4. Why LXC? LXC ： Lightweight virtualization to Linux OS. Docker ： Container-based application virtualization. LXCDocker 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? Just Docker is not good enough!.

5. Server/Desktop Virtualization – Virtualization Station

6. NAS Virtualization Station VM What is Virtualization Station? Allows users to create and operate virtual machines (VMs) in the QNAP Turbo NAS.

7. VMware ® ESXi™, Citrix ® XenServer™, Microsoft ® Hyper-V™ Traditional NAS QNAP NAS All of the trademarks and copyrights featured in this slide belong to their respective owners. VM VMware ESXi VM NAS Built-in Virtual Machines A traditional NAS can only support virtualization solutions as sharing storage. With Virtualization Station, the NAS itself has a built-in hypervisor. Switch

8. 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 and continue using your existing systems. QNAP NAS features server-grade CPUs and hardware to enable 24/7 services, high-speed I/O, and scalable storage design.

9. How to Operate VM Console Local access - intuitive, simple and fast. –By using the VMs in the QVM Desk through HDMI monitors and with a keyboard & mouse, users can use a VM the same way they use a PC.

10. Remote Desktop Operations Supports HTML5-compatible web browsers: –Firefox 、 Chrome 、 IE…etc. Supports the industrial-standard VNC clients: –VNC, RealVNC, UltraVNC…etc. Supports others remote-access software: –Windows Terminal Services or Windows remote desktop –SPICE client –Teamviewer* –Splashtop* * Need to install server-side software in the VM.

13. Dedicated Network Occupies an Ethernet Port Past Must attach a VM dedicated network. The transfer rate between VM and NAS is not fast.

16. No Need for a Dedicated Network Shares the same interface with NAS. Supports hi-speed Virtual Switches. Supports 10GbE network transfer. Supports port-trunking interface. Testing on TVS-EC1080, SSD*4 RAID 0, sequential read/write, 48GB file Now 6x 11x NAS VM transfer Read Write

17. Disaster Recovery: VM Backup & Restore Disaster Recovery – Remote Backup & Restore. Non-stop backup – online VM backup. Shorten the VM downtime – directly boot up the VM backup. Scheduled backups – Set a retention number and preserve VM snapshots. Snapshots can only revert a VM to the previous normal status. However, if the HDD experiences problems, the VM image does not exist… Past Now

18. Moving VMs between NAS VMs can be remotely imported/exported to/from other NAS or other hypervisors such as VMware and VirtualBox.

19. Central Device Management Fast and clear to see every VM’s settings. Adjust HDD capacity, add devices, change controllers and connect USB devices from a centralized page. It would be a hassle to adjust a batch of VMs’ configuration because it needs to be done one by one. Past Now

20. USB 3.0 Connection USB 3.0 passthrough is supported by Windows 8 (and above) and the latest Linux distributions for common USB devices such as storage, card readers, USB keys and printers. USB 3.0 devices were limited to USB 2.0 speeds. Past Now
