Absolute performance with AMD Ryzen™ and up to 64GB of RAM
Powered by a quad-core AMD Ryzen™ V1500B 2.2GHz processor with AES-NI encryption acceleration and up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM, the rack-mounted TS-1673AU-RP delivers smart yet aggressive performance to run resource-intensive business applications such as VDI, R&D, private cloud, and server virtualization.
Block-based iSCSI LUN: The ideal choice for virtualization storage
The TS-1673AU-RP supports block-based iSCSI LUNs and is compatible with VMware©, Citrix©, Microsoft© Hyper-V©, and Windows Server© 2019 virtualization environments, providing an affordable, high-performance storage solution. The TS-1673AU-RP also supports VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX to boost performance by offloading tasks from the ESXi and Hyper-V servers, respectively. The QNAP vSphere Client plug-in is also supported, improving operational efficiency and management in virtualization applications.
Optimized performance for VMware virtualization thanks to iSER
The iSER (iSCSI Extensions for RDMA) protocol boosts data transfer performance for VMware© ESXi storage and reduces the CPU load on the ESXi server. iSER support can be added to the TS-1673AU-RP by installing a QNAP QXG-10G2SF-CX4 10GbE PCIe card that uses the NVIDIA© Mellanox ConnectX-4 controller. iSER can provide a significant performance increase, offering an essential tool for optimizing demanding virtualization applications.
All-in-one server for hosting virtual machines and containers
Whatever your virtualization needs, you can rely on Virtualization Station and Container Station for comprehensive virtualization support. Use the Network & Virtual Switch app to allocate the appropriate physical network resources to virtual machines, containers, and the TS-1673AU-RP to simplify network deployment.
Upgrade to a 2.5GbE network
The TS-1673AU-RP comes with two 2.5GbE RJ45 network ports, allowing you to use existing CAT5e cables to upgrade network speeds from 1 to 2.5 Gigabit. You can also achieve 5GbE speeds using Port Aggregation. To upgrade your laptops and desktops to take advantage of high-speed networks, QNAP offers various adapters and peripherals, including a USB 3.2 Gen 1 to 5GbE adapter (model name QNA-UC5G1T) and a 5GbE PCIe expansion card (model name QXG-5G1T-111C).
Transform your network with an affordable 2.5GbE switch
You shouldn't break the bank to upgrade your network, and 2.5GbE connectivity immediately provides noticeable improvements over standard 1GbE. The QSW-1105-5T is an unmanaged switch with five 2.5GbE ports (backward compatible with 1GbE/100M) that supports CAT5e cables for connecting multiple computers and NAS devices. The QSW-1105-5T is energy-efficient, quiet, plug-and-play, and supports loop detection and blocking to provide a simple and effective high-speed network environment.
Large I/O capacities with PCIe expansion
The TS-1673AU-RP features two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots, allowing you to add functionality with compatible PCIe cards. Using a suitable adapter, you can consolidate the two slots into a single PCIe Gen 3 x8 slot.
GPU-accelerated computing
Graphics cards are optimized for graphics processing and calculations but require significantly more power than other hardware. The TS-1673AU-RP supports low-profile, entry-level NVIDIA© GeForce© graphics cards (such as the GT 1030 or GT 1050) that do not require additional power. Installing a graphics card can boost the performance of applications such as video editing, 4K video transcoding, image processing in QTS, and virtual machine performance via GPU passthrough.
Accelerate IOPS performance with SSD caching
Adding an SSD cache to the TS-1673AU-RP is a simple way to improve IOPS performance and reduce storage volume latency. It's ideal for IOPS-intensive applications (especially databases and virtualization) and can significantly improve overall workflows. You can start, stop, or modify settings at any time to suit your needs without shutting down the system.
Migrate business data to the cloud smoothly and at a lower cost
By deploying cloud storage gateways and enabling local caching on the TS-1673AU-RP, you can perfectly utilize the cloud for data storage, backup, and restoration with low-latency access, thus providing an innovative hybrid cloud experience.
Full backup planning
The TS-1673AU-RP offers reliable and cost-effective solutions for backup planning and disaster recovery.
HBS
It brings together backup, restore and synchronization functions (using RTRR, Rsync, FTP, CIFS/SMB), in order to easily transfer data to local, remote or cloud storage spaces, such as a complete data storage or disaster recovery plan.
Snapshots for Volume and LUN
Snapshots are essential for protecting NAS data, and their block-level functionality makes them a reliable method for safeguarding against the growing threat of ransomware. The TS-1673AU-RP supports up to 256 snapshots per volume/LUN, and up to 1,024 snapshots per NAS.
VM backup
Thanks to high performance, huge storage potential, built-in virtualization solutions, and support for snapshots that record the system state at any time, the TS-1673AU-RP is perfect for backing up virtual machines.

Hyper Data Protector includes incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling, and restore compression, providing you with a cost-effective and reliable disaster recovery plan. This ensures your services operate 24/7.
Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environment
Typical Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) devices are often expensive. By installing a QNAP 16 Gbps Fibre Channel card (QXP-16G2FC 16Gb) in the TS-1673AU-RP, you can configure a Fibre Channel Target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app. Additionally, LUN masking and port binding features provide an extra layer of data security.
