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 good book but...(update, formatting fixed)
Format: Kindle
A good book but the code in the Kindle edition is very badly formatted. The downloaded source code seems correct. Update formatting issue seems to have been fixed.

Good for basic x86 64 but avx coverage is horrible.
Format: Paperback
After having read Irvine 7th I had a good knowledge of x32 but soon enough I realized it’s all obsolete so now it’s on to Hyde 64. The hello world program involves interfacing to c++ and assembly/linking with batch commands. Really? I’m using visual studio ide have you heard of build and run? Hyde doesn’t even mention the debugger and without this tool assembly language is impossible. But I was already familiar with this after reading Irvine so I was ok. The following chapters 2 to 9 about 600 pages worth are great so for what I paid the book is 4 stars. Great explanation, lots of complete programs. Now it’s time for parallel processing via Simd and avx and this is chapter 11, over 100 pages of instructions with no examples. It could be useful for reference but actually, no. Amidst all the formats, memory operand and register sizes the actual explanations of the instructions are vague. Well that defeats the purpose of thumbing this chapter as a reference doesn’t it? But where Hyde fails Kusswurm modern x86 begins. If you’ve made it this far sell Hyde, Irvine, and buy Kusswurm. Then you’ll have Jedi powers like me.

It benefits the high-level language programmers - Listing formatting good now
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Even if not writing assembly code directly, it benefits the high-level language programmer to understand the CPU architecture and instruction set. You can help the compiler do a better job by writing your code with the hardware in mind. When it comes to debugging, it can be helpful to look at things at the assembly level. And if you are programming with SIMD intrinsics, you are still programming in assembly language and understanding the architecture is necessary. This book gets you up to speed with all the above and more. Also, the listing formatting problem that others have mentioned seems to have been fixed. I deleted the months old download from my device, downloaded again, and the listing were now good. Tested on an iPad, a Kindle Paperwhite, and a MacBook Pro.
