JBOD (Virtual Just a Bunch of Disks) is a capacity expansion technology that allows surplus storage resources of a QNAP NAS to be used to expand the storage space of another QNAP NAS, enabling you not only to create virtual storage pools and volumes on your local NAS but also to achieve the highest storage utilization of the multiple QNAP NAS in your environment.

When I have multiple QNAP NAS units, or when I need to expand capacity on-demand, how do I achieve the best utilization of NAS storage? With VJBOD users have a high degree of flexibility and expand-on-demand capabilities that brings several benefits and practicalities - especially for the storage architecture of small and medium-sized business. Use QNAP VJBOD to instantly allocate storage space from another QNAP NAS as an iSCSI LUN. Then use the iSCSI LUN to create storage pools, take snapshots, make a clone from snapshots or index multimedia files into the media library on the local NAS.

VJBOD allows one QNAP NAS to utilize the massive potential storage of up to 8 remote NAS, and at the same time use QNAP expansion enclosures. With the expansion availability of physical units and VJBOD, you can attain the highest possible storage utilization to fulfil your needs in storage and backup for huge data.

Featuring the missing mode protection of locally-attached JBOD expansions, VJBOD employs an advanced mechanism for handling disconnections. If the remote NAS experiences a power outage, disconnection, or change in IP address, you will receive warnings via event notifications in QTS. The NAS will also automatically attempt to reconnect and recover the VJBOD storage.

No complicated commands or procedures are required to set up Virtual JBOD. Just follow the "Create Virtual Disk" wizard to search for the remote NAS, check the available capacity, and add the space as a virtual disk on your local drive. Then you can freely utilize and manage this virtual disk in Storage Manager, enabling you to enjoy both flexibility and greater storage utilization.
