QNAP TS-873AEU-4G

The compact 2U rackmount TS-873AeU combines an AMD Ryzen™ V1000 series V1500B quad-core/eight-thread 2.2 GHz processor and dual-2.5GbE connectivity in one chassis. Compared to its previous generation. the TS-873AeU is enhanced with two M.2 PCIe Gen3 x 1 ports for NVMe SSD caching or Edge TPU empowered AI image recognition. Cutting-edge hardware integrated with comprehensive software solutions makes the TS-873AeU the preeminent choice to tackle resource-demanding applications and tasks. such as virtual machines or multi-user intensive access. The space-efficient short depth design makes it easy to install in small media cabinets or places with a lot of cabling.2U Short depth design for up to 38% reduction in sizeThe 2U rackmount TS-873AeU has a short depth design of only 11.7 inches (297.4 mm). making it an excellent choice for smaller racks. wall-mount AV rack cabinets. and network rack cabinets. The space saved by the short depth design can be reserved for cabling or ventilation. The TS-873AeU is space-saving for flexible deployment and is especially suitable for multiple locations and applications including offices. audiovisual rooms. and security surveillance recording.Absolute performance with AMD Ryzen™ and up to 64GB RAMPowered by a 4-core/8-thread AMD Ryzen™ V1500B 2.2GHz processor with AES-NI encryption acceleration and up to 64GB DDR4 RAM (supports ECC RAM). the rackmount TS-873AeU delivers aggressive yet power-smart performance to drive resource-demanding business applications such as VDI. R&D. private cloud. and server virtualization.Upgrade to 2.5GbE networkingThe TS-873AeU comes with two 2.5GbE RJ45 LAN ports that allow you to use existing CAT5e cables to upgrade network speeds from 1 Gigabit to 2.5 Gigabit. 5GbE speeds can also be attained by using Port Trunking.Two M.2 PCIe Gen3 slots for SSD caching and accelerated AI-powered image recognitionThe 8-bay TS-873AeU is equipped with two M.2 PCIe Gen3 x 1 slots. enabling cache acceleration or SSD storage pools for improved performance. or Edge TPU for AI image recognition.NVMe 2 SSDs for cache acceleration or efficient tiered storageThe TS-873AeU supports SSD caching and features two M.2 slots that support M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs with 2280 form factors (sold separately) for boosting overall NAS performance. Qtier™ technology can also be used to empower the TS-873AeU with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency across all installed storage devices.Accelerate AI–powered image recognition with TPUBy leveraging a Google Edge TPU to QNAP AI Core (the AI-powered engine for image recognition). the TS-873AeU can perform high-speed face and object recognition. Google Edge TPU enables QuMagie to quickly process thousands of photos with high-speed AI Image recognition and classification. and QVR Face to analyze real-time video for instant facial recognition.Abundant I/O capabilities with PCIe Gen3 expansionThe TS-873AeU has a PCIe Gen 3 x 8 slot that allows for installing various expansion cards for expanding application potential.Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environmentCommon Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing QNAP dual-port 16Gb Fibre Channel expansion cards in the TS-873AeU. 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.Comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solutionThe TS-873AeU 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 backupFor 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 NASHybrid Backup Sync makes it easy to back up data from a TS-873AeU to another QNAP NAS or remote server to fulfill your 3-2-1 backup strategy.VM backupEnjoy license-free VMware® and Hyper-V VM backup with source-side incremental backup. global deduplication. and recovery compression.SaaS backupSafeguard 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 NASHybrid Backup Sync supports mainstream cloud storage for NAS data backup. For backup to object cloud storage. VJBOD Cloud is especially useful to reduce bandwidth usage and backup time.Multi-version snapshots mitigate ransomware threatsThe TS-873AeU 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 snapshotsTake snapshots in seconds and revert the entire volume/LUN back to a specific point in time to prevent loss of
