Build a multi-site network infrastructure for SMBs and Micro-enterprises

QNAP’s high-performance QuCPE integrates the QuWAN SD-WAN solution, AMIZ Cloud platform, and WireGuard VPN. Small businesses and micro-enterprises can flexibly build multi-site network infrastructure by deploying a QuCPE Series 7 in their headquarters, and QuCPE Series 3 in their branches and workplaces.

The QNE Network Operating System completes the virtual network infrastructure

QNAP’s proprietary QNE Network operating system supports the intuitive Network Service Composer and Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN), allowing for flexible network deployment and multi-site network infrastructure expansion. By supporting Virtual Network Functions (VNF), Virtual Machines and Containers, QNE Network integrates network, computing and application services to realize network virtualization, application virtualization and efficient management, greatly lowering management and maintenance complexity.

AMIZ Cloud - powerful centralized VM management platform

The AMIZ Cloud centralized management platform enables IT administrator at HQ to centrally monitor all edge devices, virtual machines and containers. Supporting troubleshooting, and remote management via the Account Center, the QuCPE-7012 helps enterprises achieve Zero Touch Provisioning, thus enhancing IT deployment efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

Efficient management via Service Composer with visualized topology

With the visualized topology of the Network Service Composer, you can easily set up VNFs or VMs, create virtual switches , and allocate physical network resources for chained services by drag and drop. When settings change, you can directly add/remove individual VNFs using the service composer, greatly simplifying operational network combination.

Intel hardware acceleration technologies boost virtual network performance

Specifically designed for running virtualization applications, the QuCPE-7012 Network Virtualization Premise Equipment adopts multiple Intel hardware acceleration technologies to allow direct hardware access, thus enhancing VM and virtual network transmission performance.

Note: Only QuCPE-7012-D2166NT-64G and QuCPE-7012-D2146NT-32G support Intel® QAT.

• DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit)

  Allows data to bypass the OS Kernel and directly enter user space to offer a double packet transmission rate (Total T/R x L2) and improve overall virtualization application performance.

• Smart NIC SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization)

  By installing an SR-IOV compatible PCIe SmartNIC, you can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs. With traffic bypassing the Hypervisor vSwitch, it helps enhance I/O throughout and network efficiency, ensuring reliable VM applications and reduced CPU overheads.

• Intel QAT (Intel QuickAssist Technology)

  Offloads computationally-intensive compression and improves IPSec cryptography VPN performance.

SD-WAN enables chaining network services

QNE incorporates QNAP’s QuWAN SD-WAN solution (subscription-free) to form encrypted VPN tunnels with other QNAP devices based in multiple sites and achieve multi-site network services chaining. For example, you can automatically create a firewall network (using QuWAN and pfSense VNFs) to enhance WAN security in the Service Composer UI using drag-and-drop.

Smart IT tools for network management efficiency

QNE Network provides comprehensive management features for Smart IT network management.

• Notification Center

  Consolidates QTS system events and alerts, providing a single-app solution for notifications instead of having to configure individual settings in multiple apps. Notifications can be sent through email, SMS, and other communication apps.

• QuLog Center

  Centralizes statistical rankings of error/warning events and access, assisting IT staff in monitoring and responding to potential system risks.

• Security Center

  Provides security management for IT staff, including managing SSL certificates. Other features include automatically detecting history edits to prevent malicious edits.

• Zabbix

  Zabbix is a third-party solution that automatically detects devices and monitors network status. Zabbix provides user-friendly topology and network reporting, suitable for enterprise network management.

Supports third Party Virtual Network Functions

The Application Store and VM Marketplace provide multiple free and premium VNF and applications that users can install on demand.

• 

  Firewall Software

  Virtual firewall software (like pfSense) help enterprises separate or protect local networks and apply multiple security policies.

  Virtual Router

  The QuCPE-7012 can be transformed into a security router by installing RouterOS or OpenWrt. You can also create site-to-site VPN tunnels between headquarters and branch offices while securing enterprise network data transmission.

Notes

QuCPE QNE Network allocates the full capacity of the 2.5-inch drives to be an Application Volume. VM, Container and vDisk data is stored in the Application Volume by default. If two identical 2.5-inch drives are installed in the QuCPE-7012, they will be configured as RAID 1 by default in QNE Network Edition. All the storage management features in the NAS QTS OS (such as creating storage pools for file storage and Snapshots) are not supported by QuCPE QNE Network Edition.
