With its powerful AMD Ryzen™ V1000 series V1500B Quad-core processor, the TS-873AU is capable of boosting virtual machine performance with up to 4 cores/8 threads at 2.2GHz. The TS-873AU includes two 2.5GbE ports and a PCIe Gen 3 slot, providing you with fast network connectivity and the ability to add extra functionality and additional application potential. Cutting-edge hardware integrated with comprehensive software solutions makes the TS-873AU the preeminent choice to tackle resource-demanding applications and tasks.

Absolute performance with AMD Ryzen™ and up to 32GB RAM

Powered by a 4-core/8-thread AMD Ryzen™ V1500B 2.2GHz processor with AES-NI encryption acceleration and up to 32GB DDR4 RAM, the rackmount TS-873AU delivers aggressive yet power-smart performance to drive resource-demanding business applications such as VDI, R&D, private cloud, and server virtualization.

Note: Purchase the optional RAIL-B02 rail kit to deploy the TS-873AU in a 19-inch rack following the ANSI/EIA-RS-310-D standard.

Block-based iSCSI LUN: Ideal choice for virtualization storage

The TS-873AU supports block-based iSCSI LUN and is compatible for VMware®, Citrix®, Microsoft® Hyper-V®, and Windows Server® 2019 virtualization environments to provide a high-performance and affordable storage solution. The TS-873AU also supports VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX to increase performance by offloading server loading for ESXi server and Hyper-V respectively, and supporting QNAP vSphere Client plug-in with enhanced operational efficiency and management in virtualization applications.

Optimized performance for VMware Virtualization with iSER

The iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol boosts the data transfer performance of VMware® ESXi storage and reduces the CPU load of the ESXi server. iSER support can be added to the TS-873AU by installing a QNAP QXG-10G2SF-CX4 10GbE PCIe card, which uses the Mellanox® ConnectX-4 controller. iSER can provide a significant increase in performance, providing an essential tool to optimize demanding virtualization applications.

All-in-one server to host virtual machines and containers

Regardless of your virtualization needs, you can count on Virtualization Station and Container Station for complete virtualization support. Use the Network & Virtual Switch app to allocate adequate physical network resources to virtual machines, containers, and the TS-873AU to simplify network deployment.

Upgrade to 2.5GbE networking

The TS-873AU comes with two 2.5GbE RJ45 LAN ports that allow you to use existing CAT5e cables to upgrade network speeds from 1 Gigabit to 2.5 Gigabit. 5GbE speeds can also be attained by using Port Trunking. To upgrade your laptops and desktops to take advantage of high-speed networks, QNAP offer various adapters and peripherals, including a USB 3.2 Gen 1 to 5GbE adapter (Model name QNA-UC5G1T) and 5GbE PCIe expansion card (Model name QXG-5G1T-111C).

Transform your network with a wallet-friendly 2.5GbE switch

Upgrading your network shouldn’t break the bank, and 2.5GbE connectivity provides immediately noticeable improvements compared to standard 1GbE. The QSW-1105-5T is an unmanaged switch with five 2.5GbE ports (backwards compatible with 1G/100M) and supports CAT5e cables to connect multiple computers and NAS. The QSW-1105-5T is energy-saving, low-noise, plug-and-use, and supports loop detection and blocking to provide a simple and effective high-speed network environment.

Abundant I/O capabilities with PCIe expansion

The TS-873AU includes a PCIe Gen 3 x8 slot, allowing you to add additional functionality with a compatible PCIe card. By using a suitable adapter, PCIe bifurcation is supported, allowing you to use two PCIe Gen 3 x4 cards.
