Introduction
The TS-x
51
Series is the world's first consumer-grade NAS that supports Intel VT-x and virtual machine
applications. Just download the Virtualization Station App from App Center, and you can install & operate
multiple operating systems with Windows, Linux, and UNIX. The virtual machines can be used in a variety of
different ways to boost the functionality of your Turbo NAS.
Virtualization technology is normally solely used in enterprise environments, but with the growing needs of a
digital household, virtualization is slowly becoming part of our everyday applications. Many households have
printers, and when users want to print out the photos stored on their Turbo NAS, but have a printer with Windows-
only drivers, they would need to startup their PC just for this simple task.
With the Virtualization Station, you can install these drivers on a Windows-based virtual machine, allowing you to
easily print out documents & photos stored on the Turbo NAS.
