With SD-WAN enabled, the Gigabit ports not only support intelligent WAN optimization (including aggregation, failover, load balancing and flexible static routing) but also optimizes 10GbE LAN transmission.
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.
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.
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.
Note:
WAN Aggregation
Combine the bandwidth of different ISPs to optimize WAN connection speeds and performance.
Application-based Routing
