QNAP also offers numerous managed/unmanaged 2.5GbE/10GbE switches, assisting organizations in implementing high-speed, secure, and scalable network environments without going over budget. M.2 PCIe slots for SSD caching and accelerated AI-powered image recognition The TS-855X comes with two M.2 PCIe Gen 3 slots that allow for installing M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs (including SSD brands of Micron®, Seagate® and WD®) or Edge TPU (sold separately) to boost NAS performance. SSD caching Configure SSD caching with M.2 SSDs and obtain optimal I/O and reduced latency without occupying any 3.5-inch drive bays. Auto Tiering Qtier™ technology empowers the TS-855X with auto tiering to continuously optimize storage efficiency across all installed storage devices. Faster image recognition with Edge TPU Coral M.2 Accelerator with Edge TPU provides an affordable solution to leverage AI acceleration for faster image recognition in your NAS applications. Upgrade to 25GbE network with PCIe expandability The TS-855X has two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots that allow for installing various expansion cards to increase its application potential. Simple Backup Superior hardware performance with an all-in-one Backup Solution to speed up backup/recovery tasks. PC and Mac backup Sync your computer files to NAS with Qsync. TS-855X also supports Time Machine for Mac computers. License-free VM backup Back up multiple VMware® and Hyper-V™ VMs using Hyper Data Protector. File server backup Supports multiple protocols such as Rsync, FTP and CIFS for backing up different file servers. SaaS Business Backup Solution Use Boxafe to easily back up Google™ Workspace and Microsoft 365® business account data. Google Photos and WordPress backup The exclusive MARS service enables backing up Google Photos and WordPress databases and files to NAS. Multi-version snapshots mitigate ransomware threats The TS-855X 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. Volume and LUN snapshots Take snapshots in seconds and revert the entire volume/LUN back to a specific point in time to prevent loss of important data. Instantly restore snapshots Snapshot content can be quickly restored to a local NAS, or restored on a folder/file basis to a local/remote NAS or cloud storage. You can also conveniently view and restore snapshots from the client side. Back up snapshots Multiply data protection by backing up snapshot files! Replicate volume/LUN snapshots in the TS-855X to a remote NAS (Snapshot Replica) by copying only the changes made. This helps save time & bandwidth, and can be run manually or on a scheduled basis. Reliable, high-performance storage for virtualization The TS-855X 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. All-in-one solution for hosting virtual machines and containers By running multiple virtual machines and containers on the TS-855X, you can deploy multi-tenant environments and applications to increase management efficiency and save hardware costs. Coupled with the Network & Virtual Switch app that boosts interoperability between virtual machines, containers, QNAP NAS, and other physical devices on the network, you can flexibly allocate physical and virtual network resources to simplify network deployment. Virtualization Station Run multiple Windows®, Linux®, UNIX®, Android™, and QuTScloud virtual machines and access them via a web browser or Virtual Network Computing (VNC). Businesses can run virtualized server applications on a single NAS without needing additional physical servers. Container Station Experience Docker®, LXD, and Kata Containers lightweight virtualization technologies, download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry®, import/export containers, and create abundant microservices. Linux Station Run Linux® applications (including apps from the Software Center) directly on the NAS and remotely access the Linux® desktop from a web browser. The open-source Linux® platform is also ideal for Internet of Things development. Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) By installing an SR-IOV compatible PCIe SmartNIC in the TS-855X, you can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs, increasing network efficiency and reduced CPU overheads. QuTScloud virtual NAS QuTScloud is a virtual appliance based on the QTS operating system. Enterprises can quickly launch QuTScloud on hypervisors including Linux® KVM, Microsoft® Hyper-V, and VMware ESXi™ to acquire advanced NAS features without requiring additional NAS hardware. Comprehensive security and privilege settings The TS-855X is loaded with flexible privilege settings and security measures. Besides IP blocking, QNAP Authenticator, HTTPS connection, there are more apps that help ensure optimal NAS protection against threats like malware and hackers. myQNAPcloud secures remote access myQNAPcloud allows convenient connection to the TS-855X through the Internet without any complex DDNS settings. To ensure your remote access service is secure, myQNAPcloud strengthens keys on SSL Certificates to 2048-bits. Simplified privilege settings The TS-855X supports comprehensive access right settings for shared folders, Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS), LDAP, and Windows ACL to help IT staff efficiently manage user accounts and access rights for multiple NAS systems. QuFirewall protection Supports IPv6, firewall access lists, and GeoIP filtering to restric
