QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P – 2Bay NAS with Integrated 16-port Managed PoE Switch
With CES 2019 Starting in Las Vegas, we are already seeing another of the biggest NAS brands sharing information on their latest releases for 2019. On brand I always keen a keep eye on during this period is QNAP NAS. Over the years we have seen some great hardware announced at this trade show, almost always released later that same year (exceptions such as the TGX-150, of course, will persist). CES 2019 is proving to continue this trend, as QNAP have announced some new hardware AND software featuring on their NAS drive range. In this post, I want to talk about the odd/amazon sounding new QGD-1600P NAS+POE Switch Guardian hybrid device they have announced – it sounds amazon/weird! Take a look.


What makes the QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P so unique?
Although at this time we do not have an image (I will update as and when I do) this new QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P NAS switch-based hardware is designed to combine the features and functionality of a managed PoE switch for optimizing your network, as well as the storage, media, RAID and application support of a mid-range NAS (Plex, containers, Surveillance, Backups, DLNA, etc). QNAP is revealing this device to promote their QVR Pro surveillance platform alongside HDMI out to push its use as a standalone KVM Surveillance station. Below is everything we know so far:
Here is the official QNAP Press Statement from CES 2019:

QNAP boosts networking efforts to roll out a refreshed Guardian QGD-1600P that integrates NAS, managed switch, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities into one device. The QGD-1600P features an Intel® Celeron® J4105 processor, two 2.5-inch SATA drive bays, two PCIe slots, and one HDMI output; runs the QTS operating system with the App Center to realize various applications including virtual machines, containerized apps, and video surveillance; and also acts as a 16-port managed switch, which is based on the Microchip® VSC7425, IEEE 802.3bt ready with power level up to 90W, and supports VLAN, QoS, and port-based PoE control. A live demo with QVR Pro will be presented to demonstrate a budget-friendly option for deploying a video surveillance solution with HDMI monitoring, advanced networking management, and PoE support.

hm.... a managed switch with POE port capability ... affordable? sounds interesting :'

my impression of it, when i think of a managed switch, i do not associate that being integrated with NAS functionality directly on it. I would love to see the upcoming reviews when they come to explain this type of device :'

2bay NAS + 16 ports managed switch + POE all in one = how much :'


this video illustrates how you would go about using the POE switch for setting up IP cams

With IEEE 802.3bt, PoE Meets the Smart Building and IoT
After its release as an IEEE standard in 2003, Power over Ethernet (PoE) has continued its upward spiral in performance, demonstrating an ability to transfer Ethernet data at faster speeds and dc power at higher levels—all in a single eight-wire bundle. And every enhancement to the standard adds to its popularity, so much so that most analysts project global revenue from PoE power-sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered devices (PDs) will reach at least $3 billion in 2025 from less than $1 billion today. To meet the challenge of the latest PoE standard, PSE equipment and the PDs themselves will need controllers capable of handling it.

When PoE emerged in 2003 as the IEEE 802.3af standard, only 13 W at 350 mA could be transferred over a distance of 100 m, which was sufficient for powering some VoIP systems, CCTV cameras, and RFID along with other types access control. However, devices such as videoconferencing, Wi-Fi routers, pan-tilt-zoom or heated cameras, and door interlock systems draw more current, so they were beyond the means of 802.3af to power them.

In 2009, the IEEE 802.3at enhancement was ratified, which increased power to 25.5 W at 600 mA, solving the problem for some of these systems. However, others were still tethered to the 120-V ac mains. The next version, 802.3bt, brings maximum power to about 90 W, which accommodates many more types of devices, including even cellular small-cell base stations. It should be ratified before the end of the year.

In addition, since PoE was first standardized, almost all electronic systems have become far more efficient, further adding to the list of potential PoE candidates. Thus, thanks to the increased power delivery of PoE combined with more efficient devices in general, 802.3bt should significantly boost PoE’s popularity in the future.

https://www.bnext.com.tw/article/51844/qumagie




out of all the CES 2019 QNAP announcements, i would say i am most anticipating this new next gen photo station (because this is my most favorite app for the qnap as i'm a aficionado of digital art). I'm going to test the heck out of it once it becomes available :D

though tbh, i'm not sure i'm liking the branding qumagie. but as long as it works and looks great, it's a small quibble to me :lol:


my expectations for this new gen photostation... replacement? would be the following
- a working and flawless AI smart tagging (people... objects?)
- a simplified website gallery for online access (i'm not asking for the removal of the existing gallery, but it does make sense to have an alternative layout that is simple and popular in demand. an example layout would be Lychee)
Image

