Run multiple virtual machines on NAS and appliances

Virtualization Station is a fast and reliable hypervisor on QNAP NAS and appliances. You can run multiple virtual machines on Virtualization Station to meet versatile virtualization needs and to benefit from cost savings and advanced features.

What is Virtualization Station?

Virtualization Station is a powerful hypervisor on your QNAP appliances that allows you to build a cost-effective virtualization environment. Virtualization Station supports many operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and QuTScloud. Based on available system resources, you can set up and run several virtual machines. It also supports many resource management and acceleration functions, providing an affordable virtualization platform with superb performance.

Virtualization Station supports many operating systems

On your QNAP NAS and appliances, you can run multiple virtual machines with Windows, Linux, and QuTScloud operating systems. You can also download and instantly use virtual appliances from VM Marketplace.

Virtualization Station 4.0

VM data visibility

View running VMs and the live data of the Top 5 resource-consuming VMs of CPU, memory, network, and storage. Daily resource use can also be monitored.

VM protection plans

VM backup and Snapshot management is combined. One-time backup scheduling and customized scheduling between a week or a month are available.

VM sharing management

The information of VM sharing links and exported file paths is automatically recorded and listed.

Flexibly manage resources to increase virtual machine usability

Several resource allocation settings are available within Virtualization Station. Use them as needed to keep virtual machines running at optimal efficiency and reliability.

Live Migration

Move your virtual machines between QNAP NAS - even when they are running. It is useful for load balancing, as well as migrating VMs to a secondary NAS before servicing the primary NAS.

Dynamic Memory Allocation

With Memory Ballooning, Virtualization Station will request that VMs release memory resources when the overall memory usage is high. These resources can then be reassigned to other VMs and/or the hypervisor to provide performance improvements.

Memory Sharing

Kernel Same-page Merging (KSM) is a memory deduplication feature that allows different VMs to share the same memory page, enhancing overall memory utilization.

CPU Hot Add

CPU Hot Add allows users to dynamically add CPU resources to active VMs, instantly boosting VM performance and providing improved service quality and user experiences.
