Space-Saving QNAP TS-855eU 2.5GbE NAS for Virtualisation and Expandability

The QNAP TS-855eU 2.5GbE NAS offers flexible IT deployment, robust performance, and scalable storage expansion, making it ideal for virtualisation, data access, and backup applications in space-constrained environments.

The QNAP TS-855eU is a compact and powerful 2.5GbE NAS designed to meet the needs of small-to-medium-sised businesses. Powered by an Intel® 8-core processor, the TS-855eU delivers excellent performance, making it perfect for fast data access, backup, file server applications, and virtualisation. Its short-depth design, with a depth of only 11.7 inches (297.4 mm), allows it to fit in tight spaces, such as small media cabinets or areas with complex cabling, making it a great choice for offices or audiovisual rooms.

Equipped with dual 2.5GbE ports (backwards compatible with 1G/100M) and support for port trunking, the TS-855eU ensures enhanced network performance and fault tolerance. This NAS also offers flexible storage expansion by allowing connections to QNAP’s TL-JBOD units, enabling businesses to add up to 48 additional drives, helping to match their growing storage needs.

The TS-855eU features two PCIe Gen 3 slots for further expansion, supporting 5/10/25GbE network cards, QM2 cards, or Fibre Channel cards. Additionally, the dual M.2 PCIe NVMe slots enable SSD caching or SSD storage pools, which optimise SSD performance for a more efficient system.

Running the QTS operating system by default, the TS-855eU can be upgraded to the ZFS-based QuTS hero OS, which provides enhanced data integrity and WORM protection. With long-term support from QNAP until 2030, the TS-855eU is the ideal NAS solution for businesses needing a reliable, scalable solution for long-term IT projects.
