The TAS-168 is an all-in-1 network storage center for file storage, backup, remote access and multimedia playback. Powered by an ARM v7 dual-core processor with 2GB RAM, the compact TAS-168 delivers quiet and energy-saving operation as a home NAS, and serves as a personal cloud storage as well as media center for entertainment. It supports SMB/CIFS, NFS, and AFP protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, Linux/UNIX networks. Data, logs and ISO images of CDs and DVDs can be centrally stored on the TAS-168 and protected by an integrated antivirus solution. QNAP NetBak Replicator supports real-time and scheduled data backup on Windows, and Time Machine is also supported for Mac data backup. The TAS-168's front-panel USB port features a one-touch-copy function for you to instantly back up data from external drives to the TAS-168 with just one click, or alternatively to back up data from the TAS-168 to external drives. Disaster recovery solutions including RTRR, rsync and cloud storage backup (Dropbox and Google Drive) are also included.
The myQNAPcloud service allows remote access to files stored on the TAS-168 and supports automatic port forwarding for UPnP routers, My DDNS service and CloudLink, allowing you to easily access files, share multimedia, and check your system status from anywhere. In addition to working independently, the TAS-168 can also be used with another QNAP NAS to handle more applications. Various VPN apps available in Google Play can help stream media contents from blocked sites, or create a secure OpenVPN tunnel between the TAS-168 and another NAS to process remote backup tasks. You can use DLNA-compatible devices such as Smart TVs, Sony PS4 or Microsoft Xbox 360 to enjoy HD quality videos stored on the TAS-168. Enjoy your home entertainment in an easy way.
