The high-capacity TVS-h1688X features a powerful Intel Xeon W processor and allows for installing two QNAP QXP-T32P Thunderbolt 3 PCIe expansion cards (sold separately) to attain four Thunderbolt 3 ports, making it a perfect match for Thunderbolt -equipped Mac and Windows users for high-speed media collaboration. The built-in 10GbE and 2.5GbE connectivity supports Port Trunking and failover to further satisfy bandwidth and reliability demanding business applications. Running the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system, the TVS-h1688X supports block-level inline data deduplication and compression, near-limitless snapshots, real-time SnapSync, and read/write cache technologies, helping your business achieve reliable service-level agreement performance, from creative workflows to file server, virtualization server, and efficient file backup and recovery applications.

Key Product Info

  • Two 10GBASE-T and four 2.5GbE LAN ports accelerate virtualization, intensive file access, large backup/restoration tasks, and media transfer
  • PCIe slots allow for installing 5/10/25/40GbE adapters, QM2 cards, or graphics cards to increase application performance
  • 4K media playback and real-time transcoding; directly output videos to an HDMI display (up to 4K @30Hz)
  • Supports virtual machines and containerized apps, centralized storage, backup, sharing, disaster recovery, and storage expansion
  • Cloud storage gateways realize hybrid cloud applications by working with the cache space reserved on NAS to ensure low-latency data access to the cloud

Product Features

  • Six cores up to 4.7 GHz with up to 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory

Intel Xeon W processors are designed for a wide range of creative professionals. Powered by an Intel Xeon W-1250 6 cores/12 threads 3.3GHz processor (Burst up to 4.7 GHz), the TVS-h1688X has enormous processing power to drive virtual machine performance. The integrated Intel AES-NI encryption engine boosts encryption performance while also maintaining the security of NAS data. With dual-channel modules and four Long-DIMM slots, the TVS-h1688X's DDR4 ECC memory can be upgraded up to 128 GB for memory-intensive and complex multitasking workloads.

  • Thunderbolt 3 + 10Gb Ethernet: perfect for studios and post-production houses

The TVS-h1688X can simultaneously run general Ethernet services with the built-in 10GBASE-T LAN card in addition to the Thunderbolt 3 network, completely independently and with no bandwidth interference. The media resources in the TVS-h1688X can be easily accessed by Thunderbolt and Ethernet workstations for different concurrent tasks with increased productivity.

  • Dual 10GbE connectivity optimizes high-speed data transfer and supports RDMA/RoCE

The TVS-h1688X comes with a pre-installed dual-port 10GBASE-T network card (supports 10GbE/1GbE), supporting failover and up to 20Gb/s bandwidth under Port Trunking, to improve bandwidth-demanding data center and virtualization applications. The 10GbE SmartNIC uses a Broadcom NetXtreme E-Series BCM57416 network controller that supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE and RoCEv2), allowing data to bypass general network drivers, the socket layer, and directly enter the ESXi server and storage memory buffer. RoCE technology can improve NAS performance while lowering the CPU usage of applications that use Ethernet networks, ideal for low-latency and high-speed large data transfers.

  • Set SSD caching to boost IOPS with M.2 NVMe SSD

The TVS-h1688X comes with four 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s drive bays for SSDs and two M.2 NVMe Gen 3 x4 SSD slots that allow you to flexibly configure SSD caching to increase IOPS performance, reduce storage volume latency, and optimize 2.5GbE/10GbE performance. This is especially perfect for databases and virtual machine applications. With dedicated SSD bays/slots, the TVS-h1688X allows you to dedicate all of the 3.5-inch drive bays for high-capacity hard drives, ensuring both maximized storage capacity and performance.
