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 feature 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 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.

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.
