QuTS hero: High-performance ZFS-based operating system with greater reliability
QuTS hero focuses on data integrity and features self-healing capabilities. It supports read/write cache technology to boost performance and provides multiple RAID configurations with the newly-added RAID Triple Parity and Triple Mirror to enhance data protection. Additionally, support for near-limitless, instant snapshots enables more complete multi-version backups. For data reduction, QuTS hero supports inline data deduplication, inline compression, and inline compaction to optimize storage usage and improve performance. Whether used as a mission-critical file server, virtualization server, VDI, collaborative video editing, and efficient file backup and recovery, QuTS hero streamlines business-critical tasks. The inclusive App Center provides multiple install-on-demand apps to further expand NAS application potentials, such as hosting virtual machines and containers, simplifying local, remote, or cloud backups, performing cloud storage gateway (feature will be available soon), and more.
