13. Desktop and Application Virtualization
Benefits of using Virtualization Station
• Supports various Operating Systems to install on
VMs
• Applications installed on VMs can expand the
compatibility of the NAS
• Aggregates IT infrastructure ( NAS + Servers > VMs
in NAS )
• Reduced time and cost to build up VMs compared
to physical machines
• More efficiency to deploy, operate and manage
systems by using VMs

14. Internet of Things. The next revolution is here.
What about data storage for IoT?
Now everything is connected to the
Internet, and automatically-generated
data is constantly growing.
You may resort to public cloud services
to store IoT data, but the storage cost
could be considerable, and there are
also privacy and security concerns that
must be addressed.
If valuable data is stored outside of your
company/organization, it also leads to
potential control and ownership issues.
QIoT Containers
Your private IoT cloud platform

15. You need a private cloud
to backbone your IoT
Large storage capacity
Well-rounded security
Protocols for IoT
Shorter design lifecycle
Scalability for microservices
Integrated with public clouds

16. IoT use cases
Industrial Internet of
Things
“QIoT Containers”
starter kits for developers

17. IoT use cases
