QuCPE-3032
Overview
Features
QNAP’s QuCPE-3032 Network Virtualization Premise Equipment is a universal virtualization platform specifically designed for SMBs. The QuCPE-3032 adopts the high-performance Intel® Atom Refresh quad-core processor that supports Intel® QAT, Smart NIC SR-IOV and DPDK hardware acceleration technologies while also providing eight 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and two 10GbE SFP+ ports. With enhanced bandwidth and computing performance for running VNFs and connecting SD-WAN (Supporting VPN/WireGuard), the QuCPE-3032 is suitable for multi-user and multi-tasking business applications. The QuCPE-3032 also features the QNE (QNAP Network Equipment) OS for chaining VNF services and AMIZ Cloud centralized deployment and management platform to realize flexible Zero Touch Provisioning.
Network Function Virtualization
The QuCPE-3032 is powered by QNAP’s proprietary QNE operating system, providing convenient and intuitive Network Service Composer with the world’s first visualized VM / VNF service chaining topology.
Multi-site Network Infrastructure
The incorporated QuWAN SD-WAN solution helps achieve multi-site network infrastructure expansion.
Hardware Acceleration Technologies
Intel® QAT, Smart NIC SR-IOV and DPDK hardware acceleration technologies offer superior computing power for virtualization deployment and enhance SD-WAN and VPN transmission efficiency.
Cloud Management
AMIZ Cloud is a centralized management platform that enables HQ-based IT staff to centrally monitor all edge devices, virtual machines, and containers. The QuCPE-3032 helps enterprises achieve Zero Touch Provisioning to enhance IT deployment efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.
Installation-On-Demand
The Application Store is a software platform providing various Virtualized Network Functions (VNF) and applications including firewalls and software routers.
WireGuard VPN
Supports WireGuard VPN to offer privacy protection and advanced encrypted security transmission for faster and stable remote working networks.
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.
Easily deploy virtual network environments with the 2-in-1 Premise Equipment
When deploying virtualized environments, Enterprises often choose to install costly enterprise-grade solutions on edge servers or free solutions with limited technical support – a hard decision for resource-constricted SMBs. In addition, simultaneously running multiple VMs can impact network performance. QNAP’s QuCPE Network Virtualization Premise Equipment combines hardware acceleration technologies, QNAP’s proprietary QNE Network operating system and the AMIZ Cloud centralized management platform to help SMBs build a highly-optimized virtual network infrastructure.
The QNE Network Operating System completes your 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.

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.

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.

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-3032, they will be configured as RAID 1 by default in QNE Network Edition. All the storage management features in the QTS OS (such as creating storage pools for file storage and Snapshots) are not supported by QuCPE QNE Network Edition.
