The ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system improves NAS performance and data integrity
QuTS hero combines the app-based QTS with the 128-bit ZFS file system, providing flexible storage management, comprehensive data protection, and optimized performance to address the complexity and performance demands of modern IT. From storage management and virtualization to collaborative media workflows, QuTS hero optimizes your mission-critical tasks.

Data integrity is key
QuTS hero's self-healing features ensure data integrity and reliability. Write Once, Read Many (WORM) is also supported.

Data reduction improves storage efficiency and performance
Inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction reduce file sizes to preserve storage capacity and optimize performance.

Multi-level cache technology
Main memory read cache (L1 ARC), second-level SSD read cache (L2 ARC), and the ZFS intent log (ZIL) for synchronous transactions with power loss protection are supported simultaneously to increase performance and security.

RAID Z provides reliable data protection
Multiple RAID levels enable flexible capacity utilization. RAID Triple Parity and Triple Mirror offer a higher level of data protection.

QSAL (QNAP SSD Antiwear Leveling) improves data security
SSD lifespan at RAID level is automatically and periodically detected to prevent simultaneous SSD failure and improve your data security and system reliability.

App Center ecosystem extends NAS functionality
Apps for backup/sync, virtual machines/containers, content management, productivity, and other functions can be used to expand the application potential of the TS-h2490FU.

Inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction improve SSD endurance
QuTS hero supports advanced block-based data reduction technologies (including inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction) to reduce file sizes, save storage capacity, and optimize performance. For example, if 20 virtual machines are replicated on a NAS using the same template, the storage requirements for all 20 virtual machines can be reduced by up to 95%. Whether for primary or backup storage, the TS-h2490FU optimizes storage utilization to provide a reliable storage cornerstone in the Big Data era. All-flash solutions thus achieve greater cost efficiency while improving random write performance and SSD endurance.

Optimization technologies for higher SSD performance and lifespan
Writing coalescence
Converts all random writes to sequential writes with reduced I/O, effectively increasing write performance in all-flash environments.

Pool overprovisioning
Dedicated storage space can be flexibly reserved in an SSD storage pool so that new data can be written to a complete block even when the pool is almost full, thus improving the performance of fragmented pools.

TRIM
Allows QuTS hero to inform SSDs, delete unnecessary data blocks and process the deletion tasks during system idle time, i.e. it does not have to wait for new data to be written to the block.

Real-time SnapSync ensures minimal RPO with real-time disaster recovery
Real-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 easily adjust the permission settings of the secondary NAS to ensure continuous operation. SnapSync provides the strongest support for uninterrupted business operations and helps users reduce the risk of data loss.

Snapshots multiply backup protection
With virtually unlimited, instant snapshots, you no longer have to worry. Copy-on-write technology creates snapshots almost instantly, without impacting ongoing data writing. Snapshot Replica replicates snapshot files to the backup NAS, simplifying data backup with version control.

HBS simplifies 3-2-1 backup plans
HBS centralizes backup, recovery, and synchronization for easy data transfer from the TS-h2490FU to another QNAP NAS, a remote server, or cloud storage. HBS supports QuDedup technology, which eliminates redundant data at the source and accelerates multi-version backup.

All-in-one hosting solution for virtual machines and containers
You can rely on Virtualization Station and Container Station for comprehensive virtualization support. Combined with the Network & Virtual Switch app, which enhances interoperability between virtual machines, containers, QNAP NAS, and other physical devices on the network, you can flexibly allocate physical and virtual network resources and simplify network deployment.

Virtualization Station

– Supports VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX to improve performance by reducing server load for ESXi servers and Hyper-V, respectively; and supports QNAP vSphere Client Plug-in for more efficient operation and management in virtualization applications.

Building a cost-effective Fibre Channel SAN environment
SAN (Common Fibre Channel Storage Area Network) devices are often expensive. By installing a QNAP dual-port 16Gb/32Gb Fibre Channel expansion card in the TS-h2490FU, you have more budget-friendly options for adding a NAS to a SAN environment. The iSCSI and Fibre Channel app allows you to specify a Fibre Channel target. Furthermore, the LUN masking and port binding features provide an additional layer of data security.
