Intel® Xeon® E5 dual-controller for nearly zero downtime
high-availability
The ES1640dc v2 is powered by two Intel® Xeon® E5-2400 v2 processors and
features dual active-active controller architecture, ensuring businesses with
nearly zero downtime high availability as the standby controller can quickly
take over if one controller breaks down. The ES1640dc v2 connects to the JBOD
enclosure (EJ1600 v2) via the dual path mini-SAS design to sustain continuous
operations even if an external JBOD cable is disconnected. Designed around
redundancy, the ES1640dc v2 is the best realization of reliable enterprise
storage for uninterrupted mission-critical enterprise tasks and productivity.
Dual controller NAS: high reliability and high availability
“Reliability” is the primary priority for mission critical business
applications. The ES1640dc v2 adopts dual active-active controllers to provide
the most reliable base for business IT storage.
1. Dual active-active controller
If one controller fails, the other one will immediately take over to provide
high availability with the least downtime.
2. Built-in 4 x 10GbE SFP+ ports
Intel® XL710 network card provides four 10GbE SFP+ ports to fulfill various
iSCSI/NFS/CIFS network data transmission requirements.
3. Pre-installed dual-port 10GbE (RJ45) network card
The PCIe slot is pre-installed with a LAN-10G2T-X550 network card that offers
two 10GbE RJ45 ports. Users can replace it with a dual-port QSFP+ 40GbE NIC to
provide massive data transmission potential and to simplify network cabling.
4. SAS 12Gb/s hard drive
Dual-controller architecture that supports SAS 12Gb/s and SAS 6Gb/s hard
drives / SSDs, providing versatile storage choices for enterprises.
5-1. NVRAM w/ Copy-to-Flash
Battery-protected DRAM write to cache data protection and Flash read
acceleration provides industry-leading random access performance to benefit
virtual machine deployment.
5-2. DDR3 RAM
(1) NVRAM dedicated DDR3 memory modules - supports 16GB, power required by
C2F is supplied by BBU.
(2) Dual-channel DDR3 system main memory - each channel supports 16GB/32GB,
providing up to 32GB/64GB total capacity.
5-3. M.2 SSD
Stores cache data written by DRAM to ensure information is not lost if the
system experiences a sudden power failure.
6. Dual Path Mini-SAS 12Gb/s (EJ1600 v2), 6Gb/s (EJ1600) JBOD
architecture
Increases the ES1640dc v2’s potential storage capacity to over 1 PB with
expansion enclosures.

Field-replaceable unit (FRU) applies not only to the controllers but also to
the cooling fans, power supplies, and the BBU battery pack for C2F
(Copy-To-Flash), providing a cost-effective way to maintain complex systems and
to replace defective parts
NVRAM cache reducing the risks of losing write cache data
To increase random write performance and reliability, the ES1640dc v2
features NVRAM modules (DRAM Write Cache with Copy-to-flash) to protect write
data. When data is written into NVRAM, there are dedicated backup battery units
to protect writing to the cache, and at the same time the data is replicated to
a backup controller, to achieve 100% data integrity. NVRAM-backed write cache in
the dual-controller architecture presents high performance, fault-tolerant, and
helps reduce flash SSD write amplification.
Leverage the 6Gbps SAS to SATA drive adapter
While SATA 6Gb/s SSDs provide high-performance yet affordable storage, the
lack of dual-port support makes them unsuitable for dual-controller
environments. The QDA-SA adapter is designed for QNAP Enterprise ZFS NAS, and
allows the use of a SATA 6Gb/s drive in a 3.5-inch SAS drive bay - providing the
ability to expand storage capacity by using cost-effective SATA drives. By
installing a SATA drive with the QDA-SA into the dual-controller ES1640dc v2,
the SATA drive can share these SAS dual-port advantages to ensure a
high-availability, fault-tolerant enterprise storage environment.
QES operating system combining ZFS file system
The ES1640dc v2 features the brand-new QES (QNAP Enterprise Storage)
operating system, which is based on the simple and efficient FreeBSD kernel and
the ZFS file system that has been proven through years of experience to be most
suitable for high-end enterprise applications. QES supports dual active
controller architecture and remote disaster recovery, can be directly integrated
into OpenStack® cloud environments, and is designed for intensive virtualization
and VDI applications with optimal performance. Continuing the same user
experience with the QTS operating system, QES provides business users with an
easy learning curve to quickly deploy the ES1640dc v2, and provides the best
storage solution jointly with the current QNAP NAS.

on data integrity, and uses its end-to-end checksums to detect and correct
silent data corruption caused by hardware defects, bugs in firmware or metadata
errors, effectively protecting user’s data.
Deduplication and compression to maximize VDI storage
performance
There could be over 90% duplicate data from OS images and applications that
are spread over virtual desktops. The ES1640dc v2 supports block-based data
deduplication to optimize storage usage from redundant data. Deduplicated
virtual desktops become easier to be cached to achieve optimal virtual desktop
performance. In-line data compression helps shrink data size, further optimizing
storage usage. For mastering storage in a virtualized environment, the ES1640dc
v2 provides businesses with the most cost-effective remote virtual desktop
platform and mission-critical information warehousing.
Strong disaster recovery made by nearly limitless snapshots and
SnapSync
The ES1640dc v2 supports up to 65,535 snapshots for iSCSI LUN and shared
folders. When executing a remote snapshot backup, it only needs to transfer
changed data, and can use deduplication and compression to significantly reduce
the amount of transferred data. The ES1640dc v2 can provide remote backup
SnapSync for snapshots at the shortest interval of every five minutes, fully
supports VMware vCenter Site Recovery (SRM) technology, provides Storage
Replication Adapter (SRA) for SRM, and provides enterprise-class remote backup
& disaster recovery solution to fulfill business continuity.
Well-rounded backup solutions to secure data
QNAP Netbak Replicator is an easy-to-use and VSS-aware backup software, and
helps businesses to create complete backups in datacenter and virtualization
