The TS-253D centrally stores data and files, and supports SMB/CIFS, AFP and NFS protocols for file sharing across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®/UNIX® networks. Coupled with the Qsync utility, any file uploaded to the TS-253D will be made available for all linked devices (such as computers, laptops and mobiles). You can sync shared folders and team folders for group file sharing to enhance the flexibility of team projects and collaboration. With the myQNAPcloud service, you can easily and securely connect to the TS-253D via the Internet for accessing, managing, and sharing NAS files. The Windows AD® and LDAP services enable system administrators to configure user permissions by using an existing Windows AD® server, LDAP server, or the TS-253D’s built-in LDAP service.Cross-platform file sharing, myQNAPcloud serviceSecure your premises with integrated surveillance solutionsQVR Pro allows you to arrange a dedicated, independent storage space for surveillance data on the TS-253D and leverage the advantages of scalable NAS storage. It greatly simplifies camera management, storage space allocation, camera live view, and playback. Supporting over 5,000 IP cameras (including all standard fisheye cameras available on the market), QVR Pro provides 8 license-free channels for surveillance monitoring and the optional QVR Pro Camera Channel Extension License for more extensive security deployment. You can also use QVR Pro Client’s mobile app to monitor anytime, or use a USB webcam as an ONVIF® network camera with the QUSBCam2 app.Notification CenterConsolidates all QTS system events, alerts, and notifications for smooth and easy NAS management, keeping you always informed of your NAS status.Security CounselorA security portal for checking weaknesses and providing recommendations for enhancing NAS security.

You can stream media files stored on the TS-253D to mobiles and media streaming devices (including DLNA®, Roku®, Amazon Fire TV® and Google Chromecast™).Note: PlexPass is required for Plex Media Server hardware transcoding.Plex Media ServerMove business data to the cloud flexibly and economicallyThe TS-253D perfectly integrates NAS with mainstream cloud services. By deploying cloud storage gateways and enabling local caching on the NAS, you can seamlessly use the cloud for storage, backup, and data recovery with low-latency access, providing an innovative hybrid cloud experience.QNAP cloud storage gatewaysHybridMount file-based cloud gatewayFlexibly expand your storage capacity by connecting to cloud storage. You can leverage QTS apps to manage and edit your cloud files or multimedia files. HybridMount is ideal for file server online collaboration and file-level data analysis.HybridMountVJBOD Cloud block-based cloud gatewayVJBOD Cloud supports streamlined NAS backup to object cloud storage. The block-based data transmission uploads random data and large files to the cloud in blocks, and only transmits block-based volume or LUN changes (such as addition, modification, or deletion). This is ideal for enterprise-level applications with large file transfer requirements, such as databases, VM volumes, and videos.VJBOD CloudAll-in-one server to host virtual machines and containersRegardless of your virtualization needs, you can count on Virtualization Station and Container Station for complete virtualization support. You can use Network & Virtual Switch to allocate adequate physical network resources to virtual machines, containers, and the NAS to simplify network deployment.Virtualization StationRun multiple Windows®, Linux®, UNIX®, and Android™ virtual machines and access them via a web browser or Virtual Network Computing (VNC). Businesses can run virtualized server applications on a single NAS without the need for additional physical servers.Expand your Storage with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) - Better than eSATA!Flexibly expand the storage capacity of the TS-253D via USB or multi-lane SATA interfaces. You can choose a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) TL series JBOD, USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) TR series RAID expansion enclosures, or SATA 6Gbps TL series JBOD. They provide economical, flexible, high-performance and high-capacity storage expansion solutions for NAS, PC and servers.
