Satisfying enterprise demand for uninterrupted operation and high data availability
The ES1640dc v2 Enterprise ZFS NAS with the advanced QES (QNAP Enterprise System) operating system is a complete enterprise mission-critical and virtualization storage solution. With full virtualization support and a familiar user interface, it provides total functionality with an easy learning curve for fast deployment of key services. The ES1640dc v2 provides the best choice for budget-conscious
small and medium businesses as well as large IT departments needing to host mission-critical applications. Even enterprise users with
limited experience of dual-controller storage can easily unleash the full potential fo the ES1640dc v2l to satisfy their current and future
demands.
In the face of constant data growth and the demand for universal access to services, the window for backup is becoming increasing
shorter and difficult to achieve. The ES1640dc v2 adopts the service-uninterrupted dual active active HA controller architecture to provide virtually non-stop storage services. The dual active active service architecture can fully unleash its full-speed performance. Compared to previous high-end storage devices that only provided limited and storage-consuming snapshots, the ES1640dc v2 provides
lossless storage performance, virtually unlimited high-performance snapshots, giving it non-stop service features that do not impact
running services. Common snapshot technologies do not take into consideration the services executing in the memory space of the
operating system, leading to inconsistent application data. The Snapshot Agent technology of the ES1640dc v2 still provides snapshots
of current and uninterrupted services when users are accessing services. The Snapshot Agent is installed on the operating system end
of services and when a snapshot is about to be committed, the Snapshot Agent informs the system to process snapshot preparations.
Therefore it can provide continuous, uninterrupted services with application-consistent snapshots.
When the ES1640dc v2 is running remote replication, only modified data is transferred. The ES1640dc v2 can also apply data deduplication and compression technologies to optimize storage utilization. The ES1640dc v2 can provide remote backup SnapSync for snapshots at the shortest interval of every five minutes, fully supports VMware vCenter Site Recovery (SRM) technology, provides Storage
Replication Adapter (SRA) for SRM, and provides enterprise-class remote backup solutions. There is no compromise in enterprise data
integrity. In order to provide full data protection, the ES1640dc v2 uses ECC memory to ensure data integrity. When data is written into
NVRAM, there are dedicated backup battery units (BBUs) to protect writing to the cache, and at the same time the data is replicated to
a backup controller to achieve 100% data integrity. QES can be combined with QTS to provide the best storage solution. QES provides
high-performance and high-stability mission-critical access services, while QTS serves as the back-end data backup and application
platform. Businesses with limited budgets can choose the TES-1885U or TES-3085U as backup for their ES1640dc v2 that perfectly complement each other.
QES is tailored for enterprise applications and is based on ZFS for proven data protection on high-end enterprise applications. QES has
high availability, the best capacity performance, petabyte-class storage expansion, and complete data protection mechanisms, making it capable of serving as a storage platform for server virtualization, mid-range databases, Exchange server, desktop virtualization,
high-availability file server, high-availability video streaming and video editing, and digital surveillance.

ZFS file storage system can be so easy
The ES1640dc v2 features ZFS, a combined file system and logical volume manager, to support various advanced functions
for high-end enterprise storage, including powerful storage expansion, flexible storage pools, RAID-Z for data protection,
simplified management, high-performance SSD caching, near-limitless snapshots and cloning, data deduplication, in-line
compression, self-healing, and thin provisioning with reclaim for optimized utilization of virtual machine storage.Combining
ZFS and QES makes it incredible easy to manage the complex features of ZFS.
Storage Manager neatly presents tools and options for managing system storage with an intuitive graphical interface. From
reviewing system storage allocation in the Dashboard, to managing volumes, storage pools, disks, iSCSI storage, and Snapshots, Storage Manager provides a centralized place for simplified storage management and usage.
1 Dashboard
The Storage Manager dashboard provides an intuitive and
proven interface for IT administrators to engage with and
manage storage allocation. QES provides secure and flexible means of storing and managing data. This next-generation, enterprise-class volume management tool suite
offers powerful features such as storage pooling over
multiple RAID groups, advanced settings and space reclamation, as well as online capacity expansion.
2 Storage Management
In addition to data on individual hard drives, IT administrators can also monitor hard drives allocation status
for RAID groups. This ensures that there are no idle hard
drives and maximizes storage utilization. They can also
aggregate multiple RAID groups into a single storage
pool for flexible utilization of storage capacity. This provides additional redundancy, allowing for better protection against multiple disk failures in large-capacity environments.
3 Space allocation
QES supports the creation of multiple LUNs/share folders within storage pool.s View all available storage pools, related RAID
groups, shared folders, and iSCSI LUNs on the NAS on a single interface. Users can easily create, remove and expand storage pools, set thresholds, manage RAID groups and create storage spaces. Enterprises can create different storage applications for different work groups and each disk volume and LUN disk space can be instantly expanded online.

