Extreme all-flash performance
To get the utmost performance from the TS-h3088XU-RP, we recommend:
The front 24 SSDs should be configured as data pool #2 in RAID 6 or RAID 60 (yields the best performance). The rear 6 SSDs should be configured as pool #1 in RAID 6 (as system and app pool/small data storage).

Dual 25GbE connectivity optimizes data transfer and VMware virtualization with iSER
The TS-h3088XU-RP provides four 2.5GbE RJ45 ports (supports 2.5/1GbE) and has a built-in dual-port 25GbE SFP28 SmartNIC (supports 25/10/1GbE) with the Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx SmartNIC controller that supports iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) to increase performance of data transfer between NAS and ESXi server and offload CPU workloads. With Port Trunking and Auto-Negotiation, the TS-h3088XU-RP empowers your organization with the bandwidth and reliability to allow thousands of endpoint users to smoothly access data stored on the NAS and also satisfy the most demanding applications, including data centers, virtualization, massive file transfer, high-speed backup/restoration, and multimedia transmission. The TS-h3088XU-RP is also ideally matched with QNAP’s managed and unmanaged 2.5GbE/10GbE switches to form high-speed, secure and scalable network environments without going over budget.

Abundant I/O capability with PCIe expansion
The TS-h3088XU-RP features three PCIe Gen 3 slots that enable using numerous expansion cards for expanding application potential. (One slot comes pre-installed with a dual-port 25GbE network card.)

Direct 4K HDMI output for multimedia and virtual machine content
The TS-h3088XU-RP features Intel UHD Graphics P630 that supports hardware decoding and real-time transcoding. The HDMI output supports up to 4K (4096 x 2160p) @30Hz, providing great benefits for applications like video production/editing or industrial design that demands high resolution and color realism as well as intensive media storage, transfer and display. By connecting the TS-h3088XU-RP to an HDMI display, you can directly watch multimedia content saved on the NAS, virtual machine OS desktop from Virtualization Station, or Ubuntu Linux Station desktop for system maintenance.

Exceptional hardware to boost all-flash performance
The TS-h3088XU-RP features high-level hardware with an expandable architecture to provide businesses with high performance and low latency access.

ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system enhances NAS performance and data integrity
QuTS hero combines the app-based QTS with the 128-bit ZFS file system to provide flexible storage management, comprehensive data protection, and optimized performance to tackle the complexity and performance demands of modern IT. From storage management, virtualization, to collaborative media workflows, QuTS hero streamlines your business-critical tasks.

Inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction improve SSD endurance
QuTS hero supports advanced block-based data reduction technologies (including inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction) to reduce file sizes, conserve storage capacity, and optimize performance. For example, if 20 virtual machines on a NAS are replicated using the same template, then storage space requirements for all 20 virtual machines can be reduced by up to 95%. Whether acting as primary or backup storage, the TS-h3088XU-RP optimizes storage utilization to provide a reliable storage cornerstone in the Big Data era. All-flash solutions thus achieve higher cost efficiency while improving both random write performance and SSD lifespan.

Real-time SnapSync ensures minimal RPO with real-time disaster recovery
Real-time SnapSync ensures that both the primary and secondary NAS maintain identical data. When data is written to the source, it is immediately written to the destination. If the primary NAS goes offline, IT staff can simply adjust the privilege settings of the secondary NAS to ensure continuous operations. SnapSync provides the strongest support for nonstop business operations and helps users to reduce the risk of data loss.

All-in-one virtual machine and container hosting solution
You can count on Virtualization Station and Container Station for comprehensive virtualization support. Coupled with the Network & Virtual Switch app that boosts interoperability between virtual machines, containers, QNAP NAS, and other physical devices on the network, you can flexibly allocate physical and virtual network resources to simplify network deployment.

License-free VMware and Hyper-V backup appliance
With Hyper Data Protector, the TS-h3088XU-RP becomes an agentless backup tool for unlimited VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V VM backup. Hyper Data Protector features incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling and recovery compression. Hyper Data Protector also simultaneously backs up multiple VMs, providing you with a cost-effective and reliable disaster recovery plan, ensuring 24/7 operation of your services.

Move business data to the cloud and enjoy low latency access to cloud-based data
The TS-h3088XU-RP perfectly integrates NAS with mainstream cloud services. By deploying cloud storage gateways and enabling local caching, organizations can seamlessly use the cloud for storage, backup, and data recovery with low-latency access. This greatly helps in realizing cost-effective, flexible, and secure hybrid cloud applications.

Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environment
Common Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing QNAP dual-port 16Gb/32Gb Fibre Channel expansion cards in the TS-h3088XU-RP, you have more budget-friendly options to add a NAS to a SAN environment. You can set a Fibre Channel Target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app. Moreover, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an additional layer of data security.
