For example if 20 virtual machines on a NAS are replicated using the same template then storage space requirements for all 20 virtual machines can be reduced by up to 95%. Whether acting as primary or backup storage the TS-h973AX optimizes storage utilization to provide a reliable storage cornerstone in the Big Data era.N/AN/AReal-time SnapSync ensures minimal RPO with real-time disaster recoveryN/AReal-time SnapSync ensures that both the primary and secondary NAS maintain identical data. When data is written to the source it is immediately written to the destination. If the primary NAS goes offline IT staff can simply adjust the privilege settings of the secondary NAS to ensure continuous operations. SnapSync provides the strongest support for nonstop business operations and helps users to reduce the risk of data loss.N/AN/AThe TS-h973AX also supports snapshots and remote backup to help organizations accomplish routine backup tasks cost-effectively and efficiently.N/AN/ASnapshots multiply backup protectionN/AAttain peace of mind with near-limitless instant snapshots. Copy-on-write technology makes snapshot creation almost instantaneous without affecting ongoing data writing. Snapshot Replica replicates snapshot files to the backup NAS simplifying data protection with version control.N/AN/AHBS simplifies 3-2-1 backup plansN/AHBS centralizes backup restoration and synchronization for easily transferring data in the TS-h973AX to another QNAP NAS remote server or cloud storage space. HBS supports QuDedup technology that eliminates redundant data at the source and makes multi-version backup faster.N/AN/AAll-in-one virtual machine and container hosting solutionN/AYou can count on Virtualization Station and Container Station for comprehensive virtualization support. 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.N/AN/AVirtualization StationN/ARun multiple Windows Linux UNIX and Android 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 the need for additional physical servers.N/AN/AContainer StationN/AExperience LXC and Docker lightweight virtualization technologies download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry import and export containers and create abundant microservices.N/AN/AMore productivity applicationsN/AN/AUbuntu Linux StationN/ARun Ubuntu applications (including apps from the Ubuntu Software Center) directly on the TS-h973AX and remotely access the Ubuntu desktop from a web browser.N/AN/ASecurity CounselorN/AA security portal for checking weaknesses and receiving recommendations for enhancing NAS security.
