QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking, and storage solutions innovator, officially released its High Availability (HA) solution, empowering businesses to maintain uninterrupted access to mission-critical data and services through reliable dual-NAS failover architecture. Building on successful beta testing and positive market reception, the finalized HA solution offers enterprise-level uptime with cost-effective deployment for organizations of all sizes.
“With growing IT complexity, uninterrupted access to critical services is essential,” said Andy Yu, Product Manager at QNAP, adding “QNAP’s High Availability solution combines automatic failover, real-time sync, and intuitive management to ensure continuous operations across industries.”
Key highlights of QNAP Dual-NAS HA solution:
- Cost-efficient: QNAP HA offers ZFS-based storage with a low total cost of ownership (TCO), making it accessible even to budget-conscious organizations.
- Automatic failover: In the event of a failure in the active server, the passive server takes over seamlessly in less than 90 seconds, avoiding costly downtime.
- Real-time data synchronization: Powered by SnapSync technology, QNAP HA ensures consistent, real-time replication of data between NAS units (minimal RPO), minimizing the risk of data loss.
- Simplified cluster management: The High Availability Manager application allows IT teams to easily manage clusters, monitor system health, and administrate both NAS units through a centralized, user-friendly interface.
- Versatile use cases: From virtualization storage, AI server expansion storage, to media production storage, the QNAP HA solution fits seamlessly into diverse IT infrastructures.
The Active-Passive HA solution enhances QNAP’s high availability portfolio, enabling organizations of all sizes to achieve uninterrupted operations with greater flexibility and cost-efficiency. Complemented by the ES series enterprise NAS with Active-Active dual-controller architecture and L3 Lite managed switches supporting MC-LAG network redundancy, QNAP delivers a multi-layered HA infrastructure spanning storage and networking — empowering businesses to enhance IT resilience and maintain a competitive edge.
