QNAP TS-432PXU NAS Rack (1U) Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-324 2 GB DDR4 0 TB QNAP Turbo System Black

TS-432PXU
Quad-core 1.7GHz rackmount NAS with dual 10GbE SFP+ and dual 2.5GbE ports for SMB IT environments

With 10GbE SFP+ and 2.5GbE network ports, the TS-432PXU delivers high network bandwidth to streamline team collaboration and file access. A PCIe Gen 2 ×2 slot allows for installing a QNAP expansion card to add network connectivity, SSD caching capabilities, or wireless connectivity.

Higher performance x faster throughput
The TS-432PXU is powered by an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-324 ARM® Cortex®-A57 quad-core 1.7 GHz processor with 2GB DDR4 RAM (expandable to 16GB) and SATA 6Gb/s drives to deliver higher performance. With two 10GbE SFP+ and two 2.5GbE network ports, the TS-432PXU provides incredible bandwidth to fulfil high-speed file access, backup/restoration and media transfer, while also allowing the flexible allocation of network resources for individual applications and services.

Upgrade your network to increase team efficiency
QNAP provides various high-speed network solutions at attainable price points. The QSW network switches provide managed and unmanaged 10GbE and 2.5GbE options for building high-speed networks. QNAP also offers 10GbE / 5GbE / 2.5GbE network expansion cards and a USB to 5GbE adapter for Windows® / Linux® devices, allowing all of your workstations to take advantage of high-speed networks.

Boost NAS performance with SSDs
As SSDs become more affordable, using SSDs on NAS can improve performance without requiring a heavy investment. The TS-432PXU supports SSD cache technology, Qtier™ auto-tiering storage, and SSD over-provisioning, helping you to balance storage performance, storage allocation, and IT expenses.

Balance performance and capacity
Boost NAS performance by enabling SSD caching. Coupled with Qtier™ auto-tiering technology, you can find the perfect storage configuration between high-performance SSD and high-capacity HDD while balancing performance and cost.

Extend SSD lifespan
SSD Extra Over-provisioning allows for adding 1~60% reserved space to avoid performance degradation, helping to increase system stability and extend SSD lifespan.

Multi-point file backup, access and sync
HBS (Hybrid Backup Sync) consolidates data backup, recovery, and data synchronization. With high-speed 10GbE connectivity, you can easily back up or sync data to another QNAP NAS, remote server or cloud storage to build a reliable disaster recovery solution. Qsync turns the TS-432PXU into a secure, high-capacity data center for file synchronization. Any file uploaded to the TS-432PXU will be made available for all linked devices, such as computers, laptops, and mobile devices. You can also sync shared folders or create team folders to enhance team collaboration.

Easily find and automatically organize files and photos
The TS-432PXU provides greater convenience in file management. You can quickly find files using Qsirch, organize photos using QuMagie and auto-archive them with Qfiling.

File search
Qsirch quickly finds images, music, videos, documents, emails, and other files by using keywords, colors and different filters.

Photo management
QuMagie identifies people and objects in photos and supports automated photo categorization, allowing you to easily find similar photos.

Auto archiving
Qfiling automates file organization or recycling based on self-configured rules, greatly improving work efficiency.

Secure Google™ Workspace and Microsoft 365® backup
The convenience of Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions such as Google™ Workspace and Microsoft 365® has led to its adoption by many businesses and organizations. However, many users fail to protect this cloud data against data loss, data recovery limitations, and human error. The TS-432PXU includes QNAP Boxafe, allowing you to back up files, emails, calendars and contacts from Google™ Workspace and Microsoft 365® to provide an extra layer of data protection for business cloud data.

Low Latency Access to Cloud Data with Cloud Storage Gateways
By deploying cloud storage gateways and enabling local caching on the TS-432PXU, you can seamlessly use the cloud for storage, backup, and data recovery with low-latency access, providing an innovative hybrid cloud experience.

Flexibly expand storage capacity whenever needed
The storage capacity of the TS-432PXU can be easily expanded to meet growing data demands. Simply connect a QNAP TR RAID expansion enclosure or TL JBOD to expand storage space on demand. With QNAP's Virtual JBOD (VJBOD) technology, the unused space of the TS-432PXU can also be used to expand the storage space of other QNAP NAS.

How to use

Install SATA drives into available bays and power on the TS-432PXU. Configure network settings to use the 10GbE SFP+ or 2.5GbE ports according to your environment, or install a QNAP expansion card in the PCIe slot to add connectivity or SSD caching features. Use QTS to initialize storage pools and volumes, enable SSD cache and Qtier auto-tiering if desired, and set up user accounts and shared folders. Deploy HBS for backup and synchronization tasks, enable Qsync for file synchronization across devices, and configure Boxafe to back up Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 data.

Recommendations

The TS-432PXU is suitable for small and medium businesses seeking higher network throughput; pair it with QNAP 10GbE/2.5GbE switches or add expansion cards to ensure all workstations can utilize the faster network. Use SSD caching and Qtier to balance performance and capacity, and enable Boxafe to protect cloud-based Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 data.
