TS-435XeU
Short depth rackmount 4-bay NAS, supporting 2.5GbE/10GbE connectivity and M.2 NVMe SSD caching

The compact and feature-rich TS-435XeU provides a professional-grade quad-core NAS solution in short depth rackmount form factor. The native 10GbE SFP+ and 2.5GbE connectivity alongside M.2 NVMe SSD slots that enable cache acceleration allows businesses to efficiently tackle everyday tasks like file backup/restore and to boost team collaboration with higher productivity. The space-efficient short depth design makes the TS-435XeU easy to install in small media cabinets or places with a lot of cabling. Supporting abundant business applications (including file sharing and sync, snapshot protection, containerization, cloud storage gateways, and video streaming), expandable storage capacity, and install-on-demand apps, the TS-435XeU is an ideal cost-effective entry-level rackmount NAS.

Smaller footprint for bigger opportunities
Compared to a traditional 4-bay rackmount NAS, the compact TS-435XeU has a depth of only 11.49 inches (292 mm). This makes the TS-435XeU an excellent choice for smaller racks, and the unused space can be reserved for cabling or ventilation. The TS-435XeU is space-saving for flexible deployment and is especially suitable for multiple locations and applications including offices, audiovisual rooms, and security surveillance recording.

Robust quad-core 2.2 GHz processor
The TS-435XeU is powered by an OCTEON TX2™ infrastructure Marvell® CN9130 series CN9131 ARM®v8 Cortex-A72 quad-core 2.2 GHz processor that features integrated workload-optimized hardware accelerators to meet performance, power and total cost of ownership requirements. The TS-435XeU comes with 4 GB DDR4 memory that can be upgraded to 32 GB for enhanced multi-tasking capabilities, and SATA 6 Gb/s support ensures maximum performance from storage drives.

Streamlined workflows with high-speed 10GbE and 2.5GbE
The TS-435XeU has two 10GbE SFP+ ports and two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports for high-speed networking to satisfy bandwidth-demanding applications (including massive file transfer, high-speed backup/restoration, containers, and multimedia transmission) with the support of port trunking and load balancing. QNAP’s managed and unmanaged 2.5GbE/10GbE switches are a perfect match for organizations to build budget-friendly high-speed networks for productive team collaboration.

Switch operating systems for optimal data integrity and reliability
The TS-673A also supports QuTS hero - QNAP’s ZFS-based NAS operating system. Providing end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline data deduplication, compression and compaction), and much more, QuTS hero uses additional system resources to ensure an optimal environment for protecting business data.

Obtain performance benefits from M.2 SSD caching
The TS-673A features 2 M.2 NVMe SSD slots for you to enjoy SSD caching or Qtier auto tiering Technology

Improve random data access speeds with an SSD cache
SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce latency for storage volumes. They are perfect for IOPS-demanding applications (including databases and virtualization) and can significantly improve overall workflows.

Maximize the value of SSDs with Qtier Technology
Qtier™ Technology empowers the TS-673A with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency by automatically moving data between M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity HDDs based on the data's access frequency. Qtier™ 2.0 features IO-awareness that empowers SSD-tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space to handle burst I/O in real time, greatly maximizing the advantages of SSDs.

Upgrade to 10GbE and abundant capability with PCIe expansion
The TS-673A features two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots that allows for various expansion cards for expanding application potential.

Easy and Secure File Management
File Station allows direct management of files stored on the TS-673A and in the cloud. Users can easily upload files from their PC, drag/drop files between folders, rename/delete files, and configure file/folder permissions to prevent unauthorized access. Microsoft Office Online can also be used to directly view/edit Microsoft Office documents stored on the TS-673A. Confidential/sensitive data can be encrypted to add extra security.

Install a graphics card for GPU-accelerated computing
Graphics cards are optimized for graphical calculations and transformations, but require significantly more power than other hardware. The TS-673A features PCIe slots to support high-profile graphics cards that do not need power cables, including NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX1650 graphics cards to boost performance of applications such as video editing , 4K UHD transcoding, imaging processing in QTS and performance of virtual machines via GPU passthrough.

Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environment
Common Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing a QNAP 16Gb Fibre Channel card (QXP-16G2FC 16Gb) in the TS-673A, 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.

High-speed 2.5GbE VM Backup Solution
With Hyper Data Protector, the TS-673A becomes an agentless backup tool for unlimited VMware® vSphere and Microsoft® Hyper-V VM backup. Hyper Data Protector features incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling and recovery compression. With 2.5GbE connectivity, backup and restoration times are greatly reduced, providing a cost-effective solution for disaster recovery.