- to be more eco friendly, maybe alternate themes (to choose from) like a dark version. i'm addicted to bright and light toned themes, but they aren't exactly good for the environment or electricity bills.

beyond that... hm.... i guess if they can modernize the UI (although it's quite decent already) and make it more responsive, that would be excellent.

anyways seems like QTS 4.4.x is not simply going to be a kernel update. QuMagie is also a big addition as part of that, based on the announcement here. Also for the new HD station, which oddly does not get a mention.

multimedia console = appcenter? is that getting a remake as well? and so does that mean that is part of a new qts? is it 4.4.x ? :'
New Multimedia Console to Improve how your Data Integrates across your QNAP NAS
The Multimedia Console consolidates all the multimedia applications in QTS into one app, allowing administrators to centrally manage multimedia apps and their permission settings.

https://nascompares.com/2019/01/08/qnap ... -ces-2019/


or is that a separate thing from appcenter, that is a unified window tab (kinda like how they made the notification center module for managing notifications) that is more specific to only configuring permission rights for the apps?

plex also made a showing at CES 2019
Plex media server was at the CES and many NAS companies are positioning themselves as the best product to use for centralized home media access. Synology, QNAP, Thecus, WD, Drobo and many other companies are seeking to be the go-to NAS storage for Plex.

Plex plans to offer ad-supported movies and more premium subscriptions
As Plex expanded beyond organizing personal media collections to offer access other media – like podcasts, news, and web series, for example – it built out its ad tech platform, too. Today, Plex serves ads in its streaming news and web series, and is now capable of doing so for ad-supported movies.

“We have the ad integration that we didn’t have before. That wasn’t there a year and a half ago,” Olechowski pointed out.

“I think, from a commerce perspective, we’ll have ad-supported, we’ll have free obviously, and we’ll have subscriptions. And I think we would like this year to launch transaction [capabilities] as well, just as an option for certain types of content,” he said.

Plex isn’t ready to launch these new offerings yet, to be clear. It needs to work on the DRM portion and the transactional components for one-off purchases before it’s able to finalize deals with content providers or launch features for the Plex user base.

However, that could be coming as soon as this year, Plex believes.

“We have a bunch of conversations that make it potentially possible in 2019,” Olechowski said.

Beyond the technical considerations, there are also larger issues Plex needs to figure out before these products would launch to users – like which deals make sense for Plex, how will the offerings be bundled together, how the economics will work, and more.

“Now, it’s really a question of what’s the right order of battle, given the conversations we’re having with content providers who are all super excited about getting content into Plex,” added Plex CEO Keith Valory. “We can’t do it all at once,” he said.

While Plex doesn’t have deals to announce at this time, it’s confident it will get them done.

“The market is heading in this direction,” said Valory. “People realize there are too many services, too many silos. There’s just too much. It’s just madness. So if there’s a way to get in front of these users – and do it in a way that they love it – they want to be part of that,” he said.

and seeing that you may be plugging a monitor into the QNAP (with a nvidia gpu installed), you may as well know about Nvidia gsync now kinda supporting some freesync certified monitors
NVIDIA Demonstrates Issues with Non-Validated FreeSync Monitors at CES 2019
At CES 2019, NVIDIA announced that it was going to support Adaptive Sync monitors that passed its certification process. [uOut of over 400 monitors tested, only 12 were deemed "G-SYNC Compatible.][/u]" NVIDIA has created a display at CES 2019 to highlight issues that non-validated FreeSync monitors may exhibit. Gordon Mah Ung of PCWorld went by the display and documented some of the issues that NVIDIA was concerned about.

Nvidia says that not all FreeSync monitors are created equal -- in fact only 12 out of more than 400 are certified to be G-Sync-compatible. Gordon checks out some examples of FreeSync monitors that don't stack up.

Seagate unveils new NAS-oriented SSD
Image

Data storage company Seagate has introduced a new series of SSD disks at CES 2019 aimed at enterprise users.

With capacities ranging from 240GB to 3.84TB, the new IronWolf 110 SATA SSD series, which should be available later in January, come with DuraWrite technology.