such that they cannot be used by other volumes of

iSCSI LUN
QES supports block-level iSCSI LUN. It supports different types of configuration for server connections: 1) Single or multiple
LUNs per iSCSI target and 2) Multiple iSCSI targets for a single LUN. The storage space created by the ISCSI LUN on the storage pool can be used for data storage. Deploy block-level iSCSI LUN in a storage pool to reduce overhead and improve overall read/write performance.
Data self-healing
Robust data integrity is one of the major characteristics that distinguishes ZFS from other file systems. ZFS is designed to
protect user data against silent data corruption caused by incidents such as metadata errors and bugs in disk firmware.
Data integrity is ensured using a checksum. When a block is accessed, its checksum is calculated and compared with the
stored checksum value. If the checksums do not match, then ZFS can heal the data using the data storage's redundancy features.

Ready-to-use RAID arrays
ZFS is not only a file system, it is also equipped with Logic Disk Management capability, and provides RAID 0, RAID 1, RAIDZ
(RAID 5), RAID Z2 (RAID 6) and RAID Z3. Among these, RAID Z3 is a triple-parity RAIDZ, which means the system is able to
tolerate up to three hard disk failures while ensuring the integrity and availability of data. Building a conventional RAID requires the synchronization of all data. The total time required to create a RAID array and complete the required synchronization is dependent on the number of hard disks involved. With the capacity of single hard disks now up to and exceeding
8TB, this process could take several hours or days. ZFS has outstanding RAID-Z characteristics that allow administrators to
create a ready-to-use high-capacity RAID in a matter of seconds. Create and use without waiting for the long time spent in
synchronization.
Rapid data reconstruction
If a hard disk in the RAID fails or is replaced, the entire RAID system will make use of the remaining intact hard disks to "reconstruct＂ the data in the corrupted hard disk. Conventional RAID systems construct every block in the hard disk according
to the “hard disk size＂. However, ZFS RAID-Z reconstructs every “data-containing＂ block according to “data size＂. This
substantially reduces the time required for data reconstruction, and minimizes the risk of further disk errors during reconstruction.

Real-time deduplication
As we move further into the Information Age, businesses and organizations seek to retain as much data as possible - and
may be forced by law to permanently store certain data. Although this data may be seldom used, it continues to grow and
depletes available storage space. Storing and transferring this growing data on a limited budget is a challenge, and it is not
practical to continually purchase additional storage units. Furthermore, although the rising popularity of virtualization applications is driving the demand for solid-state storage environments, the cost-per-unit capacity is substantially higher than
conventional hard drives. As more businesses face these problems, QNAP provides its solution - QES data deduplication
technology.
Both file compression and Single Instance Storage are space-reducing technologies that can decrease data volume and enhance storage space usage. However, compression technology does not allow cross-file block analysis. So even if the files
are 90% identical in content, each file will need to occupy an independent storage space. So after compression, each file will
become a separate compressed file. Compression is also ineffective for encoded data such as images, and audio/video files.
Single instance storage technology allows cross-file comparisons, but its precision is limited to file-level. And if two files differ only by a few blocks, or even one character, both files will take up separate storage spaces.

