“Virtualization Station 4 is a trusted NAS virtualization platform for enterprise IT teams,” said Oliver Lam, QNAP Product Manager, adding, “With VM HA, IT staff can be more confident in maintaining business continuity even in the event of a host failure, making it ideal for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) to enhance the resilience and sustainability of their critical services.”
Note: The Virtual Machine HA Beta feature in Virtualization Station 4.1 is only supported on NAS models with QuTS hero version 5.3.0 or higher. QTS is not supported.
