QNAP QTS 4.4.1 FILE/BLOCK CLOUD GATEWAY the FAST LANE CONNECTING ON-PREMISES and CLOUD DATA STORAGE Digital Transformation

QTS 4.4.1 Cloud Storage Digital Transformation Gateway Outline

1 Demand And Problem of Hybrid Cloud Solution

2 QNAP’s Cloud Storage Gateway

3 File-based Cloud Gateway – HybridMount

4 Block-based Cloud Gateway – VJBOD Cloud

5 Use Scenario

6 Recommended NAS Models Hot data storage trends

More hot data is accessed from the cloud • 80%+ organizations has hybrid-cloud environment and • Most businesses use multiple clouds

More data is stored on the cloud

• Backup, remote backup to the cloud • Cloud computing services The demand for cloud data backup

Low latency access Integrate multiple 1 • Near-LAN access speeds 2 clouds • Use the same • Access different clouds using applications and standard the same mothod protocols

Efficient Management Cost Saving 3 • Centrally manage multi clouds 4 • Centrally manage access • Reduce cloud storage used permission settings • Minimize network usage Benefits of cloud storage gateway

Support more access protocols Near-LAN access speed

Featuring protocol conversion, the Keep the frequently-accessed data in NAS Cloud Gateway allows you to access the cache space, allowing you to enjoy low-latency cloud storage using standard SMB, FTP, NFS, access to cached cloud files with near-LAN AFP, iSCSI protocols. Windows, MAC, Linux speeds via the Internet. users can all easily access the cloud.

Cloud usage efficiency Minimize network usage cost

Cloud Storage Gateway fully integrates with When many users need to access the same public cloud storage to centrally store data file, they can access the cached file instead of generated from multiple locations with the each downloading a copy, greatly reducing flexibility and convenience of cloud storage network usage charges. expansion.