QES features real-time, block-level data deduplication
technology with cross-file analysis capabilities. Data structures in the entire volume are analyzed by blocks and only
one copy of each structure is retained, while the duplicated ones are removed. Through indexing, duplicate data
can be represented logically by single data, allowing physical storage space to be saved. This process is almost “instant＂ by virtue of using modern multi-core processors
with high-capacity memory. Data undergoes deduplication
calculations before being written to the disk, minimizing
the space required. Although the operating system and
applications still use the usual data access methods, when
duplicated data is accessed, real-time data deduplication

technology will make use of the previously created index
to provide the data in its original format.
Enabling data deduplication will increase the main memory consumed. For example, 16TB random data comprised of 64KB blocks will generate
a 14GB dedup table.

Deduplication and compression to maximize VDI storage performance
All-flash storage featuring high-performance random I/O is advantageous for databases, online transaction processing
(OLTP), and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) applications. Although all-flash storage costs more than normal hard drives,
its data deduplication and compression abilities allow you to save more data in the same amount of space. Based on an average deduplication ratio of 10:1, storage space can be increased by 90%, while storage cost is reduced by 50%.

Data deduplication and compression can greatly save money
Besides real-time data deduplication mechanisms, I/O-intensive applications with performance bottlenecks on storage devices and the bus, real time compression technology has also seen new types of applications in recent years.
Average file sizes are growing due to the rapidly-increasing demand for non-structured data storage in recent years, and
lower-capacity SSDs have been adopted to overcome performance bottlenecks. But enterprises cannot endlessly purchase
storage media and expand data centers, therefore reducing the space used by files and real-time compression has become
a key strategy.
As real-time compression is a resource-intensive task, it previously was mostly processed by a server which was usually fully
loaded or by an additionally deployed dedicated data compression application server. The former consumes the server's
performance and slows it down. The latter needs to be purchased separately, leading to increased costs. Using storage devices with performance good enough to support real-time compression can save hassle and implementation costs.
Data backup is a typical application of real-time compression. Real-time data deduplication can even be combined with data
compression. Data is compressed first before being deduplicated to further enhance the efficiency of capacity reduction in a
total SSD environment. This is straightforward and works immediately in tremendously reducing cost of ownership of enterprises purchasing SSDs and is the most practical way to save money.
For example, combining real-time data deduplication with real-time data compression can solidly reduce capacity by 50%.
Enterprises can then purchase SSDs half the capacity. Using the ES1640dc v2 for example, it reduces from 16 SAS disks with
a total capacity of 1920GB to 1000GB, which is an instant saving of USD 11,200.

Application environments for real-time deduplication
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and Virtual Servers
As Virtual Desktops and Virtual Servers operate hundreds of identical operating systems, block-level data deduplication and
compression are highly effective in conserving actual space requirements. In general, deduplication can save up to 95% of
the actual space requirements, significantly streamlining virtual desktop operating systems. This improves caching, reduces
disk access and improves actual performance. Coupled with an all-flash configuration, not only do you get ultimate performance, you also reduce your overhead significantly by eliminating the need for expensive storage units.

Email archiving and fixed-content storage
The amount of data is doubling each year. 50% of this new data is legally mandated for long-term storage, and this content
cannot be modified. Such data includes emails, invoices, and medical records. As data continues to grow and takes up more
storage space, deduplication technology becomes indispensable for businesses.
Nearline Storage
Through real-time deduplication, businesses can dramatically increase the storage capacities of backup disks. This means
that instead of replacing storage units once every couple of days or weeks, this operation can now be carried out every
month or even every six months. More data can be stored on hard disks, and the efficiency of restoring and retrieving data
is also improved.
Remote backup storage
SnapSync in QES also supports real-time data deduplication and compression. Before synchronization, the source NAS will
perform deduplication before compressing the metadata. The amount of synchronized data is significantly reduced and network bandwidth requirements are lowered.
13
No service disruption and remote snapshot synchronization
QNAP Snapshot technology uses copy-on-write to record a file's status. If there is a problem with a file, blocks containing the
old data can be recovered quickly, allowing a complete snapshot version of the file system to be restored. This greatly enhances a business's Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO).

