The 2U rackmount TS-873AeU-RP has a short depth design of only 11.7 inches (297.4 mm), making it an excellent choice for smaller racks, wall-mount AV rack cabinets, and network rack cabinets. The space saved by the short depth design can be reserved for cabling or ventilation. The TS-873AeU-RP is space-saving for flexible deployment and is especially suitable for multiple locations and applications including offices, audiovisual rooms, and security surveillance recording.
Powered by a 4-core/8-thread AMD Ryzen V1500B 2.2GHz processor with AES-NI encryption acceleration and up to 64GB DDR4 RAM (supports ECC RAM), the rackmount TS-873AeU-RP delivers aggressive yet power-smart performance to drive resource-demanding business applications such as VDI, R&D, private cloud, and server virtualization.
The TS-873AeU-RP comes with two 2.5GbE RJ45 LAN ports that allow you to use existing CAT5e cables to upgrade network speeds from 1 Gigabit to 2.5 Gigabit. 5GbE speeds can also be attained by using Port Trunking.
The 8-bay TS-873AeU-RP is equipped with two M.2 PCIe Gen3 x 1 slots, enabling cache acceleration or SSD storage pools for improved performance, or Edge TPU for AI image recognition.
The TS-873AeU-RP supports SSD caching and features two M.2 slots that support M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs with 2280 form factors (sold separately) for boosting overall NAS performance. Qtier technology can also be used to empower the TS-873AeU-RP with auto tiering that helps continuously optimize storage efficiency across all installed storage devices.
By leveraging a Google Edge TPU to QNAP AI Core (the AI-powered engine for image recognition), the TS-873AeU-RP can perform high-speed face and object recognition. Google Edge TPU enables QuMagie to quickly process thousands of photos with high-speed AI Image recognition and classification, and QVR Face to analyze real-time video for instant facial recognition.
The TS-873AeU-RP has a PCIe Gen 3 x 8 slot that allows for installing various expansion cards for expanding application potential.
Common Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing QNAP dual-port 16Gb Fibre Channel expansion cards in the TS-873AeU-RP, you have more budget-friendly options to add a NAS to a SAN environment. You can set a Fibre Channel Target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app. Moreover, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an additional layer of data security.
The TS-873AeU-RP supports various apps that cover all your backup needs. Practice safe IT habits by regularly backing up files and device content, allowing them to be easily restored when needed.
For Windows, install NetBak Replicator to back up your PC to QNAP NAS. In macOS, just set up the built-in Time Machine to secure your data.
Hybrid Backup Sync makes it easy to back up data from a TS-873AeU-RP to another QNAP NAS or remote server to fulfill your 3-2-1 backup strategy.
Enjoy license-free VMware and Hyper-V VM backup with source-side incremental backup, global deduplication, and recovery compression.
Safeguard enterprise cloud data by backing up/syncing files, emails, calendars, and contacts from Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365 to the NAS.
The TS-873AeU-RP supports block-based snapshots that record the state of the system at any time. It helps protect data, which can be restored back to a specific point of time, greatly helping in mitigating the threat of ransomware.
Take snapshots in seconds and revert the entire volume/LUN back to a specific point in time to prevent loss of important data.
Snapshot content can be quickly restored to a local NAS, or restored on a folder/file basis to a local/remote NAS or cloud storage. You can also conveniently view and restore snapshots from the client side.
The TS-873AeU-RP supports block-based iSCSI LUN as a reliable, high-performance, and affordable storage solution for mainstream virtualization environments. It supports VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX to increase performance by offloading server loading for ESXi server and Hyper-V respectively.
The iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol boosts 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-873AeU-RP by installing a QNAP QXG-25G2SF-CX6 25GbE PCIe card, which uses the Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx controller. iSER can provide a significant increase in performance, providing an essential tool to optimize demanding virtualization applications.
By running multiple virtual machines and containers on the TS-873AeU-RP, you can deploy multi-tenant environments and applications to increase management efficiency and save hardware costs. Coupled with the Network & Virtual Switch app that boosts interoperability between virtual machines, containers, QNAP NAS, and other physical devices on the network, you can flexibly allocate physical and virtual network resources to simplify network deployment.
Run multiple Windows, Linux, UNIX, Android, and QuTScloud virtual machines and access them via a web browser or Virtual Network Computing (VNC). Businesses can run virtualized server applications on a single NAS without needing additional physical servers.
Experience Docker, LXD, and Kata Containers lightweight virtualization technologies, download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry, import/export containers, and create abundant microservices.
