Lx, or the same level SmartNIC) to improve bandwidth-demanding data center and virtualization applications and to support RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE and RoCEv2), allowing data to bypass general network drivers, the socket layer, and directly enter ESXi server and storage memory buffer. RoCE technology can improve NAS performance while lowering CPU consumption of applications that use an Ethernet network, ideal for low-latency and high-speed large data transfer. Four 2.5GbE ports to redefine upgraded connectivity Compared with the previous model, the data transmission speed of TS-h1886XU-RP R2 is increased by 250% to handle multiple key business tasks. HDD + SSD hybrid structure to optimize storage performance and utilization The TS-h1886XU-RP R2 features outstanding hardware and expandable architecture, enabling optimum performance and flexibility to satisfy business needs in various applications. Abundant I/O capability with PCIe expansion The TS-h1886XU-RP R2 has two PCIe Gen3 x4 slots (one slot pre-installed with a dual-port 10GbE expansion card) and one PCIe Gen2 x4 slot that allow for installing various expansion cards to expand application potential. Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environment Common Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing QNAP dual-port ###TS-h1886XU-RP R2-fc### Fibre Channel expansion cards in the TS-h1886XU-RP R2, 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. Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environment Common Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly.

Write Once, Read Many (WORM) is also supported. Data reduction improves storage efficiency and performance Inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction reduce file sizes to conserve storage capacity and optimize performance. Multi-level cache technology Main memory read cache (L1 ARC), SSD second-level read cache (L2 ARC), and ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) for synchronous transactions with power failure protection are supported to boost performance and security. RAID Z enables robust data protection Multiple RAID levels allow flexible capacity utilization. RAID Triple Parity and Triple Mirror deliver higher levels of data protection. QSAL (QNAP SSD Antiwear Leveling) enhances data protection RAID-level SSD lifespan is automatically and regularly detected to prevent simultaneous SSD failure, improving your data protection and system reliability. App Center ecosystem extends NAS functionality Apps for backup/sync, virtual machines/containers, content management, productivity, and more features can be used to expand the application potential of the NAS. Tiered storage configuration for a QuTS hero NAS Basic requirements for setup are similar to QTS. We recommend you to follow these steps to acquire optimal storage efficiency and performance for QuTS hero. Inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction drives Big Data storage efficiency QuTS hero supports advanced block-based data reduction technologies (including inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction) to reduce file sizes, conserve storage capacity, and optimize performance. For example, if 20 virtual machines on a NAS are replicated using the same template, then storage space requirements for all 20 virtual machines can be reduced by up to 95%. Whether acting as primary or backup storage, the TS-h1886XU-RP R2 optimizes storage utilization to provide a reliable storage cornerstone in the Big Data era. Real-time SnapSync ensures minimal RPO with real-time disaster recovery Real-time SnapSync ensures that both the primary and secondary NAS maintain identical data. When data is written to the source, it is immediately written to the destination. If the primary NAS goes offline, IT staff can simply adjust the privilege settings of the secondary NAS to ensure continuous operations. SnapSync provides the strongest support for nonstop business operations and helps users to reduce the risk of data loss. Snapshots multiply backup protection Attain peace of mind with near-limitless, instant snapshots. Copy-on-write technology makes snapshot creation almost instantaneous without affecting ongoing data writing. Snapshot Replica replicates snapshot files to the backup NAS, simplifying data protection with version control. HBS simplifies 3-2-1 backup plans HBS centralizes backup, restoration, and synchronization for easily transferring data in the TS-h1886XU-RP R2 to another QNAP NAS, remote server, or cloud storage space. HBS supports QuDedup technology that eliminates redundant data at the source and makes multi-version backup faster. Comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solution The TS-h1886XU-RP R2 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-h1886XU-RP R2 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 back