File Level
Whole data backup (higher space
requirement and reduced efficiency).
Excluding system-managed partitions, the upper limit for usable snapshots is 65,531.
Local Snapshot provides continuous data protection
File-level data recovery
Traditional backup methods save data as a single file,
which needs a lot of storage space and makes it difficult
to locate files. QNAP Snapshot technology allows file-level
data recovery. This means you can choose to recover individual files or folders.
Friendly and intuitive interface
You can view the contents of a folder in a snapshot directly using the data viewer of the snapshot manager. The
timeline interface provides quick access to different versions of file snapshots, so you can recover a file with just
a few clicks. The friendly and intuitive approach greatly
reduces the operational threshold for data recovery.
14
Snapshot clones as writable snapshots
Clone a snapshot as a shared folder or LUN for quick file access. The files in a snapshot clone can be freely edited by users
Rsync/NAS-to-NAS integration
The Rsync (Real Time Sync) function in Backup Station automatically detects whether the system supports Snapshots. The
Rsync function takes snapshots of the volume before starting replication and then backs up snapshots to a remote server.
This ensures data integrity.
VMware/Microsoft VSS integration with QNAP Snapshot Agent
QNAP Snapshot also supports virtual machine snapshots on VMware® or deployment with Microsoft® Volume Shadow
Copy Service (VSS). Before taking snapshots, the Snapshot Agent notifies VMware® or Microsoft® VSS to stop accessing iSCSI LUNs. This ensures data integrity and reduces system overhead.
SnapSync for remote snapshot replication
Remote Snapshot Replica in the Backup Center enables replication of Volumes/LUNs between different remote servers using snapshot technology, reducing storage consumption and bandwidth.
Enterprise-class disaster recovery
QES SnapSync captures snapshots and backs up local shared folders and iSCSI LUN snapshots to a specified destination
over IP. The system will only perform a full backup during the first backup. Thereafter, SnapSync targets only changed blocks
by comparing the shared folder or ISCSI LUN in the source and target. This significantly reduces the time needed for capturing snapshots.
QNAP Site Recovery Agent plug-ins for VMware Site Recovery Manager fully supports remote array backup, providing a comprehensive, enterprise-grade remote backup solution. If users encounter local equipment failure or disruption in Internet
services, they can restart vital services within a short time from a remote location. The original configuration can be restored
after the local system is recovered.

Application-consistent Snapshots with QNAP Snapshot Agent
Snapshot Agent for iSCSI LUN enables connection of the QNAP QES with remote servers to ensure the consistency of snapshots. On these remote servers, the running applications (VMware virtual machines, Hyper-V virtual machines, SQL servers
and Windows file servers) will write/flush the data from the memory to the iSCSI LUN, prior to the snapshot being taken on
the ES1640dc v2. The application will then be consistent and will include all necessary data. No data will be missing when the
snapshot is restored. Snapshot Agent also includes VSS Hardware Provider for Windows, allowing Windows backup software
to actively send snapshot requests to QNAP NAS to reduce the burden on the server.

Six levels of data protection
Organizations may suffer significant financial losses if important data is leaked or lost due to hardware malfunction or attacks from the Internet. With increasing risks of data breaches and leaks, network storage security is gradually taking center
stage. Confidential business files are especially in need of security protection. QNAP helps you to minimize the risk of data
breaches with 6 protective mechanisms, allowing you to focus on data application, rather than data protection.

