Rich built-in apps. Shorter development time.

QNAP NAS not only has "product strength" but also delivers "platform strength". Its app-oriented ecosystem provides versatile built-in apps, including user management, access right controls, system notification, data backup, security surveillance, and more. Developers and system integrators can flexibly leverage and integrate these resources to create a complete user experience while also reducing development time.

Not only on-premises but also on the cloud!

In addition to a physical QNAP NAS, the QuTScloud Cloud NAS also features the built-in App Center to expand application potential.
