Qnap has announced a new 1U rackmount NAS: the TS-433eU. This compact four-bay system is designed for businesses that need an affordable storage and backup solution in a space-constrained environment.

The TS-433eU has a depth of just 292.3 mm, making it suitable for small cabinets and wall-mounted network racks. The system is equipped with an energy-efficient ARM Cortex-A55 quad-core processor and 4 GB of RAM. This means the NAS offers stable operation with lower power consumption than x86-based alternatives. The built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) supports AI applications such as facial recognition and subject identification via Qnap’s QuMagie software.

In addition, the TS-433eU has two 2.5GbE ports that enable fast data transfer and fault tolerance via SMB multichannel or port trunking. With two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, users can expand external storage up to 144TB using Qnap’s TR-004U JBOD solution.

Focus on privacy and versatility

The TS-433eU supports comprehensive backup options including PCs, servers and cloud platforms such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Snapshot integration protects data from ransomware and enables fast recovery options. Additionally, users can deploy Docker containers for microservices or use the NAS as a video surveillance system.

Thanks to its compact size and versatile functionality, the TS-433eU is suitable for various business environments such as offices, factories and IT rooms. The TS-433eU is available through authorized Qnap dealers.
