This document discusses using QNAP NAS devices as an easy-to-deploy IoT server platform. It highlights the NAS's ability to run virtual machines and containers for application deployment through Virtualization Station and Container Station. The document also notes that QNAP NAS devices provide remote management and access capabilities as well as the ability to sync with public clouds. Finally, it argues that QNAP NAS devices offer a complete, secure private cloud solution for intelligent system deployment.

NEW Competition & Challenges

3. • Users require security, manageability, edge analytics, and storage solutions
to be implemented over a connected network
• Too many required software building blocks beyond our own focus: e.g.
network, remote access, backup, security, …
• How to resolve the software update difficulty?
• Where is the complete solution that is ready to
be deployed quickly without extra effort?
Challenges in Embedded Deployment

4. NEW Private Cloud Strategy for
Intelligent System Deployment
• QNAP Private Cloud Platform!
A expandable server platform
to host all kinds of industrial
server software
• Flexibility! Can run as a server,
storage, or network appliance.
• Cloud-ready! Central cloud
infrastructure, “myQNAPcloud”
is available. No need to invest
again !

5. A hybrid approach to Virtualization
Virtualization Station 2.0
Server/Desktop Virtualization.
• Secure, isolated computing environment.
• Supports Windows, Linux, UNIX and Android.
Container Station 1.0
Container-based Virtualization.
• Supports importing/exporting LXC and Docker containers.
• Easy deployment, lightweight, portable and efficient.

7. VM, LXC, and Container!
LXC：Lightweight virtualization to Linux OS.
Docker：Container-based application virtualization.
LXC Docker
architecture
Supports fully-virtualized Linux including boot-up
procedures such as init and daemon.
Single image, sharing with the host kernel and running
as an application.
Purpose
1. Run multi-applications on a single Linux OS
2. Needs a full-function Linux , e.g. init, daemon
3. Needs to upgrade the Linux OS version
1. Single container, single application
2. Rapid cross-platform deployment & migration
3. Independent containers within respective Linux
versions
Can Docker provide a fully-virtualized Linux environment for R&D
development?

8. Easy-to-deploy IoT Server
A. Virtualization Station (On-Device Hypervisor)
• Run your applications in VMs(Virtual Machines) on top of QNAP NAS
• Support all kinds of OS including Windows
• Unique “QvPC” Technology

9. How to Migrate an Existing System?
• Convert an OS from physical to virtual by using VMware vCenter Converter.
This is especially useful for legacy/discontinued software and OS.
• Supports for Windows Server 2003 will be stopped by the end of 2015.
Supports .vmx files generated by VMware
vCenter Converter. You can directly import
the .vmx file to Virtualization Station.
QNAP NAS features server-grade CPUs and
hardware to enable 24/7 services, high-
speed I/O, and scalable storage design.

10. Easy-to-deploy IoT Server
B. Container Station
• LXC Virtualization
Supports LXC deployment with built-in Ubuntu, Debian,
and Fedora. Users can easily run complete Linux
virtualization on the QNAP NAS.
• Docker Containers
Supports lightweight deployment of virtual containerized
applications, which is excellent for microservices as it
isolates containers to one process or service.

11. Easy-to-deploy IoT Server
B. Container Station
• Light-weighted choice: LXC (Linux Container) and Docker Container
• QNAP support both the VM & Container Technology

12. Easy-to-deploy IoT Server
C. App Center on QNAP
• Simplify the deployment process
• Simplify the software upgrade
• Boost the brand image
• One-click installation
• Cross different QNAP models
supported

13. Easy-to-deploy IoT Server
D. Personal/ Private Cloud & Remote Access
• Remote Management – by using MyQNAPCloud Service
• Mobile App Management & Access
• Also support to sync with public cloud storage (if required)

15. Recap: 10 Reasons to choose NAS
1. Complete server system
2. Easy-to-use web management
3. No extra license fee
4. All-in-1 server
5. Good developer’s platform
6. Free software update
7. Data backup features
8. Remote accessible and cloud connection
9. Full spectrum of NAS hardware choices
10.A secure private cloud

16. Special Form Factor for IPC
• Dust-proof and shockproof, reliable for extreme environments
• Operates from -20°C ~ 50°C *, temperature range increased 40%
• Optional wall mount and din rail mount accessories for flexible installation
options
