- 1. Server Virtualization with QNAP® Turbo NAS and Microsoft® Hyper-V QNAP offers you superior performance and affordable network storage solutions Virtualization increases efficiency of IT management Microsoft Virtualization with Hyper-V and availability of IT applications and resources. QNAP Turbo NAS (Network Attached Storage) is the high VM VM VM VM VM VM VM performance and reliable storage designed to provide an affordable and easy-to-manage solution with iSCSI service for virtualized and clustered environment and Hyper-V Cluster reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). With QNAP Turbo NAS, you can: Microsoft virtualization. environment with flexibility. Network Shared Storage (QNAP Turbo NAS) Leverage the benefits from Deploy the virtualization Improve work continuity with Microsoft virtualization environment with flexibility high availability QNAP shared technology storage The Microsoft Hyper-V certified QNAP Turbo NAS can be utilized as iSCSI QNAP Turbo NAS protects all your products from QNAP enable fast storage in Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines with RAID 1/ 5/ 6 integration and deployments into environment. It allows file sharing across with hot spare and RAID recovery. The Microsoft clustered environment and Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX dual-Giga LAN design provides load are able to operate reliably with platforms at the same time. The iSCSI balancing and failover to sustain any advanced features such as live thin-provisioning offers great flexibility in single point of failure and keeping the migration, high availability, network the storage capacity planning and connection alive between the guest failover, and so on. The features help allocation when creating iSCSI LUNs from OSes running on the Hyper-V hosts the customers to create highly the beginning. With QNAP NAS, LUNs can and the QNAP NAS. scalable, manageable, and agile virtual be mapped to, unmapped from, and infrastructure. switched among different iSCSI targets. QNAP Systems, Inc.
- 2. Application Scenario Primary Storage for Microsoft Hyper-V QNAP Turbo NAS accelerates the VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM setup of your virtualization infrastructure.