1 Network environment protection
Connection management (black/white list)
Allow or deny connection to the ES1640dc v2 from specific
IP addresses or subnets by creating whitelists and blacklists for filtering IP addresses. For example, IT administrators can block IP addresses from accessing the NAS for
one hour, one day (or permanently) if there are five failed
login attempts within a minute. Servers of the blocked IP
address will be unable to connect to the ES1640dc v2. IT
administrators can block a user who has stayed online for
too long or who have logged in from a suspicious IP for
enhanced system security.
Service Binding
The ES1640dc v2 server is equipped with multiple network ports, and generally permits data access through
every port. However, this could potentially compromise
the security of your data. Service binding allows users to
bind network interfaces with only specified services for
enhanced system security. For example, you can limit the
access to important business data to specific personnel
via specified protocols or from internal IP addresses. Not
only is security enhanced through allowing/denying access
to specific network services and network cards, service
binding with LAN ports also ensures that critical services
get dedicated bandwidth.

In addition to email and SMS, you can get messages sent
to mobile devices in the event of a system failure or other
warnings. This keeps you updated with the latest system
status so that you can take immediate action to rectify critical situations and reduce the risk of data loss.
3 Protection by transmission encryption
Network transmission encryption
Advanced AES encryption ensures the security of shared
folders. Without the key, no one can access the data in encrypted folders or files. Data transmitted over the Internet
can also be encrypted for security while using FTP or File
Station.
ES1640dc v2 provides support for SSL and SSH encryption
to secure data transmission and authentication. System
administrators can restrict access to HTTPS (SSL over
HTTP) encrypted connections. The SSH encrypted connection provides another layer of protection for data transmission over public networks.
4 Data encryption protection
Shared folder and LUN encryption
LUN
QES offers LUN/shared folder encryption to protect the
data stored on the ES1640dc v2. The system will ask for the
encryption key when the user starts the ES1640dc v2 and
attempts to mount the encrypted volume, and the data
will be inaccessible without the key. This function effectively protects data from being accessed if the entire device or
individual drives are stolen.
5 QNAP Snapshot
QNAP's whole volume/LUN snapshot employs Copy-on-Write technology to record file states. In event of a system failure,
you can immediately revert the system to a specific state earlier in time.
6 SnapSync
By using SnapSync in Backup Station, you can also back up snapshots to a remote site. With so many layers of protection,
you will never need to worry about data loss again.
For more information on Snapshot, refer to the chapter about Snapshot and SnapSync.

Enterprise case studies
Case 1: High-availability file server, high-performance remote replication with
no time to spare
A stable, non-stop and continuously serving high-availability file server seems to be simple. But it is an enterprise application
seen everywhere. In the manufacturing industry you can often see servers being used for a long time or those who build
their own services on their workstations. The architecture is not only complex, but is also hard to maintain. In addition to the
high availability brought by the dual-controller architecture in ES1640dc v2, the block-level SnapSync also provides remote
replication that is 9 times faster than the traditional file-level counterpart. The snapshot service provides near-limitless snapshots without impacting operational performance to ensure that enterprises can get the data they want anytime anywhere
as well as enjoying multiple levels of protection. The easy-to-use user interface of QES lets enterprises enjoy a minimal
learning curve and the fastest deployment speed.

Case 2: Deploy a VDI client to support over 500 remote virtual desktops on a
single machine
VDI administrators face critical challenges that must be addressed before desktops can be made ready for end users. One
such challenge is what is known as the VDI “Boot storm＂. A robust storage system with sufficient storage capacity and
which lowers Boot Storm incidences is pertinent. Through effective use of SSD read caching, as well as data deduplication
and compression, these problems are easily solved on QES. The ES1640dc v2´s ability to accommodate 500 virtual desktop
users has been certified by Login VSI. The white paper can be read on http://www.qnap.com
The I/O access of general desktop applications are write-heavy (80% write and 20% read), and it makes sense for the overall
framework to be optimized of write operations. However, when numerous users of a VDI all attempt to boot simultaneously
from a shared storage device, the I/O access characteristics is changed to 90% read and 10% write. Implementing a read
cache across an array of SSDs is the most common remedy to resolve the increased workload during workload ramp-up and
unexpected resource spikes. Not only does QNAP support IOPS with SSD read cache, it also improves remote virtual desktop
performance during boot storms; overall productivity is increased as a consequence increase in write performance.
Additionally, where VDI creates a great deal of data redundancy (hundreds of operating systems connected to a single
clone), QES supports block-level deduplication and compression to significantly reduce the file volume (in generally deduplication can conserve about 95% of the actual required capacity). This improves file access speed, reduces disk utilization, and
significantly improves performance.

