Run a virtual router on your Hypervisor platform and connect to a SD-WAN VPN

QuWAN vRouter Edition is a virtual router solution that supports Hypervisor Platforms such as VMware ESXi. It features SD-WAN functions of Auto Mesh VPN, IPsec encryption and cloud-centric management and QVPN Service for multi-site network. Compatible with a wide range of QNAP products or Hypervisor platforms supporting the QuWAN SD-WAN solution, QuWAN vRouter enables businesses and organizations to build a secure remote multi-site VPN 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.

Add your VMware ESXi platform and servers to SD-WAN

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. Besides Auto Mesh VPN, firewall, WAN optimization and Cloud management, QuWAN vRouter Edition also enables network traffic analysis and control over the Virtual Machines on VMware ESXi platforms. QuWAN vRouter Edition offers a flexible and affordable annual subscription solutions, from basic 15Mbps solution for free to 30MBps or up to 1Gbps solutions starting from $7.99 based on needs.

Build a resilient IT infrastructure for all usage scenarios

QuWAN vRouter consists of a cloud-based management platform (QuWAN Orchestrator) and a VM App for virtualization platforms or devices. Adopting Auto Mesh VPN, WAN optimization technology and IPsec encryption, QuWAN vRouter supports VMware ESXi virtualization platform and servers. QuWAN vRouter Edition also enables third-party virtualization platforms and servers to be connected to SD-WAN with a wide range of QuWAN solutions based QNAP’s products (including the QuCPE Network Virtualization Premise Equipment, QHora and QMiro router series, NAS and QGD switches). 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 for interconnection in a micro-segmented network. Featuring a centralized management cloud platform, businesses can invest in a budget-friendly, secure, and resilient network to facilitate digital transformation, multi-site expansion and remote working.

QuWAN vRouter Solution: Highly Efficient, Economic and Secure

QuWAN vRouter 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 vRouter 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 vRouter’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.
