QNAP NAS

QNAP units offer strong hardware for the money, often with 10 GbE and NVMe cache built in. They have also been a frequent ransomware target when exposed to the internet, so our QNAP work starts with locking the device down.

We deploy QNAP for file shares, surveillance storage and as a backup target, with QuTS hero ZFS when the model supports it.

How we work

Storage projects begin with an honest capacity and performance baseline: how much data, how fast it grows, what IOPS and latency the applications actually need. That baseline decides between an entry SAN, a unified array, a NAS or a hyper-converged design, and it keeps vendors from selling you the biggest box.

We build the network under the storage as carefully as the storage itself: isolated iSCSI paths or dual FC fabrics, multipathing on every host and a failover test before anything goes live. Backups get an immutable copy and a restore test on a schedule.

Migrations are run as projects with a written cutover plan, a rollback path and a validation checklist. Old arrays are decommissioned with certified data destruction and the documentation is handed over.
