QuWAN
SD-WAN Solution for Resilient IT Infrastructure
QNAP’s QuWAN SD-WAN solution features Auto Mesh VPN, IPsec encryption, cloud-centric management and QVPN Service for multi-site network. Compatible with a wide range of QNAP products and Hypervisor Platforms such as VMware ESXi, QuWAN enables SMBs to efficiently build a dependable network at a cost-effective price, and to facilitate digital transformation, multi-site expansion and remote working.
In the remote work and multi-site business era, automatically mesh multi-site VPN with SD-WAN
When a business expands into remote working and multi-site operations, they face the challenge of VPN deployment efficiency and connection speed. Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) technology effectively solves these issues – without requiring expensive enterprise-grade VPN equipment. QNAP’s SD-WAN technology automatically deploys connected WAN services and VPN sites through software-defined networking to achieve optimum network bandwidth and transmission speeds. Not only does SD-WAN improve IT deployment and management efficiency for multi-site expansion, but it also provides reliable infrastructure to enable digital transformation and remote working.
-
Traditional VPN Infrastructure
With rapidly-growing demands for multi-site VPN, severe bandwidth bottlenecks are caused by the traditional headquarters-centered network infrastructure. Yet SMBs cannot afford enterprise-grade VPN equipment for multi-site VPN deployment.
-
QuWAN SD-WAN Infrastructure
QNAP SD-WAN technology, QuWAN, provides a full mesh VPN topology that works well in complicated networks where all peers need to communicate with each other, achieving cost-effective and resilient IT deployment.
QuWAN Solution: Highly Efficient, Economic and Secure
QuWAN helps lower IT equipment costs, IT manpower requirements, and saves time with six major advantages:
-
Auto Mesh VPN
Automatically establishes a mesh VPN and removes the need for manual static VPN settings. IPSec AES 256 encryption is also supported to ensure secure multi-site network deployment.
-
WAN Optimization
Adopts load balancing technologies for WAN Aggregation and QoS for combining bandwidth with different ISPs, prioritizing bandwidth utilization and network acceleration. QuWAN also provides failover by integrating Hybrid Multi WANs to ensure continuous connection quality.
-
Cloud Management
The QuWAN Orchestrator provides powerful and convenient central network management that enables headquarters-based staff to remotely manage edge network devices and VPN connections on mobile devices, thus achieving Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). The QuWAN Orchestrator also offers bandwidth monitoring, parameter settings, and is suited for multi-site, multinational WAN management and maintenance.
-
Cost Optimization
Optimizes fiber/network transmission to lower the cost of VPN equipment and bandwidth expenses. QuWAN’s compatibility with QNAP solutions enables SMBs build a resilient IT infrastructure at an affordable price.
-
Network Security
Adopts Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to analyze L7-Payloads for content information from websites and devices. You can blacklist specific applications by firewall functions to secure the enterprise network.
-
Web GUI
Provides user-friendly functionality, including a dashboard, eMap, and traffic analysis to make network deployment easier and more intuitive.
Auto Mesh VPN
In contrast to normal site-to-site VPN, QuWAN establishes an Auto Mesh VPN to free you from tedious manual static VPN route configuration. IPSec AES 256 encryption is also supported to deploy a secure multi-site network.
Deploy QVPN Server & QVPN Client via QuWAN Orchestrator
QuWAN 2.1 now supports deploying a QVPN Server on QNAP devices and QVPN Clients on mobile devices using a single Cloud platform. QuWAN Orchestrator helps IT administrators to easily set up QBelt VPN on mobile devices individually or via the cloud. VPN connection information can be sent to mobile devices to avoid device IP information leakage, thus achieving ZTP.
Note: QVPN Setting on QuWAN Orchestrator is only supported by NAS with QTS, QuTS hero OS, QuCPE with Network OS and VMware ESXi v7.0 server or platform with QuWAN vRouter Edition.. The QVPN settings on QHora, QMiro or QMiroPlus is supported by QuRouter OS.
Intelligent WAN Optimization
QuWAN adopts load balancing technologies (including WAN Aggregation and QoS) to combine the bandwidth of different ISPs and to prioritize bandwidth utilization for high-priority tasks through auto-detection of end-user applications. QuWAN also supports failover mechanisms through integrated Hybrid Multi WANs (such as ADSL of different ISPs) which automatically connects to other available services if there is a service disconnection.
Powerful centralized QuWAN Orchestrator
QuWAN Orchestrator is a powerful and convenient centralized network management cloud platform, enabling IT staff to remotely deploy and manage edge network devices. Its Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) allows IT staff to easily build a large-scale WAN remotely and without the assistance of personnel at each location. IT staff can also monitor bandwidth, set parameters, and analyze network traffic on a single platform – perfect for multi-site, multinational network management and maintenance. QuWAN also provides an at-a-glance Dashboard, user-friendly network topology GUI, eMap and traffic analysis report to simplify network deployment.
Deploy a global QuWAN network topology
QuWAN allows for the easy and flexible deployment of a global network topology for an enhanced multi-national working experience. You can create multiple regions inside the global domain, and the configured regional hubs will automatically form a Mesh VPN via Public IPs. Only the China domain with Internet restrictions needs to be connected to the global domain through an Inter-regional link.
Add your VMware ESXi platform and servers to QuWAN
QuWAN provides the virtual router with SD-WAN functionality (QuWAN vRouter Edition), allowing installation in VMware ESXi virtualization platform and servers to be connected to SD-WAN.
