QNAP TS-873AeU NAS Series Launched

QNAP has announced the 2U short-depth rackmount TS-873AeU NAS series (models TS-873AeU single power supply and TS-873AeU-RP redundant power supply) equipped with high-performance and energy-efficient AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 series V1500B 4-core/8-thread, 2.2GHz processors.

QNAP has announced the 2U short-depth rackmount TS-873AeU NAS series (models TS-873AeU single power supply and TS-873AeU-RP redundant power supply) equipped with high-performance and energy-efficient AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 series V1500B 4-core/8-thread, 2.2GHz processors.

The QNAP TS-873AeU series is designed to handle resource-demanding applications and tasks, including virtual machines, intensive multi-user access, or hybrid cloud applications. QNAP says that, as a result, this makes the new rackmount NAS a cost-efficient solution for businesses that depend on virtualization or VDI applications.

With a depth design of 11.7 inches, the new 2U rackmount TS-873AeU series is a fairly compact solution, which makes it great for smaller racks, wall-mount AV rack cabinets, and network rack cabinets. The new QNAP NAS can also be easily deployed in locations like offices, audiovisual rooms, and for applications such as security surveillance recording.

For connectivity, the TS-873AeU series is equipped with two 2.5GbE RJ45 LAN ports, with 5GbE connectivity attainable via Port Trunking. Also available are two M.2 PCIe Gen 3×1 slots for SSD caching or SSD storage pools to improve performance overall performance (or Edge TPU for AI image recognition). Further flexibility can be added by populating the PCIe Gen3x8 slot with 25/10GbE network cards, M.2 SSD NVMe cards, or Fibre Channel cards.

The QNAP TS-873AeU can be outfitted with up to 64GB of DDR4 SODIMM RAM (4GB standard) and supports 8 x 3.5-inch SATA (6Gb/s, 3Gb/s) drives.
