 Business Series Turbo NAS 

The Turbo NAS provides various backup solutions including the Windows-
based utility NetBak Replicator for data backup from PCs to the NAS and 
Apple Time Machine support for backup from Mac OS. The NAS data can 
also be backed up to cloud storage (Amazon S3), remote encrypted remote 
replication, server by, or external storage devices by one touch copy button.

The Turbo NAS supports multiple bonding modes: Balance-rr (Round-Robin), 
Active Backup, Balance XOR, Broadcast, IEEE 802.3ad, Balancetlb (Adaptive 
Transmit Load Balancing) and Balance-alb (Adaptive Load Balancing).

Failover:
The LAN ports can be configured as failover  
which allows the Turbo NAS server to 
sustain the failure of one network port to 
provide continuous services.

Load Balancing:
The dual LAN ports can also be configured 
as load balancing mode for bandwidth 
aggregation to boost the file transfer 
speed. (It works with managed Ethernet 
switch with 802.3ad configured.)

Multi-IP Setting:
The Turbo NAS can be deployed with two 
different IP settings for sharing among 
different workgroups in two different 
subnets.

Windows Active Directory (AD):
The Windows AD feature enables you to retrieve the user accounts from the 
Windows AD server to the NAS to reduce the time and effort for account setup. 
Users can use the same set of login name and password to access the NAS.

Share Folder Aggregation:
You can connect to the share folders of other servers on Microsoft Networking 
through the “portal folder” on the Turbo NAS. This saves your time and effort to 
login different servers one by one.

QNAP Business Series Turbo NAS servers are fully VMware and Citrix ready and 
Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V clusters compliant.

NAS + iSCSI Combo Solution:
The Turbo NAS can serve as a NAS for file sharing and iSCSI storage 
concurrently.

Flexible Management:
The NAS supports 
multiple LUNs (Logical 
Unit Numbers) and 
iSCSI targets. The LUNs 
can be flexibly mapped 
to, unmapped from, 
and switched among 
different iSCSI targets.

Secure Deployment:
Designed with CHAP 
authentication and LUN masking, the advanced ACL (Access Control List) offers 
you the capability to block unauthorized access from the initiators.

Designed for Virtualized and Clustered Environments:
Comparing with the high cost Fibre Channel SAN, the Turbo NAS is an affordable 
system that can be deployed as a storage center for virtualized and clustered 
server environments, such as VMware and Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster.

SPC-3 Persistent Reservation Supported:
The built-in iSCSI service supports enterprise level features such as SPC-3 
persistent reservation for clustering in VMware and Windows 2008. You 
can set up Microsoft Failover Cluster environment and use Cluster Shared 
Volume for Hyper-V. This allows you to execute virtual machine live migration 
between Hyper-V hosts.

Advanced MPIO and MC/S Supported:
With the support of MPIO (Multipath Input Output) and MC/S (Multiple 
Connections per Session) on the Turbo NAS, you can connect to the QNAP 
iSCSI targets using 2 or more network interfaces from your server with failover 
and load balancing. Furthermore, you can achieve better data transmission 
performance with MC/S setting.

The unique "Virtual Disk Drive (VDD)" adds flexibility to expand the capacity 
of the NAS. The Turbo NAS 
can connect to other iSCSI 
targets on the network and 
turn them into virtual disks, 
which become multiple 
single volumes on the NAS. 
Up to 8 virtual disks can be 
stacked. 

The Turbo NAS offers advanced RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 5 + hot spare, 6 + hot spare , 
10 + hot spare

*

, single, and JBOD disk configurations. It also supports hot-swap 

design that a failed drive can be replaced by hot swapping without turning off 
the server.

Policy-based Unauthorized IP Blocking:
You can allow, deny or auto block specified IP address or network domain 
which attempts to connect to Turbo NAS via SSH, Telnet, HTTP(S), FTP, samba, 
AFP.

Remote Login:
The NAS supports remote login by SSH (secure shell) or Telnet connection.

SSL Security (HTTPS):
The Turbo NAS Supports HTTPS connection. You can also upload a secure 
certificate and RSA private key in X.509PEM format issued by a trusted 
provider for the users to access the Turbo NAS by secure SSL login.

Secure FTP:
The NAS offers secure data transfer with SSL/TLS (explicit) encryption. Passive 
FTP port range setup is also supported.

Encrypted Remote Replication by Rsync:
The data on the Turbo NAS can be backed up to or from another Turbo NAS or 
Rsync server over the network securely.

Share Folder Management:
You can select to hide or show the network share folders of the NAS on 
Windows network.

User Authority Management:
You can create user ID and password, and define the authority and quota for 
each user.

*  

The RAID configurations available vary depending on 

to the product models and the number of hard disk 

drives installed.

Online RAID Capacity 
Expansion:
The storage capacity of a 
RAID configuration can be 
expanded by replacing the 
hard drives with larger ones. 
All the data will be kept and 
seamlessly moved to the 
newly installed hard drives.

Online RAID Level 
Migration:
You can upgrade the disk 
configuration to higher 
RAID level with the data 
retained. There is no 
need to turn off the Turbo 
NAS during the process.

The Turbo NAS provides diversified server applications in the business environment.
