QuTS hero operating system, optimized for enterprises
QuTS hero NAS – the preferred choice for highly reliable ZFS storage solutions

The ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system not only prioritizes data integrity and security but also offers advantages in optimizing SSD applications that other file systems cannot match. QuTS hero NAS provides a variety of storage solutions that fully utilize the benefits of ZFS, including a rich selection of HDD+SSD hybrid storage models, assisting enterprises in seamlessly integrating them into their IT infrastructure.

Why QuTS hero NAS?

QuTS hero NAS boasts a comprehensive product line, meeting storage requirements from small to large enterprises.

  • High Performance

    Multicore processors provide efficient computing power for handling heavy data workloads in enterprises. Various models also come with dedicated SSD slots, a key factor in boosting performance.

  • High Reliability

    Data integrity is of utmost importance. The ZFS file system prioritizes data security and system stability above all else.

  • High return on investment

    Powerful real-time data reduction technology maximizes storage space efficiency. Multiple SSD optimization techniques enhance SSD durability, providing a cost-effective storage solution.

3 types of QuTS hero NAS

  • All-flash NAS

    Break through performance bottlenecks and achieve low latency. Combines powerful ZFS data deduplication capabilities with QNAP's SSD optimization technologies to enhance SSD performance and extend its lifespan.

  • Hybrid storage with HDDs and SSDs

    A hybrid storage architecture optimized specifically for ZFS applications, allowing you to add SSDs to increase cache capacity without sacrificing storage space in HDD bays.

  • High-capacity HDD storage

    ZFS offers a highly reliable storage solution that can seamlessly integrate JBODs for expanding capacity up to petabyte-scale storage, meeting the demands of explosive data growth and management, while ensuring the proper protection of critical business data.

The more RAM, the higher ZFS performance

Memory plays a vital role in ZFS performance - especially in high-speed data transfer, data deduplication, ARC, and caching. It is recommended that you install as much memory as possible to attain the highest benefits of ZFS performance and optimized business workloads.
