Taipei, Taiwan, January 24, 2017 – QNAP ® Systems, Inc. today released the TVS-882ST2 Thunderbolt™ 2 NAS. Powered by an energy-efficient Intel® 6th Generation 14nm Core™ i5 Quad-core processor with AES-NI hardware encryption and supporting eight 2.5″ SATA 6Gb/s SSD/HDD, it also includes high-speed Thunderbolt 2 connectivity, 10GbE 10GBASE-T dual networking ports, USB 3.1 Type-C/Type-A 10Gbps ports, 4K HDMI output and provides a Thunderbolt/NAS/iSCSI SAN triple solution. The TVS-882ST2 empowers intensive applications such as 4K video editing, and provides high-speed data access, back up and sharing. The TVS-882ST2 is also suitable for an all-SSD configuration to provide the utmost performance.

Running the new 64-bit QTS 4.3 operating system, the TVS-882ST2 supports the Thunderbolt to Ethernet (T2E) Converter that allows the Thunderbolt port to act as an Ethernet connection. This allows users of devices without Ethernet ports to connect to networks without requiring an extra adapter. Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapters (sold separately) can also be used with the TVS-882ST2 to provide additional connectivity options.

“The TVS-882ST2 is a powerful NAS that provides incredible performance and connectivity to meet the needs of storage-intensive tasks such as high-resolution media editing. By exclusively using 2.5″ drives, the TVS-88ST2 is also incredibly compact and especially suited for small studios and other space-conscious environments,” said Jason Hsu, QNAP Product Manager. “Users can choose to use normal HHD or SDD with either Thunderbolt 2 or 10GbE high-speed transferring interface to complete their daily tasks like data access, data sharing or video editing.”

More than being a high-speed storage solution to boost the workflow for video producer and organization, the TVS-882ST2 can empower various digital applications with its abundant functions. Virtualization Station allows users to host Windows, Linux, UNIX and Android™ based virtual machines on the NAS; Container Station integrates LXC and Docker® lightweight virtualization technologies; QvPC Technology allows the TVS-882ST2 to be used as a PC by connecting a keyboard, mouse and HDMI display; Linux Station also allows the TVS-882ST2 to be used as a Ubuntu®-based PC.

The TVS-882ST2 is easily expandable to meet growing data requirements. Users can connect up to six Thunderbolt 2 expansion enclosures (TX-800P or TX-500P or two USB 3.0 expansion enclosures (UX-800P or UX-500P) to the TVS-882ST2 to maximize storage space. With VJBOD (Virtual JBOD), users can also leverage the TVS-882ST2 to expand the storage space of other QNAP NAS and create virtual storage pools and volumes on virtual disks for operating NAS services.
