QNAP Systems, Inc. announced recently that all models of its ultra-high performing TS-x79 and TS-x69 series Turbo NAS line-up are now officially certified VMware® Ready™ for ESXi 5, supporting vSphere 4 and vSphere 5; providing high performance, more flexibility in storage management, and easy site recovery.
The new Storage Distributed Resource Scheduler™ (SDRS) technology that comes with VMware vSphere 5 can automatically balance the loading and capacity of the virtual machine among storage devices, improving efficiency and avoiding storage resource bottlenecks. Furthermore, the TS-x79 and TS-x69 series Turbo NAS are now compatible with vCenter Site Recovery Manager™ (SRM) offering users a fully automated site recovery and migration option.
"We are proud to announce that QNAP is now fully compatible with VMware vSphere 5," said Jérôme Jaussaud, product manager of QNAP. "With the support of VMware vSphere 5, we hope QNAP users can benefit from the new technologies and optimised virtualisation environment it offers," Jaussaud added.
TS-x79 series has passed both iSCSI and NAS certification; TS-x69 series has passed NAS certification.
