Powered by the latest 14 nm Intel« Celeron« J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz processor (burst up to 2.3 GHz) up to 8GB DDR3L RAM four Gigabit LAN ports and SATA 6Gb/s the TS-1253BU runs tasks smoothly and quickly with up to 415 MB/s read/ write speeds. The TS-1253BU features Intel« AES-NI accelerated encryption to drive transfer speeds of up to 416 MB/s with AES 256-bit encryption for both full NAS volumes and shared folders boosting system performance while ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive business data stored in the NAS. Extend NAS functionality with PCIe expansion The TS-1253BU has a PCIe expansion slot providing flexibility in extending NAS functionality and potential applications. Install a QNAP QM2 card to provide M.2 SSD caching/10GbE connectivity or use the TS-1253BU as a wireless access point by installing a compatible wireless network card or boost the USB connectivity of the TS-1253BU by installing a USB 3.1 10Gbps card. QM2 expansion card redefines NAS function QNAP's QM2 is a PCIe expansion card that features dual M.2 SSD slots and 10GbE connectivity* (individual cards may vary in functionality). This allows users to easily set up SSD caching or to enable Qtier auto-tiering technology to optimize NAS performance. 10GbE-compatible models can also future proof the TS-1253BU for use with 10GbE networks. Equipped with a dedicated cooling module the QM2 can maintain its high performance even when tasked with the highest workloads. SSD cache acceleration The TS-1253BU supports SSD caching. Users can install an SSD in drive bay 1 and bay 2 to boost IOPS performance of storage volumes. It is perfect for improving the overall workflow of IOPS-demanding applications and allows the best of both cost and performance by combining SSDs with HDDs. Coupled with QtierÖ auto-tiering technology (which now supports "On Demand Allocation Priority") users can customize storage allocation to best suit their system environment and application demands.
