Extend NAS functionality with PCIe expansion
The TS-1253BU-RP 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-RP as a wireless access point by installing a compatible wireless network card, or boost the USB connectivity of the TS-1253BU-RP by installing a USB 3.2 Gen 2 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-RP 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. Selected models with 10GbE connectivity is backward compatible with 5GbE/2.5GbE/1GbE/100MbE network.
SSD cache acceleration
The TS-1253BU-RP 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 Qtier™ auto-tiering technology (which now supports “On Demand Allocation Priority”), users can customize storage allocation to best suit their system environment and application demands.
QRM+: Centralized management solution for networked computing devices
QRM+ is QNAP’s Centralized Management Solution, designed for IT teams, for networked computing devices. It provides a single-point solution to discover, map, monitor and manage all of the critical computing devices (including servers, PCs, and thin clients) in your network, and facilitates device discovery with the graphical topology diagram. QRM+ supports IPMI 2.0, provides remote KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) for certain IPMI devices, and supports tracking every action using KVM recording and playback. Simply install QRMAgent on your Windows® and Linux® devices and you will see their system status on the QRM+ management interface.
Data backup, recovery, and synchronization
Hybrid Backup Sync provides a well-rounded solution for data backup, file synchronization and disaster recovery for you to easily and securely backup data from your NAS to several local, remote and cloud storage spaces. In the event of system crashes or critical hardware failure, you can quickly restore data from these storage spaces, minimizing downtime and reducing overall loss. Hybrid Backup Sync also takes advantage of cloud storage for one-way sync of your data to cloud storage through RTRR, rsync, FTP, SMB protocol, or two-way sync your NAS with remote NAS/cloud services.
QTS-Linux dual systems, geared for the IoT era
The TS-1253BU-RP’s QTS-Linux dual systems are based on QNAP’s advanced virtualization technologies. The revolutionary architecture of the TS-1253BU-RP enables users not only to download rich apps from QTS App Center but also to develop or utilize IoT packages for Linux® and display them using HDMI output. With the TS-1253BU-RP, you can develop and install various IoT packages on demand and centrally store the data on the TS-1253BU-RP, benefiting from a secure private storage and development solution.
