QNAP TES-1885U-D1531-16GR Overview
The Enterprise-class TES-1885U 18-Bay NAS Enclosure from QNAP is designed so that businesses may choose from two operating systems - either the FreeBSD-based QES or Linux-based QTS - and, based on their needs and goals, deploy the proper OS on multiple TES-1885U units. While QES supports ZFS for the strong reliability and allows near-limitless snapshots, block-level data deduplication and real-time data compression, QTS features Qtier Technology, SSD cache and an abundance of apps to realize storage efficiency and diverse usage applications. Please be aware that to change the NAS operating system after completing setup, it is necessary to re-initialize the hard disks and delete all stored data. A remote backup is required before switching the NAS operating system.

The TES-1885U holds larger-capacity 2.5"/3.5" hard drives in twelve drive bays that support SAS-3 12 Gb/s and SATA III 6 Gb/s and also supports faster SSDs in six 2.5" SATA III bays. While the twelve 2.5"/3.5" drive bays can only be used for data storage, the six 2.5" bays can be used for caching, high-performance storage pools, or the QES OS drive. To manage the data and operating system, this NAS is powered by a 2.2 GHz Intel Xeon D-1531 six-core processor along with 16GB of 2133 MHz DDR4 ECC RAM. This version of the TES-1885U is also outfitted with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports, four Gigabit Ethernet ports and three PCIe 3.0 slots and one PCIe 2.0 slot, each of which supports 10 or 40 Gigabit Ethernet adapters and PCIe NVMe SSDs.

QES Operating System - Based on FreeBSD & ZFS
The TES-1885U supports the QES (QNAP Enterprise Storage) operating system, which is based on the simple and efficient FreeBSD kernel and the ZFS file system that has been shown through years of experience to be more suitable for high-end enterprise applications. Continuing the same user experience with the QTS operating system, QES provides business users with an easy learning curve to quickly deploy the TES-1885U and provides a good storage solution jointly with the current QNAP NAS.

ZFS - A File System for Business Data Storage
The TES-1885U features ZFS, a combined file system and logical volume manager, to support various advanced functions for high-end enterprise storage, including powerful storage expansion, flexible storage pools, RAID-Z for data protection, simplified management, high-performance SSD cache, nearly limitless snapshots and cloning, data deduplication, in-line compression, self-healing and thin provisioning with reclaim for optimized utilization for virtual machine storage. ZFS is designed with a focus on data integrity and uses its end-to-end checksums to detect and correct silent data corruption caused by hardware defects, bugs in firmware or metadata errors, effectively protecting user's data.

Deduplication and Compression to Maximize VDI Storage Performance
All-flash storage featuring high-performance random I/O is advantageous for databases, online transaction processing (OLTP) and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) applications. Though the cost of all-flash storage is higher than using normal hard drives, data deduplication and compression technology can greatly assist in storing more data in less storage space with greater cost-efficiency and performance gains. Using VDI for example, there could be over 90% duplicate data from OS images and applications that are spread over virtual desktops. The TES-1885U supports block-based data deduplication to optimize storage usage from redundant data. Deduplicated virtual desktops become easier to be cached to achieve optimal virtual desktop performance. In-line data compression helps shrink data size, further optimizing storage usage. For mastering storage in a virtualized environment, the TES-1885U provides businesses with a cost-effective remote virtual desktop platform and mission-critical information warehousing.

Strong Disaster Recovery Made by Nearly Limitless Snapshots and SnapSync
The TES-1885U supports up to 65,536 snapshots for iSCSI LUN and shared folders. When executing a remote snapshot backup, it only needs to transfer changed data and can use deduplication and compression to significantly reduce the amount of transferred data. The TES-1885U can provide remote backup SnapSync for snapshots at the shortest interval of every five minutes, fully supports VMware vCenter Site Recovery (SRM) technology, provides Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) for SRM and provides enterprise-class remote backup & disaster recovery solution to fulfill business continuity.
