Marketing Information:

8th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. Built-in Mellanox® ConnectX®-4 Lx 10GbE Controller. iSER supported.

Designed for diversified business IT environments, the TVS-972XU-RP features an 8th generation Intel® Core™ processor, Mellanox® ConnectX®-4 Lx 10GbE controller, and PCIe expansion for 25GbE / 40GbE connectivity to boost intensive large file sharing, heavily-loaded backups, or virtualization applications. Its hybrid storage architecture with four 3.5-inch HDD and five 2.5-inch SSD drive bays allows for enabling SSD caching and Qtier™ auto-tiering technology for a significant performance boost. PCIe expandability also allows for installing graphics cards to empower AI workflows and video transcoding, and the 4K HDMI 2.0 output can display surveillance videos on a monitor or TV to improve surveillance management. The TVS-972XU-RP also features a redundant power supply to ensure maximum system uptime.

• Two 10GbE SFP+ SmartNIC ports with iSER support accelerate large file sharing and intensive data transfer.

• PCIe expandability allows for graphics cards or 40GbE/ 25GbE/ 10GbE adapters to increase application performance.

• 4K media playback and online transcoding. Directly view on a TV/monitor via HDMI 2.0 output (up to 4K @60Hz).

• Software-defined SSD RAID extra over-provisioning (from 1% to 60%) optimizes SSD random write speeds and extends SSD lifespan.

• Scalable storage supporting virtualization, containerized apps, centralized storage, backup, sharing, and disaster recovery.

• Comprehensive security management, providing a security portal for your NAS and helping you to stay informed of NAS status at all times.

8th Gen Intel® Core™ processors with more cores and power, and up to 64 GB RAM

The TVS-972XU-RP features an 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i3-8100 quad-core 3.6 GHz processor and up to 64 GB DDR4 memory, delivering higher performance to help you accomplish more tasks efficiently. It provides two Gigabit and two 10GbE SFP+ LAN ports, supports SATA 6Gb/s drives, and features AES-NI encryption for delivering high performance while also maintaining the security of your data.

Dual-channel memory delivers power-smart performance

The TVS-972XU-RP supports dual-channel DDR4 memory in four Long-DIMM slots. When using paired memory modules, the TVS-972XU-RP can leverage the power of dual-channel architecture to boost performance. You also customize the memory configuration (supports up to 64 GB RAM) of the TVS-972XU-RP for greater performance to tackle dynamically-changing workloads such as virtualization.

Robust. Durable. Expandable.

The TVS-972XU-RP is a 9-bay hybrid storage solution supporting 3.5-inch hard drives and 2.5-inch hard drives/SSDs in one chassis. Its high-quality hardware and expandable architecture enable optimum performance and flexibility to fulfill business needs in performance and application diversification.

Dual 10GbE connectivity optimizes high-speed data transfer and VMware virtualization with iSER

The TVS-972XU-RP provides two 10GbE SFP+ ports that use the Mellanox® ConnectX®-4 Lx SmartNIC controller. They support the iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol, allowing data to bypass general network drivers, the socket layer, and to directly enter memory buffers of the ESXi server and storage to offload CPU workloads. When both the VMware® server and the TVS-972XU-RP support iSER, it can provide up to 60% increased random read/write performance and 50% decreased latency, providing an essential tool to optimize demanding virtualization applications.
