“NVMe revolutionizes storage I/O performance and connectivity for eliminating productivity bottlenecks in modern data centers,” said David Tsao, product manager. “The U.2 NVMe all-flash TS-h2490FU is perfect for I/O-intensive and latency-sensitive applications, and leverages the many advantages of ZFS to multiply SSD performance advantages. After comprehensive evaluation, we also recommend Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN640 NVMe Data Center SSDs for attaining outstanding performance and reliability with the TS-h2490FU.“

“NVMe is having a substantial impact on enterprises and what they can do with data, and Western Digital Ultrastar NVMe SSDs deliver excellent performance, endurance, and reliability for today’s evolving data center workloads,” said Swapna Yasarapu, senior director, data center SSD flash, Western Digital Corp. “We are pleased to partner with Qnap for their TS-h2490FU NVMe all-flash storage solution to demonstrate how Ultrastar NVMe SSDs can improve storage performance, efficiency, and overall TCO for modern IT infrastructure.“

Armed with 2nd Gen AMD EPYC 7002 series processors, the all-flash TS-h2490FU delivers performance and ensures 32Gb/s bandwidth for each individual NVMe SSD.

The TS-h2490FU-7302P-128G model comes with 2 pre-installed Broadcom dual-port 25GbE SFP28 SmartNICs, allowing for up to 100Gb/s transfer speeds under Port Trunking. Five PCIe Gen 4 slots are included for extending core NAS functionality, for example, adding additional high-speed network interface cards, QM2 cards to add M.2 SSDs, and storage expansion cards to connect the firm’s SAS/SATA expansion enclosures to attain petabyte-scale storage capacity.

Powered by the ZFS-based QuTS hero, the TS-h2490FU focuses on data integrity with self-healing. Data reduction with inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction reduces the overall storage footprint – especially helpful for increasing SSD storage efficiency when highly-repetitive data or massive small files are generated. Additional SSD-optimizing features include Write Coalescing, TRIM, and Pool Over-provisioning to assist in attaining high performance and lifespan from SSD investment. QuTS hero supports near-unlimited snapshots and versioning for enhanced data protection. The inclusive App Center also provides various install-on-demand apps to further expand the TS-h2490FU’s application potential, such as hosting VMs and containers, simplifying local/remote/cloud backups, setting up a cloud storage gateway to deploy hybrid cloud applications, and more.
