Today's small and medium businesses need to wring every dollar of productivity out of their IT spends and that extends to storage. QNAP's Turbo NAS' have evolved into being far more than just networked storage, file/printer sharing, and backup solutions. Today they can host virtual machines without the expense of VMware, host websites, and a bevy of other business critical applications. Extend the capabilities of a QNAP NAS further with a wide range of free Apps available from 3rd party developers, right from the dashboard of the embedded QTS management interface. QNAP's brand new Qsirch search feature makes it fast and easy to find documents, videos, photos, music, and more on the NAS through natural-search terms similar to how one would use a search engine.

The TS-563 is available in 2 base configurations: The TS-563-2G with 2GB of DDR3L RAM pre-installed. The TS-563-8G has 8GB of DDR3L RAM but otherwise is the same. Both units are upgradable to 16GB RAM maximum. SSD-caching is supported for maximum multi-tasking for demanding SMB/workgroup environments. Both models have built-in Gigabit LAN ports and an expansion slot to allow up to two 10GbE ports to be added (or 2 additional Gigabit ports. 5 USB 3.0 ports and 2 eSATA ports are standard equipment. 

Both new models feature the QTS 4.1 embedded NAS management software, RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, JBOD support, a full range of virtualized network connectivity options, Windows AD support, and much, much more.
