QNAP Flexible Volume

QNAP Flexible Volume provides a more secure and flexible way to store and manage the NAS data. This next generation volume offers powerful features such as storage pooling with multiple RAID, thinprovisioned volume with space reclamation, and online capacity expansion.

Secured Storage Pool for over 100-disk Deployment
To ensure the safety of valuable business data, QNAP Flexible Volume provides a secured way to deploy a large volume. The logical volume is allocated from a Storage Pool, which is composed of multiple RAID Groups to gain higher redundancy and reduce the risk of data crash from bad hard drives since the data is dispersed throughout multiple RAID arrays.

Block-based iSCSI LUN
In addition to storing data, the QNAP Flexible Volume can be utilized as an iSCSI LUN at the same time. The block-based iSCSI LUN provides less overhead which improves the over read/write performance. The blockbased iSCSI LUN takes advantages of Flexible Volume such as thinprovisioning LUN with space reclamation and online capacity expansion.

Online Capacity Expansion
Increase the capacity size of the LUNs, volumes, and storage pools on the fly. The Turbo NAS allows you to add more hard drives to increase the storage capacity of the storage pool on demand. The LUN and volumes can also be expanded online without interrupting the services.

Thin-provisioned Volume
Pre-allocate storage to give the appearance of having more capacity than actually available. This allows you to consume storage on demand as data is written to disk, instead of having capacity ahead of time.

Space Reclamation
Space reclamation complements thin provisioning so storage can be freed and used for other NAS applications. Normally when data is deleted in a Space, the storage capacity cannot be transferred back to the overall storage pool. But with space reclamation, space can be reclaimed and released back to the overall storage pool. This provides a much more efficient space usage.

Alert for Volume/LUN Threshold
An alert can be created once a LUN or volume reaches a particular threshold size with email and SMS notifications. This prevents the storage or volume from running out of space and the administrator can provision a new storage or expand an existing volume before a critical out of space.

Exceptional Perfomance

SSD Caching Acceleration
Accelerates the IOPS performance by 10 times and reduces I/O latency by 3 times for the storage volumes. This feature is perfect for IOPS demanding applications such as virtualization to significantly improve overall work flow.

10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Ready
The Turbo NAS has an optional 10 GbE network card which can be added to fulfill the most demanding applications requiring high bandwidth. 10 GbE has the highest data transfer rate; it is ten times faster than standard GbE.

SMB 2.0 Supported

This further prevents the hard drives from prematurely falling out of RAID arrays, forcing rebuilds, and RAID volume loss. The data will be retrieved more quickly when a hard drive takes too long to respond from bad blocks.

Bad Block Recovery
When read errors are detected in the hard drive blocks, they are automatically corrected with the healthy ones. The bad block recovery will run in background and ensure the data are well stored in the hard drives.

RAID Hot-spare and Global Hot-spare Drives
A hot spare drive can be configured so that if a hard drive in a specific RAID group fails, the hot spare drive will operate automatically. Moreover, the QNAP storage also supports global hot spare drives which allow the administrator to share the spare drives efficiently among multiple RAID Groups.
