QNAP Systems is one of the better known suppliers of NAS devices and, by extension, of NAS OS'es. The QTS 4.0 Turbo NAS OS has now been updated.

In the end, network-attached storage devices are still a type of computer, with a CPU, memory, storage support and connectivity capabilities. That means they have an operating system.

With the update, the Turbo NAS efficiency in storage management should grow, expansion capabilities will be enhanced, data processing will go more smoothly, virtualization environments will make data easier to manage, etc.

QNAP's Turbo NAS OS now supports 400 TB capacities, with flexible volume management (with or without thin-provisioned volume).

"Our previous release of QTS 4.0 for home-class Turbo NAS models has been a great success with tremendous positive feedback from our users," said Tony Lu, product manager of QNAP.

"Now we are pleased to bring forth the QTS 4.0 for QNAP's business-class Turbo NAS models that we believe will greatly benefit business applications of the Turbo NAS."
