Easy backup
Superior hardware performance with an all-in-one backup solution to accelerate backup/restore tasks.

Multi-version snapshots mitigate ransomware threats
The TS-AI642 supports block-based snapshots that record the system state at any point in time. This helps protect data that can be restored at any time, significantly reducing the ransomware threat.

Volume and LUN snapshots
Create snapshots in seconds and restore the entire volume/LUN to a specific point in time to prevent the loss of important data.

Instant recovery of snapshots
Snapshot contents can be quickly restored to a local NAS, or on a folder/file basis to a local/remote NAS, or to cloud storage. You can also conveniently view and restore snapshots from the client side.

Back up snapshots
Multiply your data protection by backing up snapshot files! Replicate volume/LUN snapshots in the TS-AI642 to a remote NAS (Snapshot Replica) by copying only the changes made. This saves time and bandwidth and can be performed manually or on a schedule.

Host container applications
If you're curious about Docker or a hobbyist developer, the Container Station on the TS-AI642 integrates lightweight Docker® virtualization technology, allowing you to run all kinds of self-contained applications. You can download apps from the integrated Docker Hub®, including popular and fully configured applications, and deploy them with just one click. From smart homes to multimedia applications, you can unleash your creativity and bring containerized applications to life.
