New Technology For Enterprise

Only Keep In Mind• Complement Deficiency Of QTS:

– Concentrate On What Enterprise Needs– Over 256TB Storage Pool– Much Faster Snap Shot and Pool Building– High Availability For Nearly Zero Downtime– Enhanced Offload On Both VMware and Microsoft– Disaster Recovery For Ongoing Service

Same User Interface For Shortest Learning Curve

Seeing Is Believing

Question 1: Why QES• Many of QNAP customers....

– Choose Rack-mount models for All-SSD– Major Application: VM Server, VDI– Tier 2 Storage: Highly Budget-Limited– QTS isn’t native enterprise OS for rack-

mount & datacenter Environment– Customers ask for Higher Performance

with much more Advanced Features

Question 2: Why FreeBSD• FreeBSD Is Nothing But The Best

Choice– Clarity, Performance, Reliability, Security– A complete operating system, not kernel

only with different distributions– Excellent with its network, virtual memory,

and SCSI subsystem– Leader in terms of backward compatibility

Question 3: Why ZFS• ZFS is real enterprise-class file system

– Protection against silent data corruption– Efficient data compression– Copy On Write (CoW) clones– Continuous integrity checking– Automatic repair– RAID-Z, native NFSv4 ACLs

Question 4: Differ From Nexenta• Nexenta is the center of attention in

the world of Server SAN, but some inconvenient truths emerged....– Because of Solaris, Nexenta “enjoys” the

worst hardware compatibility– Nobody could guarantee real performance– For Server SAN, software only isn’t enough

currently

Powerful, But still Easy to Use

Inherited from well-reputed QTS, the intuitive, multi-window and multi-tasking GUI make current QTS users incredibly easy to get started and then master enterprise-class storage systems along with the shortest learning curve.

Why ES1640dc can beat competitors• QES optimizes the ZFS data path• QES uses NVRAM instead of SSD as write cache• QES uses fast PCI-E NTB to mirror the write cache• QES fully unleash read performance by the 4x SSD global read cache• QES uses more powerful CPU and larger memory• QES performs better in compression mode because of its CPU power

and less IO transaction• NETAPP performs well in random write without compression. It is

because it directly writes to SSD in flash pool (hybrid pool) in its random write mode. However, it degrades to hard drive performance after running out SSD space.

67CONFIDENTIAL

Conclusion• ES1640dc uses very powerful hardware

design.• ES1640dc provides all enterprise software

features. User can use them without extra fee.

• ES1640dc outperforms the competitors’ storage systems.
