Description
Equipped with a quad-core AMD Ryzen™ V1500B processor from the V1000 series, delivering high system performance with up to 4 cores/8 threads and a Turbo Core of 2.2 GHz, the TS-873A features two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and two PCIe Gen 3 slots for easy deployment of 5GbE/10GbE networks. Two M.2 NVMe SSD slots for Qtier technology and SSD caching ensure continuous storage optimization. The TS-873A supports QTS and QuTS hero, allowing users to flexibly switch operating systems as needed.
High-performance AMD Ryzen™ processor
The TS-873A is powered by a quad-core AMD Ryzen™ V1500 processor from the V1000 series, clocked at 2.2 GHz, with up to 64 GB of RAM (ECC memory is supported*) and includes USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports for speeds up to 10 Gbps. The TS-873A also features a USB Type-C port to support multiple devices for transferring large media files, resulting in a more efficient workflow.
* Using ECC memory requires removing the pre-installed memory, since you cannot use non-ECC memory with ECC memory.
Transform your network with a 2.5GbE switch that fits your budget.
You shouldn't break the bank to upgrade your network, and 2.5GbE connectivity immediately delivers noticeable improvements over standard 1GbE. QNAP offers 2.5GbE switches that support Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T™ and allow you to use existing CAT5e cables to connect multiple computers and NAS devices. This helps organizations build high-speed, secure, and scalable network environments without exceeding their budget.
Switch operating systems for optimal data integrity and reliability.
The TS-873A also supports QuTS hero – QNAP's ZFS-based NAS operating system. Offering end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline deduplication, compression, and data compaction), and more, QuTS hero utilizes additional system resources to ensure an optimal environment for protecting business data.
Get more performance thanks to the M.2 SSD cache
The TS-873A includes two M.2 NVMe SSD slots so you can take advantage of SSD caching or Qtier auto-tiering technology.
Improve access speeds to random data with SSD caching
SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce latency for storage volumes. They are ideal for IOPS-intensive applications (including databases and virtualization) and can significantly improve entire workflows.
Maximize the value of SSDs with Qtier technology
Qtier™ technology enhances the TS-873A with automatic tiering, which helps continuously optimize storage efficiency by automatically moving data between M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity hard drives based on data access frequency. Qtier™ 2.0 includes I/O awareness, which allows SSD storage to be prioritized with a reserved space acting as a cache to handle real-time burst I/O, greatly maximizing the benefits of SSDs.
Upgrade to 10GbE and a wide range of capabilities with the PCIe expansion.
The TS-873A includes two PCIe 3 x4 slots which allow for the installation of expansion cards to increase the potential of applications.
Easy and secure file management
File Station allows direct management of files stored on the TS-873A and in the cloud. Users can easily transfer files from their PC, drag and drop files between folders, rename and delete files, and configure folder and file permissions to prevent unauthorized access. Microsoft Office Online can also be used to directly view and edit Microsoft Office documents stored on the TS-873A. Confidential and sensitive data can be encrypted for enhanced security.
Install a graphics card for GPU-accelerated calculations
Graphics cards are optimized for graphics processing and calculations but require significantly more power than other hardware. The TS-873A includes PCIe slots to support high-profile graphics cards that do not require power cables, including NVIDIA© GeForce© GTX 1650 graphics cards to boost the performance of applications such as video editing, 4K UHD transcoding, image processing in QTS, and virtual machine performance via GPU passthrough.
Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environment
Typical Fibre Channel SAN devices are often expensive. By installing a QNAP 16 Gbps Fibre Channel card (QXP-16G2FC 16Gb) in the TS-873A, 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.
High-speed 2.5GbE VM backup solution
Thanks to Hyper Data Protector, the TS-873A becomes an agentless backup tool for unlimited VMware® vSphere and Microsoft® Hyper-V VM backups. Hyper Data Protector includes incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling, and restore compression. With 2.5GbE connectivity, backup and restore times are significantly reduced, providing a cost-effective disaster recovery solution.
