QNAP QSN-3000 18-Bay 2U Entry-level Scale-out Storage Node QuTS MEGA NAS

Features

The enterprise-grade QSN-3000 Scale-out storage node is powered by a server-class Intel® Xeon® processor and DDR4 ECC memory, purpose-built for PB-scale data, long-term retention, and high availability requirements. Running on the QuTS MEGA Scale-out operating system, QSN-3000 leverages a native distributed architecture to form a horizontally scalable storage cluster. By adding nodes, organizations can seamlessly scale both capacity and performance - eliminating the expansion and performance limitations of traditional single-node NAS systems.

The system supports both Erasure Coding and Replication data protection mechanisms, with “Node” as the failure domain. This architecture ensures continuous service operation and data integrity even in the event of multiple node or disk failures. QSN-3000 serves as the ideal core building block for enterprise file services, object storage, long-term archiving, disaster recovery, and large-scale data platforms.

• Scale-out Architecture

Built on a native Scale-out architecture, enterprises can expand nodes on demand to meet evolving capacity and performance requirements. Both storage capacity and throughput scale linearly with each additional node - eliminating the expansion constraints of traditional single-node storage systems. All scaling operations are performed without service interruption.

• High-Efficiency Data Protection with Erasure Coding

Supports both Erasure Coding and Replication to balance data protection and storage efficiency. With "Node" defined as the failure domain, the architecture eliminates single points of failure and is particularly well-suited for large-capacity deployments and long-term data retention scenarios.

• Distributed Services and Fault Tolerance

In the event of a node failure, services automatically recover and migrate to maintain continuous availability. The system simultaneously initiates self-healing processes to rebuild lost data, ensuring data integrity and uninterrupted business operations.

• Multi-Protocol Enterprise Services

Native support for SMB, NFS, and S3 API enables seamless integration with both traditional file-based applications and modern object storage architectures. Existing applications can be deployed without modification, accelerating adoption and simplifying infrastructure transitions.

• High-Performance Hardware Platform

Powered by server-grade CPUs and ECC memory, combined with enterprise-class HDD and SSD configurations, and support for 25GbE high-speed networking. This architecture delivers stable, predictable node-level performance to meet the demands of internal cluster synchronization and concurrent user access at scale.

• Enterprise-Grade Monitoring and Operations

Integrated with Prometheus and Alertmanager for comprehensive cluster monitoring and alerting. Supports rolling upgrades to ensure continuous service availability. Systems can also be integrated into the QNAP Service War Room, where the vendor team provides real-time support and long-term operational assurance.
