QNAP Launches 16-Bay TS-1635 NAS with Dual 10GbE

QNAP released the new 16-bay TS-1635 business NAS which is a cost-effective yet powerful storage solution for an impressive amount of total storage, performance boost, and with great connectivity which includes dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The TS-1635 supports twelve 3.5-inch HDDs and four 2.5-inch SSDs to accommodate massive data storage. The cost-effective quad-core NAS comes with dual 10Gbe ports and dual Gigabit ports, meeting the demands for next-generation networks, high-speed file transfer, and helping small/medium businesses to reduce the cost of implementing 10GbE solutions.

It comes equipped with an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-514 quad-core 1.7 GHz ARM Cortex-A15 processor by Amazon and either 4GB or 8GB DDR3 RAM (upgradable to 16GB) and it can provide hardware-accelerated encryption that can deliver up to 700 MB/s throughput. With the dedicated 2.5-inch bays for SSD caching and two integrated 10GbE SFP+ ports, the TS-1635 can deliver up to an impressive 1228 MB/s read and 874 MB/s write speeds, making it the ideal choice for users looking for high-speed data transfer.

“Compared with similar products, the TS-1635 provides the most budget-friendly, high-capacity NAS solution for small/medium businesses. It supports up to 16 hard drives, creating epic storage potential with high-capacity HDDs and high-performance SSDs,” said Jason Hsu, Product Manager of QNAP, adding “with two integrated 10GbE ports, the TS-1635 also provides an affordable entryway for 10GbE adoption by small/medium businesses.”

The new high-capacity TS-1635 provides multiple storage applications, among them the newly introduced VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) where users can leverage the high-capacity TS-1635 to expand the storage space of other QNAP NAS and create virtual storage pools and volumes on virtual disks for operating NAS services. To maximize the storage space of the TS-1635, users can also connect up to two QNAP expansion enclosures (UX-800P / UX-500P) for even more capacity with 16 more drives. With this massive capacity potential, the TS-1635 is especially ideal for storing surveillance videos and it comes with 8 free IP camera channels (expandable to 40 channels by purchasing additional licenses).

It also features all the other awesome QNAP features that we have come to know and love, including the Container Station for virtualization technologies, QIoT Containers for IoT cloud platform, Qsirch search feature, QmailAgent, and much more.
