QNAP

From a two-bay box for family photos to a scale-out rack for a data center, QNAP builds network attached storage at nearly every size. The company says it was founded in Taiwan in 2004, launched its first NAS, the TS-101, in 2006, and listed publicly in Taiwan in 2025. Its site claims more than 1,000 employees worldwide, over 400 of them research and development engineers.

Guardians of Data Security

QNAP's home page leads with the line Guardians of Data Security and says its products are built for defense from the first line of code. Its brand pages describe a secure development lifecycle with threat modelling and code scanning, supply chain checks, manufacturing in company-owned facilities certified to ISO 9001, secure-by-default settings and a product security team. It lists certifications including ISO/IEC 27001 and IEC 62443-4-1, and says it is a CVE numbering authority and a member of FIRST.

From enterprise storage to home creators

The product navigation groups storage into enterprise, business, creators and home users, expansion units and cloud storage. Enterprise lines run from dual-controller and all-flash models to hybrid HDD and SSD systems, scale-out systems and an edge AI storage server. Networking and surveillance products sit beside them, and the company also runs a cloud platform, myQNAPcloud, plus an app center and the QTS operating system family. A timeline records 10GbE NAS in 2011, a ZFS file system in 2016 and its first 10GbE switch in 2018.

Offices around the world

The history page notes a US headquarters in Pomona, California, opened in 2009, and a European headquarters near Düsseldorf, Germany, opened in 2022. It lists 18 subsidiaries and regional offices, including London, Toronto, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney and Bengaluru.
