Description QNAP TS-1273AU-RP-8G 12 Bay Enclosure TS-1273AU-RPHigh-performance dual-2.5GbE NAS Powered by a Quad-core AMD Ryzen™ processor supporting 10GbE or M.2 SSD caching PCIe expandability for virtual applicationsWith its powerful AMD Ryzen™ V1000 series V1500B Quad-core processor the TS-1273AU-RP is capable of boosting virtual machine performance with up to 4 cores/8 threads at 2.2GHz. The TS-1273AU-RP includes two 2.5GbE ports and two PCIe Gen 3 slots providing you with fast network connectivity and the ability to add extra functionality and additional application potential. The TS-1273AU-RP also features a redundant power supply to ensure maximum system uptime. Cutting-edge hardware integrated with comprehensive software solutions makes the TS-1273AU-RP the preeminent choice to tackle resource-demanding applications and tasks. The TS-1273AU-RP supports QTS and QuTS hero allowing users to flexibly switch operating system based on their requirements. Absolute performance with AMD Ryzen and up to 64GB RAMPowered by a 4-core/8-thread AMD Ryzen™ V1500B 2.2GHz processor with AES-NI encryption acceleration and up to 64GB DDR4 RAM the rackmount TS-1273AU-RP delivers aggressive yet power-smart performance to drive resource-demanding business applications such as VDI Rand;D private cloud and server virtualization. Optimized performance for VMware Virtualization with iSERThe 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-1273AU-RP by installing a QNAP QXG-10G2SF-CX4 10GbE PCIe card which uses the NVIDIA® Mellanox ConnectX-4 controller. iSER can provide a significant increase in performance providing an essential tool to optimize demanding virtualization applications. All-in-one server to host virtual machines and containersRegardless of your virtualization needs you can count on Virtualization Station and Container Station for complete virtualization support. Use the Network and; Virtual Switch app to allocate adequate physical network resources to virtual machines containers and the TS-1273AU-RP to simplify network deployment. Transform your network with a wallet-friendly 2.5GbE switchUpgrading your network shouldn’t break the bank and 2.5GbE connectivity provides immediately noticeable improvements compared to standard 1GbE. The QSW-1105-5T is an unmanaged switch with five 2.5GbE ports (backwards compatible with 1G/100M) and supports CAT5e cables to connect multiple computers and NAS. The QSW-1105-5T is energy-saving low-noise plug-and-use and supports loop detection and blocking to provide a simple and effective high-speed network environment. Abundant I/O capabilities with PCIe expansionThe TS-1273AU-RP includes two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots allowing you to add additional functionality with compatible PCIe cards. By using a suitable adapter you can consolidate both slots into a single PCIe Gen 3 x8 slot. GPU-accelerated computingGraphics cards are optimized for graphical calculations and transformations but require significantly more power than other hardware. The TS-1273AU-RP supports entry-level low-profile NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics cards (such as the GT 1030 or GT 1050) that do not require additional power. Installing a graphics card can boost performance of applications such as video editing 4K video transcoding imaging processing in QTS and the performance of virtual machines via GPU passthrough. Accelerate IOPS performance with SSD CachingAdding an SSD cache to the TS-1273AU-RP is an easy way to increase IOPS performance and reducing storage volume latency. It is perfect for IOPS-demanding applications (including databases and virtualization) and can significantly improve overall workflows. You can laun
