Overview:
Designed for diversified business IT environments, the TVS-972XU 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.
Robust. Durable. Expandable
The TVS-972XU 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-channel Memory to deliver power-smart performance
The TVS-872XU-RP supports dual-channel DDR4 memory in four Long-DIMM slots. When using paired memory modules, the TVS-872XU-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-872XU-RP for greater performance to tackle dynamically-changing workloads such as virtualization.
Dual 10GbE connectivity optimizes high-speed data transfer and VMware virtualization with iSER
The TVS-972XU 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 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.
Empower GPU-accelerated computing with graphics cards
Graphics cards are optimized for graphical calculations and transformations. The TVS-972XU provides PCIe slots for installing an AMD Radeon™ or NVIDIA® graphics card to boost data-intensive AI machine learning, while also providing benefits for imaging processing and virtual machine performance (via GPU passthrough).
Note:
1. 3U/4U models support high-profile graphics cards that require external power; 1U/2U models support low-profile graphics cards that do not require additional external power (For example, the NVIDIA GT1030).
2. GPU support for QTS only applies to NVIDIA graphics cards. GPU Passthrough for VM is supported by AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
3. When Virtualization Station uses graphics cards, the NAS will temporarily stop hardware transcoding acceleration for QTS (and vice versa).
4. Always consult the Compatibility List for supported NAS and graphics cards before purchasing a graphics card for the NAS.
Features:
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.
