Block-based iSCSI LUN: The ideal choice for virtualization storage
The TS-1273AU-RP supports block-based iSCSI LUNs and is compatible with VMware®, Citrix®, Microsoft® Hyper-V®, and Windows Server® 2019 virtualization environments to provide a high-performance and affordable storage solution. The TS-1273AU-RP also supports VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX to improve performance by reducing the server load on ESXi servers and Hyper-V. It also supports the QNAP vSphere Client plug-in for improved efficiency in operation and management within virtualization applications.

Optimized performance for VMware virtualization with iSER
The iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol increases the data transfer performance of VMware® ESXi storage and reduces the CPU load of the ESXi server. iSER support can be added to the TS-1273AU-RP by installing a QNAP QXG-10G2SF-CX4 10GbE PCIe card, which uses the NVIDIA® Mellanox ConnectX-4 controller. iSER can provide a significant performance boost and is an important tool for optimizing demanding virtualization applications.

All-in-one server for hosting virtual machines and containers
Regardless of your virtualization needs, you can rely on Virtualization Station and Container Station for complete virtualization support. The Network & Virtual Switch app allows you to allocate appropriate physical network resources to virtual machines, containers, and the TS-1273AU-RP, simplifying network deployment.

Upgrade to 2.5GbE network
The TS-1273AU-RP features two 2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN ports, allowing you to use existing CAT5e cables to increase network speeds from 1 Gigabit to 2.5 Gigabit. 5GbE speeds can also be achieved through port trunking. To upgrade your laptops and desktops and take advantage of high-speed networks, QNAP offers various adapters and peripherals, including a USB 3.2 Gen 1 to 5GbE adapter (model QNA-UC5G1T) and a 5GbE PCIe expansion card (model QXG-5G1T-111C).

Transform your network with an affordable 2.5GbE switch
Upgrading your network shouldn“t break the bank, and 2.5GbE connectivity offers immediately noticeable improvements over standard 1GbE. The QSW-1105-5T is an unmanaged switch with five 2.5GbE ports (backward compatible with 1G/100M) and supports CAT5e cabling for connecting multiple computers and NAS devices. The QSW-1105-5T is energy-efficient, quiet, ready to use right out of the box, and supports loop detection and blocking to create a simple and effective high-speed network environment.

Extensive I/O capabilities with PCIe expansion
The TS-1273AU-RP features two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots, allowing you to add functionality with compatible PCIe cards. By using a suitable adapter, you can combine both slots into a single PCIe Gen 3 x8 slot.

GPU-accelerated calculations
Graphics cards are optimized for graphical calculations and transformations, but they require significantly more power than other hardware. The TS-1273AU-RP supports entry-level, low-profile NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics cards (such as the GT 1030 or GT 1050), which do not require an additional power supply. Installing a graphics card can improve the performance of applications such as video editing, 4K video transcoding, image processing in QTS, and virtual machine performance via GPU passthrough.

Boost IOPS performance with SSD caching
Adding an SSD cache to the TS-1273AU-RP is a simple way to increase IOPS performance and reduce storage volume latency. It“s ideal for IOPS-intensive applications (such as databases and virtualization) and significantly improves overall workflow. You can start, stop, or change the settings at any time without having to shut down the system.

Move business data flexibly and cost-effectively to the cloud
By using cloud storage gateways and enabling local caching on the TS-1273AU-RP, you can seamlessly leverage the cloud for storage, backup, and data recovery with low-latency access, thus providing an innovative hybrid cloud experience.

Complete security planning
The TS-1273AU-RP offers reliable and cost-effective solutions for backup and disaster recovery planning.

High-speed VM backup solution
With Hyper Data Protector, the TS-1273AU-RP becomes an agentless backup tool for unlimited VMware® vSphere and Microsoft® Hyper-V VM backup. Hyper Data Protector offers incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling, and recovery compression, providing you with a cost-effective and reliable disaster recovery plan for 24/7 operation of your services.

Building a cost-effective Fibre Channel SAN environment
Traditional Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often expensive. By installing a QNAP 16Gb Fibre Channel card (QXP-16G2FC 16Gb) in the TS-1273AU-RP, you can define a Fibre Channel target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app. Furthermore, LUN masking and port binding provide an additional layer of security for your data.

Switching operating systems for optimal data integrity and reliability
The TS-1273AU-RP also supports QuTS hero – QNAP“s ZFS-based NAS operating system. QuTS hero offers end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction), and much more, utilizing additional system resources to ensure an optimal environment for protecting business data.
