This hybrid SAN/NAS powerhouse is ideal for organizations that demand speed, scalability, and rock-solid reliability.

Whether you’re managing virtual machines, large-scale databases, or running mission-critical applications, the TDS-16489U R2 is designed to meet modern enterprise needs without compromise.

Powerful Hardware in the QNAP TDS-16489U R2 SAN And NAS Storage

At the core of the QNAP TDS-16489U R2 SAN And NAS Storage system are dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2620 v4 processors, providing a total of 16 processing cores. This makes it perfect for handling high-performance computing tasks and virtualization workloads.

Supporting up to 1TB DDR4 ECC RAM, this 3U rackmount server ensures enterprise-grade memory capacity that scales alongside your growing needs. ECC RAM (Error-Correcting Code) adds another layer of reliability by detecting and correcting memory errors on the fly, reducing system downtime.

Flexible and Scalable Storage Architecture

With 15 SAS/SATA drive bays, the QNAP TDS-16489U R2 supports flexible storage configurations, whether you’re focused on capacity, speed, or redundancy. The 12Gb/s SAS backplane architecture ensures high-speed data throughput, critical for applications such as virtualization, file servers, and high-transaction databases.

Whether used for file-level storage (NAS) or block-level storage (SAN), this hybrid setup enables organizations to consolidate multiple storage workloads into a single, centralized platform.

Advanced Networking and Redundancy

Equipped with four built-in 10GbE SFP+ ports, the TDS-16489U R2 ensures high-bandwidth connections across your network. This means faster backups, quicker file transfers, and smoother access to data-heavy applications.

To guarantee continuous uptime, the system includes redundant power supplies, minimizing the risk of downtime due to hardware failure. RAID support (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, and more) offers robust protection, allowing businesses to choose the right balance between performance and redundancy.

Virtualization and Container-Ready Platform

The QNAP TDS-16489U R2 SAN And NAS Storage is optimized for virtualization platforms including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer. It also supports containers via Docker® and LXC, enabling developers to quickly deploy lightweight applications in isolated environments.

Integrated virtualization station and container station features provide comprehensive management tools, allowing businesses to run virtual machines and containers directly on the NAS — reducing dependency on external servers.

Seamless Storage Expansion

The system supports multiple QNAP expansion enclosures, allowing businesses to scale storage capacity without interrupting operations. This future-proof approach means your investment in the QNAP ecosystem grows with your organization.

With online capacity expansion and QNAP’s Storage Manager, administrators can monitor, configure, and expand storage volumes with ease — no service interruption required.

Centralized Data Protection and Backup

QNAP’s comprehensive suite of data protection tools includes snapshot technology, real-time remote replication (RTRR), cloud backup integrations, and anti-ransomware solutions. This ensures your data remains safe and recoverable in the event of accidental deletion, system failure, or malicious attacks.

Integration with popular cloud services such as Amazon S3, Azure, and Google Cloud allows hybrid cloud backup strategies, further strengthening business continuity.
