Chipmaker AMD recently announced that the AMD Embedded G-Series system-on-chip (SoC) will be powering the new TVS-863+ and the TVS-x63 platform from QNAP, a provider of network attached storage (NAS) systems.
The platform, designed for small to medium-sized business (SMB) and small office/home office (SOHO) customers, is an affordable option for 4/6/8-bay SMB NAS servers that feature10GbE support and hardware-accelerated encryption.
?The new QNAP NAS system based on the AMD Embedded G-Series SoC exemplifies AMD?s continued dedication to innovation on embedded solutions,? said Scott Aylor, corporate vice president and general manager for AMD Embedded Solutions.
?NAS is a great application for the AMD G-Series SoC, taking advantage of the strong compute, low-energy consumption, and integrated GPU for display and acceleration.?
The AMD Embedded G-Series SoC (previously codenamed ?Steppe Eagle?) offers QNAP a platform with a high performance quad-core 2.4GHz processor, up to 16GB RAM support, integrated security with hardware encryption engine, and a discrete-class graphics processing unit (GPU) and I/O controller on the same die.
?The AMD Embedded G-Series SoC is ideal for SMB and SOHO network storage needs,? said YT Lee, vice president of QNAP. ?It provides a low-power platform with exceptionally high performance at an affordable price point. This feature-rich platform provides ideal cost-performance ratio for business users.?
QNAP TVS-x63+ series Turbo vNAS is powered by AMD quad-core 2.4 GHz processor with 10 GbE capability, and features a hardware-accelerated encryption engine with over 400MB/s throughput, legendary AMD Radeon graphics, and AMD-V virtualization support.
The platform offers customers centralized data storage, sharing, backup, and management, along with comprehensive business applications. In addition, the platform contains numerous compelling features including:
? High-speed 10GbE for fast business data backup, sharing and video editing
? Fast 256-bit full AES NAS encryption performance for enhanced data security
? QNAP QvPC Technology for running multiple virtual machines with 4K display support
? Professional network video recorder system for real-time monitoring, recording, playback, alarm notifications, and Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) to safeguard business assets and property when used with supported IP cameras.
? On-the-fly and background video transcoding with hardware acceleration
? Dual HDMI connectivity with 7.1-Channel HD audio pass-through for video enthusiasts
