Auto Mesh Multi-site VPN
Accelerate large-scale VPN deployment via SD-WAN
When a business expands into remote working and distributed workforce 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. The QHora-301W uses QuWAN (QNAP’s SD-WAN technology) that automatically deploys connected WAN services and VPN sites through software-defined networking to achieve optimal 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.
Deploy flexible Mesh VPN topology with multiple QHora-301W
Deploying multiple QHora-301W at different sites enables not only high-speed wired and wireless networking, but also interconnected Mesh VPN topology via SD-WAN. In homes, the QHora-301W as an Edge device offers home Wi-Fi and VPN connection to companies, allowing home workers to get the best of both worlds.
Intelligent WAN Optimization
The QHora-301W prioritizes the stability of your Mesh VPN. QuWAN features intelligent WAN optimization to ensure transmission stability of the two 10GbE ports and four Gigabit ports.
One 10GbE port and two Gigabit ports can be flexibly connected to LAN or WAN.
Please make sure you’ve connected QHora-301W to QuWAN to enable WAN Optimization functions.
WAN Aggregation
Combine the bandwidth of different ISPs to optimize WAN connection speeds and performance.
Application-based Routing & QoS
Application-based Routing auto-detects end-user applications to select the fastest routing path, and QoS reserves bandwidth utilization for high-priority tasks.
Centralized QuWAN Orchestrator for efficient Cloud management
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. Connected to QHora-301W via wired or wireless connections, client devices can easily access the SD-WAN network.
Deploy a multi-site VPN with the subscription-free QuWAN solution
QuWAN can be installed on QNAP NAS, QGD switches and QuCPE servers*. When co-working with the QVPN App, remote workers can be easily connected to SSL VPN via their computer or mobile device. Whether scaling up to accommodate worldwide offices or simply to different departments in the same building, devices in different locations are flexibly segmented to be connected with each other in a micro-segmented network.
