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.

New iSCSI for Virtualization Deployments
NAS + iSCSI storage solution:
The Turbo NAS can serve as a NAS for file sharing and
iSCSI storage concurrently.

Flexible multiple LUNs 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.

Virtual Disk Expansion
The unique "Virtual Disk Drive" adds flexibility to expand the capacity of
NAS. By using the built-in iSCSI initiator, the 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 NAS serves as the storage stack chaining master. The user
only needs to connect to this single entry (QNAP NAS) and is able to reach
and use all the iSCSI LUN on the network.

Online RAID Capacity Expansion:
The storage capacity of a RAID configuration can be expanded by replacing
the larger hard drives. All the data will be kept and seamlessly moved to the
newly installed hard drives without turning off the server.
