QNAP TS-473A NAS Tower Ryzen Embedded V1500B 8GB DDR4 0TB QNAP Turbo System Black

Equipped with an AMD Ryzen™ V1000 series V1500B quad-core processor delivering great system performance with up to quad-core / 8 threads and Turbo Core up to 2.2 GHz. The TS-473A features two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and two PCIe Gen 3 slots, allowing you to flexibly deploy 5GbE/10GbE networks. Two M.2 NVMe SSD slots for Qtier technology and SSD caching enable continuous storage optimization. The TS-473A supports QTS and QuTS hero, allowing users to flexibly switch operating systems according to their needs.

Powerful AMD Ryzen™ Processor
The TS-473A is equipped with an AMD Ryzen™ V1000 series V1500 quad-core 2.2 GHz processor and features up to 64GB RAM (ECC memory supported*) and USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports for speeds up to 10 Gb/s. The TS-473A also provides a USB Type-C port to support additional devices for transferring large media files across devices, enabling a more efficient workflow.

Transform your network with an affordable 2.5GbE switch
Upgrading your network shouldn't break the bank, and 2.5GbE connectivity offers immediate, noticeable improvements over standard 1GbE. QNAP offers 2.5GbE switches that support Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T™ and allow the use of existing CAT5e cables to connect multiple computers and NAS. They help businesses implement fast, secure, and scalable network environments without breaking the bank.

Switch operating systems for optimal data integrity and reliability
The TS-473A also supports QuTS hero - QNAP's ZFS-based NAS operating system. QuTS hero provides end-to-end data integrity, data reduction (inline data deduplication, compression, and compaction), and more, utilizing additional system resources to ensure an optimal environment for protecting business data.

Achieve performance benefits with M.2 SSD caching
The TS-473A features 2 M.2 NVMe SSD slots, allowing you to utilize SSD caching or Qtier Auto-Tiering technology.

Improve random data access speed with an SSD cache
SSD caches accelerate IOPS performance and reduce latency for storage volumes. They are perfect for IOPS-intensive applications (including databases and virtualization) and can significantly improve overall workflows.

Maximize the value of SSDs with Qtier technology
Qtier™ technology enables the TS-473A to perform auto-tiering, which helps continuously optimize storage efficiency by automatically moving data between M.2 SSDs, 2.5-inch SSDs, and high-capacity HDDs based on data access frequency. Qtier™ 2.0 provides IO-awareness, which equips SSD-tiered storage with a cache-like reserved space for real-time burst I/Os, thus maximizing the benefits of SSDs.

Upgrade to 10GbE and ample capacity with PCIe expansion
The TS-473A features two PCIe Gen 3 x4 slots for various expansion cards to extend application potential.

Simple and secure file management
File Station enables direct management of files stored on the TS-473A and in the cloud. Users can easily upload files from their PC, drag/drop files between folders, rename/delete files, and configure file and folder permissions to prevent unauthorized access. Microsoft Office Online can also be used to directly view/edit Microsoft Office documents stored on the TS-473A. Confidential/sensitive data can be encrypted to provide additional security.

Install a graphics card for GPU-accelerated computing
Graphics cards are optimized for graphical computations and transformations, but they require significantly more power than other hardware. The TS-473A features PCIe slots to support low-profile graphics cards that do not require power cables, such as NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX1650 graphics cards, to boost the performance of applications like video editing, 4K UHD transcoding, image editing in QTS, and virtual machine performance via GPU passthrough.

Build a cost-effective Fibre Channel SAN environment
Common Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) devices are often costly. By installing a QNAP 16Gb Fibre Channel card (QXP-16G2FC 16Gb) in the TS-473A, you can set a Fibre Channel target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app. In addition, LUN masking and port binding features provide an additional layer of security for your data.

High-speed 2.5GbE VM backup solution
With Hyper Data Protector, the TS-473A becomes an agentless backup tool for unlimited VMware® vSphere and Microsoft® Hyper-V VM backups. Hyper Data Protector offers incremental backup, global deduplication, backup scheduling, and restore compression. 2.5GbE connectivity significantly shortens backup and restore times, providing a cost-effective solution for disaster recovery.
