Multi-version snapshots mitigate ransomware threats
The TS-453E supports block-based snapshots that record the state of the system at any time. It helps protect data, which can be restored back to a specific point of time, greatly helping in mitigating the threat of ransomware.


Volume and LUN snapshots
Take snapshots in seconds and revert the entire volume/LUN back to a specific point in time to prevent loss of important data.


Instantly restore snapshots
Snapshot content can be quickly restored to a local NAS, or restored on a folder/file basis to a local/remote NAS or cloud storage. You can also conveniently view and restore snapshots from the client side.


Back up snapshots
Multiply data protection by backing up snapshot files! Replicate volume/LUN snapshots in the TS-453E to a remote NAS (Snapshot Replica) by copying only the changes made. This helps save time & bandwidth, and can be run manually or on a scheduled basis.


All-in-one solution for hosting virtual machines and containers
By running multiple virtual machines and containers on the TS-453E, you can deploy multi-tenant environments and applications to increase management efficiency and save hardware costs.
