The high-performance quad-core short depth TS-431XeU includes a 10GbE SFP+ port to fully support 10GbE high-speed networks at a budget price with maximized ROI. The short depth design is perfectly suitable for installing the TS-431XeU in a compact rack, or places with a lot of cabling. The TS-431XeU provides versatile all-in-one functionality and unique features including VJBOD (Virtual JBOD) - an economical way to utilize unused NAS storage space for expanding the storage capacity of other QNAP NAS - and Container Station - that allows users to rapidly develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) apps. The TS-431XeU is a cost-effective storage solution designed for growing businesses looking for backup, restoration, private cloud, storage for virtualization, and to future-proof their IT infrastructure for 10GbE networks. **Features** * The short depth design is suitable for installing in smaller racks or space-constrained locations * 10GbE readiness, SSD caching, and encryption acceleration engine * VJBOD allows using the TS-431XeU to expand the storage capacity of other QNAP NAS * Containerized virtualization and IoT app development with Container Station * Build a private cloud to centrally organize & manage files and backup tasks * Secure access with VPN Server & VPN Client * Qsirch, the full text search engine, helps quickly locate files on the NAS **Smaller Footprint for Bigger Opportunities** Compared to a traditional 4-bay rackmount NAS, the TS-431XeU has a depth of only 11.46 inches (291 mm). This makes the TS-431XeU an excellent choice for smaller racks, and the unused space can be reserved for cabling or ventilation. The TS-431XeU is space-saving for flexible deployment and is especially suitable for multiple locations and applications including offices, audiovisual rooms and security surveillance recording. **Quad-core CPU and built-in one 10GbE SFP+ port** The TS-431XeU is equipped with an Annapurna Labs, an Amazon company, Alpin