Case 3: Build a corporate surveillance system with over 900TB storage
capacity
Robust IP camera surveillance systems have become increasingly popular across a wide range of businesses. To leave no
stone unturned, you´ll need ultra-large storage capacity that can be built in an instant, with automatic Silent Data Corruption healing for persistent high levels of availability. The robust, scalable, and easy-to-administer ZFS-based QES operating
system can instantly build over 900TB of storage capacity. Data integrity is further ensured with the built-in checksum mechanism, while the Copy-On-Write (CoW) mechanism facilitates enterprise-class backup and recovery. The QNAP Enterprise
ZFS NAS series (with high-availability, fault-tolerant, dual-active controllers) delivers uninterrupted services, providing the
ideal foundation for building a robust surveillance system.

Case 4: Build a high-performance and reliable audio-visual workstation
Most large audio visual studios and small to medium-sized TV stations require a high level of specialization in each step
of their workflows. Besides requiring efficient and reliable computing workstations at each step, what they need most is a
high-capacity storage and sharing device that can ensure uninterrupted services. The ES1640dc v2 can be expanded to support 40 GbE connectivity, and can be installed with up to 16 2.5＂SAS 12 Gb/s SSD. SSD maintains high IOPS and throughput
even when many people are accessing the system at the same time. It is especially useful as the first tier host for multi-person audio visual editing. In the news industry, every second counts. Hence, the ES1640dc v2 is the perfect companion for
workers in this industry, for whom uninterrupted work is paramount. Additionally, the ES1640dc v2 offers high expansion
flexibility, and can be paired with QNAP disk expansion unit EJ1600 v2 or EJ1600 to create a single storage pool with up to
500TB capacity. This is the best setup of archiving.
To enhance network transmission efficiency, the QNAP ES1640dc v2 is equipped with ODX (Offloaded Data Transfer) technology, which can be
paired with Windows workstations to reduce the use of network bandwidth. This way, the original network architecture will be able to accommodate high-performance models without causing a bottleneck.

Case 5: The most cost-effective enterprise cloud storage solution
The cloud is now a reality for most organizations. OpenStack® leads the way in open source cloud computing software
for private clouds, with Swift® and Ceph® serving as two popular distributed and cloud storage systems that provide object-based access to data. Most uses of the OpenStack® platform are at the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Internet Content Provider (ICP) levels. OpenStack® is popular at this level because of its native ability to (multipart) access large objects.
However, accessing and managing a single object remains an acute problem. Moreover, building a high-performance, easyto-maintain OpenStack environment is rather difficult. This makes traditional block storage remain an ideal solution.
Not only does QNAP QES support the Cinder Driver, it also provides high-performance block storage services in an OpenStack environment. It has the high-speed advantage accorded by various OpenStack management features, making it five to
ten times faster than open source dispersed storage. It can also be easily installed without special expertise, and is reasonably cheap to maintain. Both manpower and hardware requirements are therefore lowered. More importantly, QES works
well with the Platform9 system to provide fast deployment of the Helion® Openstack®, so that virtual machines services can
be rapidly deployed on QES. In addition, QES can be further paired with VDI products that support standard RDP. QES fully
supports using HPE Helion® OpenStack® to build an OpenVDI® on-demand agile cloud service.
