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
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.
Automatic WAN Failover
Integrate Hybrid Multi WANs (such as ADSL of different ISPs) to automatically connect to other available services if there is a service disconnection.
