Comprehensive Event Logs:
Detailed logs of file-level data access to the Turbo 
NAS via SAMBA, iSCSI, FTP, AFP, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, 
and SSH, and networking services accessed by online 
users are all recorded.

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.

Online RAID Level Migration:
You can upgrade the disk configuration to higher RAID level with the 
data retained without turning off the server.

* 

The RAID configurations available vary according to the product models and

   the number of hard disk drives installed.

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

*

, single disk, and JBOD disk configurations. It also supports hot-swap design that a failed member 

drive of a RAID configuration (RAID 1 or above only) can be replaced by hot swapping without turning off the server. 

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

The Turbo NAS provides a number of powerful features for you to 
manage the server more efficiently at lower cost.

The NAS offers complete backup 
solution for data protection, including 
cloud-based storage backup (Amazon 
S3), Apple Time Machine support, 
encrypted remote replication, third 
party software backup, one-touch-
copy backup and QNAP exclusive 
Windows-based utility NetBak 
Replicator. The users can choose 
different backup modes for redundant 
data backup.

Instant SMS & Email Alert: 
You can configure the SMTP server and SMSC server 
settings on the NAS to receive instant system warning 
or error messages by email and/or SMS.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): 
You can collect the information, warning or error of 
the Turbo NAS and send to maximum 3 SNMP 
servers for centralized management and real-time 
monitoring.

Wake on LAN:
Enable this option to power on the Turbo NAS 
remotely by Wake on LAN. Wake on LAN helps you 
manage your NAS conveniently.

1. Data flow from clients
2. Data traffic is evenly distributed
    to balance network loading

Secondary Network Connection

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.

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

S.M.A.R.T. & Advanced HDD Health Scanning (HHS)
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting 
Technology) helps you to monitor the HDD status. 
Moreover, the Turbo NAS is embedded with HHS 
(HDD Health Scan) which supports disk checking 
and bad blocks scanning.

Share Folder Aggregation:
You can easily access 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.

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. 
The users can use the same set of login name and password to access the NAS.

The disk volume with AES 256-bit encryption can 
only be accessed by an authorized encryption 
password or key. This prevents the NAS data from 
unauthorized access and data breach even if the 
hard drives were stolen.

*

Two operating systems are built on the DOM of the 
Turbo NAS for system booting alternatively upon every 
system startup. When one fails, the other one will be 
used to boot up the NAS, and the failed OS is 
recoverable from the other healthy OS.

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.

Modern business faces the challenge of dramatic growth of digital data, including 
documents, emails, applications, and so on. To deploy the IT environment with a 
reliable, affordable and expandable storage center to securely store, share, and 
back up the digital assets has become an important task for the server managers 
of the SMB and entry-level enterprise nowadays. 

The Turbo NAS is the 

brand-new rackmount chassis network attached storage (NAS) server to satisfy 
these requirements. 

The new Turbo NAS is the powerful network attached storage (NAS) server, 
which is designed to provide an affordable and easy-to-management 
solution with iSCSI service for virtualized and clustered environment. The 
Turbo NAS also offers versatile business applications to maximize the 
efficiency of the data center in the business environment.

The Most Affordable and Flexible Virtualization Solution
The Turbo NAS is certified as compatible with VMware® vSphere4 (ESX/ ESXi 
4.0 and above) and Citrix XenServer virtualization platform. The NAS can be 
utilized as the networked shared storage of VMware and Citrix virtualization 
environments and Windows cluster servers. Comparing with traditional SAN 
(Storage Area Network), the Turbo NAS is a competitive alternative with much 
lower setup and maintenance costs in an IP SAN.

All-in-one Application Server 
Turbo NAS is a file server, FTP server, printer server, virtual-host supported web 
server, backup server, and more. The NAS offers leading services such as 
Windows AD support, WebDAV remote file access, shared folder aggregation 
(DFS), dual IPv6 and IPv4 Internet protocols support, Wake on LAN, scheduled 
power on/off management, UPS, ISO image backup and sharing, comprehensive 
event logs, automatic IP filtering, Multimedia Station, QMobile app, and more.

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.

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

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.

The Turbo NAS provides flexible and secure storage server deployment with the following enhanced iSCSI features:

LUN1 for

server #1

LUN2 for

server #2

LUN3 for

server #3

VM-Server #1

VM-Server #3

VM-Server #2

the network (max. 3 printers).

Surveillance Station: 
You can connect to maximum 4 IP cameras 
via Turbo NAS for monitoring, recording, 
and playback.
