QNAP Software-defined Platform Total Solution
Deploy reliable and agile multi-site virtualized infrastructure with the lowest TCO
Replace your dedicated network hardware with a QuCPE! Integrating the latest NFV (Network Function Virtualization) and SDN (Software-defined Network) technologies, QNAP’s Software-defined Platform Total Solution allows MSPs (Managed Service Provider), SIs (System Integrator) and enterprise IT staff to remotely deploy and manage IT rooms at multiple locations without being on-site, thus transforming into a next-generation IT room.
2023 IT room revolution!
Achieve a light and resilient modern IT room
Building and managing an IT room can really give people headaches…
- Requires purchasing various dedicated network hardware and ensuring that you have IT staff to deploy, manage, and maintain them.
- When expanding edge computing centers for branches with headquarters (HQ), limited budgets and support are great challenges.
- HQ-based IT staff must deploy and maintain network hardware at different branches, and allocate resources, which takes a great deal of time and efforts.
- As additional network hardware is added to the IT room, cabling and ventilation becomes more complicated.
We aim to build a modern IT room with light, cost-optimized and agile features. Utilize VM / VNF / Container technology to replace dedicated network hardware and transform your traditional IT room into a revolutionary virtualized IT room.
Benefits of replacing dedicated network equipment with VM / VNF
Previously it could take a few months for HQ-based IT staff to remotely deploy VPN routers in branch offices. This includes purchasing, sending, installing, configuring, and training.
Now, IT staff can finish deployment within 5 minutes using VMs / VNFs to replace dedicated network hardware. A QuCPE achieves a software-defined IT infrastructure to provide every network service and application.
-
Simple
Install VMs / VNFs on demand without complicated configuration.
-
Efficient
Remotely manage VMs / VNFs without on-site troubleshooting.
-
Cost-down
Saves IT budget from purchasing dedicated network hardware.
-
Fast
Migrate or centrally manage VMs / VNFs.
-
Flexible
Flexibly activate and chain services with data systems based on software-defined functions.

Best practices of building multi-site network infrastructure
Whether scaling up to accommodate worldwide offices or simply to different departments in the same building, QuCPE allows businesses to invest in budget-friendly, secure, and resilient multi-site IT room infrastructure.
- Branches: QuCPE 3 series is suitable for a budget-friendly large-scale deployment at multiple branches.
- HQ: QuCPE 7 series with high-performance computing power supports the core HQ network system.
- Enterprise VPN: QuWAN Mesh VPN connects a secure VPN between multiple business sites.
- Remote Management: All QuCPEs in the organization can be remotely managed on AMIZcloud.
Need storage space? QNAP Virtual NAS adds data storage on QuCPE
QNAP’s QuTScloud is a virtual appliance based on QNAP’s QTS NAS operating system and can run as Virtual NAS by installing on QuCPE. With HybridMount, QuCPE can mount cloud storage on Virtual NAS and connect to other QNAP NAS with more storage space for storing virtual service data. It’s free to enable QuTScloud on QuCPE!
Military-grade Anti-tampering
QNE Network incorporates an advanced Security Center, providing system key, certificate, password policy, security checkup and military-grade anti-tempering for highly-secure system and network operation.
