Charbax | QNAP introduces myQNAPcloud Cloud Storage at Computex 2024, $60/TB/year, cheaper than AWS/Google @charbax | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
myQNAPcloud, a cloud service by QNAP, is designed for managing devices and data storage. Initially, myQNAPcloud allowed users to manage their devices in the cloud, but last year, QNAP expanded its offerings by launching myQNAPcloud Storage, their proprietary cloud storage service. This new service is noted for its cost-effectiveness, particularly when compared to major competitors like AWS and Google Cloud. For instance, storing one terabyte of data annually on AWS or Google Cloud could cost around $500, whereas myQNAPcloud Storage offers the same service for just $60 per year qnap.com/solution/myqnapcloud-storage/en
myQNAPcloud Storage is not intended to compete with AWS's Deep Archive or Glacier cold storage solutions. Instead, it aligns more closely with the AWS S3 standard storage. QNAP currently does not offer cold storage solutions. A significant advantage of myQNAPcloud Storage is that it does not incur any costs for uploading or downloading data, a stark contrast to many other cloud services that charge for data transmission.
Regarding redundancy and data safety, myQNAPcloud Storage operates with regional data storage options. Users can select regions such as Taiwan or the US for their data storage, but if they need redundancy across these regions, they must purchase separate plans for each. Typically, data stored in one region is kept as a single copy, meaning there isn't an automatic redundancy unless specified and paid for.
All QNAP NAS devices are compatible with myQNAPcloud Storage. Users can utilize applications like HBS (Hybrid Backup Sync) or Hybrid Mount to seamlessly back up or mount their NAS data to myQNAPcloud Storage. This integration ensures that QNAP NAS users can easily extend their data storage to the cloud without additional complications, providing a straightforward and cost-effective backup solution.
Looking forward, QNAP is exploring the possibility of offering cold storage solutions, aiming to provide more cost-effective alternatives to AWS and Google. Additionally, they are introducing a new feature called Personal Vault, a client-side encryption function. This feature will allow users to encrypt their data before uploading it to the cloud, ensuring that only the user has access to the encryption key. However, it's crucial for users to securely store their encryption keys, as losing them means that even QNAP cannot retrieve the encrypted data.
QNAP also offers another cloud service called AMIZ Cloud. This service aids in managing devices through the AMIZ Cloud portal. With AMIZ Cloud, users can manage all their QNAP NAS, QCP, and QSW devices in one centralized location. The portal provides detailed hardware information for each device, enhancing the ease of management and monitoring.
The myQNAPcloud Storage service has evolved from simply managing devices to managing data as well. Users can now upload data from their NAS to the cloud and access it from anywhere, enhancing the flexibility and accessibility of their data. The service is designed to be user-friendly, with options to schedule upload times and control upload speeds, ensuring that data synchronization can be tailored to individual needs.
In summary, QNAP’s myQNAPcloud and myQNAPcloud Storage provide a robust, cost-effective cloud storage solution with added functionalities for device and data management. The integration with QNAP NAS devices, the introduction of Personal Vault for data encryption, and the development of AMIZ Cloud for comprehensive device management position QNAP as a competitive player in the cloud storage market. These advancements highlight QNAP's commitment to providing versatile and secure cloud services to its users.
