QNAP Systems, Inc. will participate in COMPUTEX 2026, showcasing its latest innovations at booth J1209a, located in TaiNEX 1 Pavilion. Under the theme “Ready and Recovery,” the company will present a comprehensive tech ecosystem designed to help businesses tackle some of their most pressing challenges today, including data sovereignty, efficient AI integration, and strengthening cyber resilience.
QNAP President, Meiji Chang, emphasized that the evolution of technological infrastructure involves combining data protection with local AI capabilities. He noted that the company’s proposal for COMPUTEX 2026 goes beyond high-performance storage solutions, focusing on environments prepared for AI and capable of autonomously enhancing organizational security.
According to Chang, this approach will enable companies to respond more quickly and confidently to an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape, while also optimizing data management and utilization.
From Backup to Confidence in Recovery: Strengthening Business Continuity with HDP for Business
QNAP advances the traditional concept of backup toward verified recovery with the launch of HDP for Business. This software-defined platform centralizes protection across Windows®, VMware®, Hyper-V®, Proxmox® VE, and Microsoft® 365. Based on the 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule, the solution includes an Immutable Backup to defend against ransomware and Airgap+ technology to physically isolate backup nodes. To ensure reliable recovery, Video Verification automatically validates integrity by recording VM boot processes, enabling operations to be restored within minutes.
To achieve enterprise-grade resilience, QNAP’s MEGA Scale-out solution provides elastic capacity for modern Data Lakes and eliminates single points of failure through its distributed architecture. The company will also present its latest models of Dual Active-Active Controller NAS, designed for zero-latency failover. By integrating high availability (HA) for two NAS units, VM high availability, and comprehensive Disaster Recovery (DR) plans, QNAP guarantees continuous redundancy and availability of critical data and services, with near-zero recovery times even in large-scale disasters.
To further optimize long-term TCO, QNAP introduces FileTiers, an auto-tiering solution that balances performance and costs without disrupting workflows. This technology dynamically migrates warm and cold data from high-performance SSDs to higher-capacity, lower-cost NAS or cloud storage. Especially suited for data-intensive sectors like media and healthcare, FileTiers maximizes infrastructure ROI while maintaining high operational resilience.
Edge AI NAS: Transforming Infrastructure into Intelligence
As organizations prioritize secure, localized intelligence, QNAP leads the shift with its new all-in-one Edge AI on-premises solutions, including compact AI NAS models with 8 and 6 bays, powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors. Combining high-performance computing with extensive storage capacity, these systems enable on-premises deployment of large language models (LLMs) while maintaining full data control. Designed for AI ecosystems, they significantly reduce MLOps complexity and allow SMEs to create private knowledge bases and automate workflows Agentic AI at a much lower TCO compared to cloud services. Moreover, by ensuring data sovereignty, QNAP addresses privacy needs in highly regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government.
Complementing this ecosystem, QuAgent functions as an AI-based conversational assistant, allowing administrators to manage NAS tasks through natural language commands. Additionally, Qsirch 7.1.0 offers AI-powered semantic search over documents and multimedia content, enabling instant content location and verification through relevant snippets without manual browsing. In multimedia workflows, automated transcription not only generates subtitles and scripts but also transforms audiovisual content into fully indexable and searchable data. This powerful integration of private AI hardware and intuitive management software ensures data is not just stored but converted into a secure, competitive asset.
Security-by-Design: Proactive NDR and Network Resilience
QNAP is advancing the convergence of storage and cybersecurity by being among the first manufacturers to embed NDR (Network Detection and Response) capabilities directly into NAS infrastructure via ADRA NDR X. This integration addresses a major industry blind spot: lateral threat movement within local networks, often overlooked by traditional perimeter defenses. By analyzing internal traffic for behavioral anomalies, ADRA NDR X enables detection and interception of AI-driven threats and ransomware at their source.
This multilayer defense strategy is further strengthened with built-in IPS in QNAP routers, which filters incoming threats, and QuWAN SD-WAN, which secures inter-site communications with encrypted tunnels.
Intelligent Video Surveillance Powered by AI: High-Performance Security Ecosystem
QNAP also enhances monitoring experiences through AI-based smart assistants using VLM and new MCP management features, transforming surveillance recordings into conversational and actionable insights. Integrating AI Agents, QVR Client enables executing complex tasks—such as incident recovery or PTZ patrols—via natural language commands. Beyond automation, these agents interpret visual context to assist security teams in making faster, better-informed decisions.
This intelligence relies on a robust infrastructure built on QVR Surveillance solutions and QVR Recording Vault, an active backup solution that requires no licenses and simplifies large deployments while ensuring continuous availability of surveillance assets. For handling large volumes of data, QNAP’s scale-out storage solutions offer high-speed, reliable archiving compliant with regulatory standards. Maintaining an open architecture, QNAP ensures seamless interoperability with Nx Witness™ VMS, enabling a fully integrated, security-specific surveillance ecosystem.
Professional, Low-Latency Multimedia Environment: AV over IP, Thunderbolt™ NAS, and High-Speed Networking
In modern media production, low latency infrastructure is essential for efficient high-resolution content distribution. To meet this need, QNAP provides managed AV over IP switches supporting PTP (Precision Time Protocol), delivering microsecond-level synchronization ideal for videowalls and large AV setups.
Complementing this network agility, QNAP introduces the Thunderbolt™ 5 NAS alongside a full Thunderbolt™ 4 ecosystem, aimed at creative professionals and post-production studios. This high-bandwidth architecture supports real-time editing of 4K and 8K content, combining cutting-edge connectivity with a robust, stable network infrastructure. This integration ensures a professional-grade multimedia environment that meets industry demands for speed and stability.
