File Station centralizes files stored on your TS-1253DU-RP and in the cloud. You can easily upload files from your computer, drag and drop files between folders, rename files, delete files, and configure file and folder permissions to prevent unauthorized access. With Microsoft Office Online you can directly open and modify Microsoft Office documents stored on the TS-1253DU-RP without having to download them to your local device. When sharing sensitive/confidential files on the TS-1253DU-RP, use File Station to encrypt files into .qenc files, set a password, and use QENC Decrypter to decrypt the file.
The TS-1253DU-RP supports common file sharing protocols (including SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS) for Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX® devices. Coupled with Qsync (a utility that transforms a QNAP NAS into a secure, high-capacity data center for file synchronization) any file uploaded to the TS-1253DU-RP becomes available for all linked devices, such as computers, laptops, and mobile devices. Hybrid Backup Sync helps you easily backup or synchronize data on the TS-1253DU-RP to another QNAP NAS, remote server, or cloud storage for disaster recovery. Additionally, QuDedup technology greatly improves the efficiency and storage utilization of multi-version backup by deduplicating the backup data. You can install the QuDedup Extract Tool on your computer and restore deduplicated files to their normal status.
Snapshots fully record the NAS system state and metadata and can be used to quickly restore files to previously-recorded states if they are accidentally deleted/modified or if the system is compromised by ransomware. QNAP snapshots are block-based and only record modified data. Not only does this save storage space, but also reduces the time required to back up and restore data.
Notification Center consolidates all QTS system events and alerts, providing you with a single-app solution for notifications. Security Counselor evaluates and recommends settings to improve NAS security.
Notification Center is a single-app solution for QTS system events and alerts. You don't need to configure settings in different apps, helping you streamline management processes and save time.
Security Counselor checks for weaknesses and offers recommendations to secure your NAS. Anti-virus and anti-malware solutions are also included to ensure complete protection.

HybridMount File-based Cloud GatewayFlexibly expand your storage capacity by connecting to cloud storage. You can leverage QTS apps to manage and edit cloud-based files or monitor multimedia files. HybridMount is ideal for file server online collaboration and file-level data analysis. |
VJBOD Cloud Block-based Cloud GatewayMount object cloud storage as a block-based volume or LUN on a NAS. Block-based data transmission uploads random data and large files to the cloud in blocks, and only block-based volume or LUN changes (such as addition, modification, or deletion) will be transmitted. This is ideal for enterprise-level applications with large file transfer requirements (such as databases, VM volumes, and videos). |
QVR Pro allows you to establish dedicated, independent storage space for surveillance data on a TS-1253DU-RP and leverage the advantages of scalability and storage manageability of QTS. With QVR Pro, camera management, storage space allocation, camera live view and playback is greatly simplified, and the QVR Pro Client mobile app allows for universal monitoring of surveillance feeds.

Configured system orders start here!
The selected drives are batch controlled and tested using our HDD and SSD servers. Passed drives are then installed in the NAS with Volume and RAID set. Our pre-burn testing prepares the NAS with an initial system and drive testing cycle to ensure that the integrity of the entire system is tested and passed with no issues at all.
Our stress testing (burn-test) cycle commences for a minimum of 24 hours and extends to 48 hours if requested or required. This is undertaken in order to ensure stability when used in a normal environment. These tests can include extremes of workload (constant I/O's), CPU and memory use, thermal load (heat), clock speed, or voltages, bus and connectivity components, with the primary stress testing software aiming to test stability by trying to force a system to fail. Our tests put a greater emphasis on robustness, availability and error handling heavy loads.
Once the tests are complete we QA and pack the system back into it's retail box. Then it's double boxed to protect the unit during shipping. You receive your QNAP NAS Ready To Plug 'N' Store. It doesn't get any easier. Buy your NAS from the QNAP EXPERTS at QNAP DIRECT.