This technology ‘helps accelerate reads and writes, extend the life of the flash and provide up to 7000 TBW on the 3.84TB capacity drive,’ according to the company press release.

i already posted the details here

Toshiba unveils new 16TB enterprise capacity HDD
Japanese electronics giant Toshiba has announced new hard disk drives. They’re called the MG08 Series and are, according to Toshiba, the industry’s largest capacity 16TB Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) HDD. Seagate and WDC, the two other big hard drive vendors are betting on HAMR and MAMR technologies respectively.

The MG0 has a third more capacity than today’s 12TB drives, and 14 percent more capacity than earlier models. The hard disks are compatible with most apps and operating systems and are adapted to mixed random and sequential read and write workloads both in the cloud and on premises.

The disks offer a 7,200 rpm spinning and 550TB per year workload rating. Then, there are also 2.5 million-hour MTBF, 512Mib cache buffer and an option to go for either SATA or SAS interface. The form factor is industry-standard 3.5-inch.

Toshiba believes these new disks will help mitigate the effects of enormous data expansion that we’ve been witnessing in the past couple of years. The disks aim to help cloud-scale service providers and storage solutions designers to achieve ‘higher storage densities for cloud, hybrid-cloud and on-premises rack-scale storage’.

Western Digital Demonstrates 4TB USB-C Thumb Drive Prototype at CES 2019
Image
At CES 2019, Western Digital is demonstrating a prototype of a 4TB thumb drive with a Type-C interface. To be more precise, the form factor is that of a thumb drive, but the Type-C connector currently hangs off a wire. Given that it is a prototype, and has little chance of hitting the market at reasonable price points in the imminent future, this is expected. The main intent is to showcase the technological prowess of SanDisk's flash solutions. As expected, the prototype carries the SanDisk branding.

QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P uses Intel J4105 according to spec sheet that accompanied unit at CES.

QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P – 2Bay NAS with Integrated 16-port Managed PoE Switch
With CES 2019 Starting in Las Vegas, we are already seeing another of the biggest NAS brands sharing information on their latest releases for 2019. On brand I always keen a keep eye on during this period is QNAP NAS. Over the years we have seen some great hardware announced at this trade show, almost always released later that same year (exceptions such as the TGX-150, of course, will persist). CES 2019 is proving to continue this trend, as QNAP have announced some new hardware AND software featuring on their NAS drive range. In this post, I want to talk about the odd/amazon sounding new QGD-1600P NAS+POE Switch Guardian hybrid device they have announced – it sounds amazon/weird! Take a look.


What makes the QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P so unique?
Although at this time we do not have an image (I will update as and when I do) this new QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P NAS switch-based hardware is designed to combine the features and functionality of a managed PoE switch for optimizing your network, as well as the storage, media, RAID and application support of a mid-range NAS (Plex, containers, Surveillance, Backups, DLNA, etc). QNAP is revealing this device to promote their QVR Pro surveillance platform alongside HDMI out to push its use as a standalone KVM Surveillance station. Below is everything we know so far:

-Intel J3455 QuadCore 1.5Ghz – 2.5Ghz CPU
-2 SSD Bays (SATA 6Gbs 2.5”)
-1x HDMI Port for HD Station (Plex, Kodi Unofficially, Surveillance and more)
-2x PCIe Slots for 10Gbe, Cache Upgrades and more
-Internally managed 16LAN ports for switch use
-Power over Ethernet (PoE) upto 90W
-Microchip® VSC7425 Network controller supporting IEEE 802.3bt
-VLAN, QoS, and port-based PoE Control

looking at the picture from ces in the specifications, you are right.

i copied pasted from rob's nascompare site :S
https://nascompares.com/2019/01/08/bran ... -ces-2019/

but the qnap quote does state the correct spec
Here is the official QNAP Press Statement from CES 2019:

QNAP boosts networking efforts to roll out a refreshed Guardian QGD-1600P that integrates NAS, managed switch, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities into one device. The QGD-1600P features an Intel® Celeron® J4105 processor, two 2.5-inch SATA drive bays, two PCIe slots, and one HDMI output; runs the QTS operating system with the App Center to realize various applications including virtual machines, containerized apps, and video surveillance; and also acts as a 16-port managed switch, which is based on the Microchip® VSC7425, IEEE 802.3bt ready with power level up to 90W, and supports VLAN, QoS, and port-based PoE control. A live demo with QVR Pro will be presented to demonstrate a budget-friendly option for deploying a video surveillance solution with HDMI monitoring, advanced networking management, and PoE support.
updated the correction thx :mrgreen:
