ES2486dc

Powerful and cost-efficient Intel® Xeon® D based Enterprise ZFS NAS, optimized for inline deduplication and all-flash applications

The ES2486dc Enterprise ZFS NAS is QNAP's first high-availability NAS with all-flash arrays and dual active controllers. Powered by an Intel® Xeon® D-2142IT 8 cores/16 threads processor, the ES2486dc supports up to 24 x 2.5-inch SAS 12Gbps SSDs and provides excellent I/O throughputs. Random write performance for all-flash arrays is further driven by the flash-optimized QES 2.1.1 operating system that comes pre-installed on the ES2486dc. The QES uses ZFS to support logical volume management; block-based inline data deduplication and inline compression reduce I/O and SSD storage consumption, which significantly extends SSD lifespan with higher price-performance ratio for all-flash storage arrays. Coupled with near-limitless snapshots and SnapSync for data protection, the QES-based ES2486dc fulfills demanding business applications, such as mission-critical file servers, virtualization servers, VDI, medium-sized data center, video streaming, surveillance storage, and efficient file backup and recovery.

Dual active-active controllers

• Intel® Xeon® D dual active-active controllers provide superb uptime and redundancy to ensure high availability (HA).

Reliable & High-performance

• Battery-protected DRAM write to cache data protection and flash read acceleration provides industry-leading random access performance.

Flexible PCIe expansion

• PCIe expandability allows for 10GbE/25GbE adapters to increase application performance.

10GbE connectivity

• Four 10GbE SFP+ ports accelerate large file sharing and intensive data transfer from virtualization or datacenter.

Data protection & recovery

• Near-limitless snapshots and SnapSync for snapshot remote backup assist businesses to resume essential services in the shortest time.

Virtualization applications

• Supports VMware® vSphere® 6.5, Windows Server® 2019 and Citrix® XenServer® 7.0 for storage virtualization. Compatible with OpenStack® cloud environments.

Active-Active high availability with optimal storage efficiency

In Active-Active storage system architecture, both controllers can provide a comprehensive range of services, which is different from the Active-Standby architecture of single-controller systems. An advantage of Active-Active architecture is the lack of idle computing resources. To leverage the strengths of the ES2486dc Active-Active controller architecture, QNAP recommends creating multiple storage pools and distributing ownership between both controllers to enable simultaneous output from both controllers for improved load balancing.

Active-Standby single-controller system

With two HA systems you are paying twice the price, and the HA system can cause load imbalances because workloads are only processed on the active system. Moreover, a power outage can cause data loss, while network disconnections will invalidate the HA architecture.

The QDA-SA3 adapter is designed for QNAP's dual-controller all-flash array Enterprise ZFS NAS (ES2486dc) and allows the usage of a SATA 6Gbps drive in a 2.5-inch SAS 12Gbps/6Gbps drive bay - providing the ability to expand storage capacity with cost-effective SATA drives.

Supports 2.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD.
Up to 6Gb/s file transfer speeds.
The installed SATA drive can share SAS dual-port advantages for higher reliability.

SAS dual-port advantage for fault tolerance

SAS features dual porting for redundancy, eliminating single points of failure and allowing for higher reliability and performance. By installing a SATA drive with the QDA-SA3 into a dual-controller all-flash Enterprise ZFS NAS, the SATA drive can share these SAS dual-port advantages to ensure a high-availability, fault tolerant enterprise storage environment.

Designed for all-flash Enterprise ZFS NAS

The QDA-SA3 can be easily installed in the 2.5-inch disk tray of an all-flash array Enterprise ZFS NAS (ES2486dc disk tray model: TRAY-25-NK-BLK04).
