Experience enterprise-grade data storage built for mission-critical workloads. The ES1686DC-2142IT-96G from QNAP combines a next-generation ZFS NAS with robust SAN capabilities, dual active controllers, and scalable DDR4 ECC memory to deliver unparalleled reliability, performance, and data protection. Designed for data centers, large offices, and IT environments that demand near-zero downtime, this system consolidates file and block storage into a single, highly available platform. With ZFS at its core, administrators gain end-to-end data integrity, powerful snapshot and replication options, and flexible capacity management that scales with growing workloads. Whether your team needs fast virtualization storage, dependable backups, or a resilient disaster recovery solution, the ES1686DC-2142IT-96G is engineered to keep your data accessible, secure, and compliant under demanding conditions.

From streaming analytics to database-backed applications, the ES1686DC-2142IT-96G is tuned for dense I/O and sustained throughput. The dual active controllers provide redundancy and seamless failover, so services stay online even during maintenance or component failures. The combination of Intel Xeon D processors and expansive ECC memory ensures consistent performance under multi-user access, virtualization workloads, and large-scale data operations. ZFS brings built-in data integrity with checksums, automatic repairs, and flexible data services such as snapshots, clones, compression, and deduplication options that help maximize usable capacity. In short, this system is designed to protect your data while simplifying management and accelerating business outcomes.

  • Unmatched availability: dual active controllers and redundant components enable near-zero downtime, automatic failover, and reliable service continuity during maintenance or hardware faults.
  • Powerful, scalable performance: Intel Xeon D processors handle virtualization, databases, and multi-user workloads with strong multi-threaded efficiency for predictable response times and high IOPS.
  • ZFS-driven data protection: end-to-end checksums, instant snapshots, clones, and configurable compression deliver robust data integrity and efficient storage utilization for diverse workloads.
  • Flexible storage architecture: SAS 12Gb/s backend connectivity supports high-speed data movement, scalable pools, and efficient expansion to accommodate growing datasets and performance needs.
  • SAN/NAS convergence for modern IT: unified management of block and file storage, seamless integration with virtualization platforms, and streamlined backup/DR workflows in a single, enterprise-grade system.

A beautiful and meaningful book!

I absolutely love this book! The illustrations are gorgeous, and the book does such a great job helping kids understand their feelings and how to handle them.

I love this book!
Format: Hardcover
I really love this book and the beautiful whimsical illustrations. I love the way it identifies and affirms each emotion we/our children/grandchildren have - all the while turning us (and them) to faith in Jesus and God's constant loving care. I have bought it for my grandkids and am so glad to give this to them as a tool to help them understand things they are feeling and be able to express those feelings appropriately and know they are never alone!

This is a Wonderful Book! I bought this book for our 4 grandkids, and when I gave it to my daughter in law she said the timing was perfect!!! It's full of beautiful pictures and every page rhymes to engage with your children. I highly recommend this book for Christmas, or a gift for any occasion. I've told many moms of young children to get this book. Thank you Debra for thinking of our children's needs too! (grandkids ages 8, 6, 5 and newborn)

Sweet, faith-filled, timely
Format: Hardcover
I preordered Any Day Emotions and couldn’t wait for it to arrive. My baby is only seven weeks old, but I already love reading it to him. I know it’s a book we’ll return to as he grows and starts to understand his emotions. Debra Fileta beautifully weaves together emotional health and faith. The page about feeling hopeful especially touched me—it’s such a gentle reminder that God’s care is constant, any day and every day.
