QNAP offers a complete array of expansion cards for you to take advantage of the TS-1232XU's PCIe expandability, including QM2 expansion cards and single/dual port NICs.Build an affordable Fibre Channel SAN environmentCommon Fibre Channel SAN (Storage Area Networks) devices are often expensive. Now you have more budge-friendly options to easily add your NAS to a SAN environment. Once a Marvell®, ATTO® or QNAP Fibre Channel card has been installed in the TS-1232XU, you can set a Fibre Channel Target using the iSCSI & Fibre Channel app, and leverage the many benefits from QNAP NAS including snapshot protection, Qtier™ tiering storage, SSD cache acceleration and more. In addition, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an additional layer of security for your data.Snapshots and Hybrid Backup Sync secure your dataA well-rounded disaster recovery plan requires multiple layers of protection and backups to deliver peace of mind. The TS-1232XU supports snapshots to manually/automatically record the content of files and changes to them at the block level, allowing them to be quickly reverted in the event of corruption or accidental deletion. For added data security, the Hybrid Backup Sync app can help back up, restore and sync files to/from local external devices, remote NAS and public cloud services.Cross-platform file sharing and Qsync facilitate convenient file exchangeThe TS-1232XU supports SMB/CIFS, NFS, and AFP protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, Linux/UNIX networks. Data can be centrally stored on NAS and protected by rigid security measures provided by the TS-1232XU. The Windows AD and LDAP services enable system administrators to configure user permissions by using an existing Windows AD server, LDAP server or built-in LDAP service. To sync data across devices, including mobiles, simply install Qsync Central on NAS and Qsync clients on other devices to enjoy a fast, private, secure, and real-time file sync service with the TS-1232XU.Windows and Mac backups help keep data security in the workplaceThe TS-1232XU can handle file backup tasks from Windows® PC and Mac. By using QNAP's NetBak Replicator backup utility, with a few simple clicks, you're all set. For macOS users, Time Machine can be set up to save to the TS-1232XU. Combined with snapshots and Hybrid Backup Sync, the TS-1232XU provides the solid foundations of a disaster recovery plan.QTS & App Center open endless possibilitiesQTS, the QNAP NAS operating system, provides numerous functionality additions and improvements, such as the revamped Qtier, RAID 50/60 support, Qboost, OCR Converter, and much more. More apps are available from the QTS App Center, such as Domotz, QVPN Service, and more. You can easily take advantage of apps from QNAP and trusted third parties to expand NAS functionality and possibilities.Secure your premises with integrated surveillance solutionsThe TS-1232XU provides an intelligent surveillance management system for real-time monitoring, video & audio recording, and playback to safeguard your work environment. You can even use USB webcams as affordable IP cameras with the free QUSBCam2 app. The TS-1232XU also supports QVR Pro, the next-generation QNAP NVR system, that allows you to arrange a dedicated, independent storage space for surveillance data on the NAS and leverage the advantages of scalability and storage manageability from QTS.Protect your NAS content with encryption and more security featuresThe AL-324 PoC of the TS-1232XU supports hardware-accelerated AES-256 encryption of volumes, shared folders and LUNs to provide data confidentiality without sacrificing performance. Other security features include IP address filtering, virus and malware scan, and much more. You can also set access permissions to ensure only authorized users or apps can access specified folders. The QVPN Service, available from the App Center, can be utilized to deploy VPN connections to secure communications between your devices and NAS.Virtual JBOD and expansion units help share and expand storage spaceThe TS-1232XU supports connecting a UX-800U-RP (8-bay) or UX-1200U-RP (12-bay) expansion enclosure to scale up the total storage space. The unused storage space on the TS-1232XU can also be used to expand the capacity of other QNAP NAS by using QNAP's Virtual JBOD (VJBOD).
