Coupled with snapshots and other protective features of QNAP NAS, users can build a high-performance VM backup and recovery plan within a maintainable budget,” said Wayne Hsiao, Product Manager of QNAP.

With Hyper Data Protector users can choose to back up all the VMs on a Hypervisor or backup individual VMs. Hyper Data Protector features incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling and recovery compression to greatly optimize backup/recovery times and storage requirements. For businesses with significant virtualized infrastructure, QNAP’s high-speed 10GbE, 5GbE and 2.5GbE NAS provide the ideal environment for running Hyper Data Protector.

Hyper Data Protector supports multiple version retention for up to 1024 versions. If a VM on the production site goes down, users can quickly recover a point-of-time backed-up VM from the backup server to the production site (or to another operating host server) to minimize RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and service downtime. Additionally, Hyper Data Protector supports VMware® vMotion that features Live Migration to ensure VM backup tasks keep running.

Supported Source Platforms:

  • VMware vSphere: 6.0, 6.5, 6.7
  • Microsoft Hyper-V: Windows Server Hyper-V 2016, Windows Server Hyper-V 2019

Availability
Hyper Data Protector can be downloaded from the QTS App Center. For more information and to view the full QNAP NAS lineup, please visit www.qnap.com.

QNAP’s QuTScloud Cloud NAS Solution Now Available in AWS Marketplace

by Newsroom

Taipei, Taiwan, August 17, 2020 – QNAP Systems, Inc. (QNAP), a leading computing, networking, and storage solution innovator, today announced that the QuTScloud – a cloud Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution that enables deploying QTS (the QNAP NAS operating system) on cloud platforms – is available in AWS Marketplace.

Organizations that have stored most of their data on the cloud but lack a management system to capitalize on their digital assets can create a virtual QTS instance on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) for implementing QuTScloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This cloud-based NAS solution not only provides a great solution to optimize cloud-based data usage, but also allows users to benefit from the services and functions of a QNAP NAS.

“QuTScloud is a virtual appliance that leverages AWS infrastructure to empower users with the functionality of an on-premises QNAP NAS,” said Aseem Manmualiya, Product Manager of QNAP, adding “it provides an exceptional option for businesses and organizations who want to centrally manage multi-cloud data, along with the additional benefits of greater price-performance flexibility.”

QuTScloud can be easily setup and started in three simple steps:

  1. Launch QuTScloud as an Amazon EC2 instance from the AWS Marketplace. Watch tutorial
  2. Purchase a license from the QNAP Software Store. Watch tutorial
  3. Generate a QuTScloud license key using the QNAP License Manager and initialize QuTScloud. Watch tutorial

QNAP also offers an array of utilities to help users take full advantage of cloud storage services – including Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon S3 Glacier. QNAP Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS) facilitates easy backup and file sync to cloud storage, while HybridMount & VJBOD Cloud act as file-based and block-based cloud gateways to seamlessly bridge physical/cloud QNAP NAS and cloud storage for enhanced data value and increased management efficiency.
