QNAP indicates that it is specifically designed to house an all-SSD configuration to improve workflow collaboration between Thunderbolt 3-enabled Macs and Windows users.
Managed QTS 4.3, the TVS-882ST3 supports the Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet Converter, allowing for Thunderbolt-enabled devices to access 10GbE network resources over a Thunderbolt connection to the NAS. This converter gives users a data transfer method for non-Ethernet devices that is both versatile and cost-effective. QNAP says that it will also provide seamless collaboration between the SMB-enabled Final Cut Pro X 10.3 and Windows PC to enable cross-platform file sharing. The TVS-882ST3 also acts as a secure file center with a deep set of privilege controls for cross-platform file sharing, backup, restoration, and synchronization.
Additional usability features include:
- QvPC Technology turns the QNAP NAS into PC by connecting a keyboard, mouse and HDMI display
- Linux Station allows the direct usage of Ubuntu desktop;
- Virtualization Station can host multiple Windows, Linux, UNIX, and Android-based virtual machines on the NAS
- Container Station empowers near-limitless LXC and Docker-containerized apps and IoT development
- Qfiling and Qsirch optimize data storage operations by providing automatic file organization and rapid file searching
The TVS-882ST3 can be expanded as needed via a maximum of six Thunderbolt 2 expansion enclosures (8-bay TX-800P or 5-bay TX-500P) or two USB 3.0 expansion enclosures (8-bay UX-800P or 5-bay UX-500P). In addition, storage capacity can be increased by using VJBOD that leverages the unused storage capacity of other QNAP NAS.
