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.

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 Micro-segmentation Infrastructure
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.
Powerful centralized QuWAN Orchestrator
QuWAN Orchestrator is a powerful and convenient centralized network management cloud platform, enabling IT staff to remotely deploy and manage edge network devices. Its Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) allows IT staff to easily build a large-scale WAN remotely and without the assistance of personnel at each location. IT staff can also monitor bandwidth, set parameters, and analyze network traffic on a single platform – perfect for multi-site, multinational network management and maintenance. QuWAN also provides an at-a-glance Dashboard, user-friendly network topology GUI, eMap and traffic analysis report to simplify network deployment.
Automatically connect multi-site devices to Mesh VPN with QuWAN Orchestrator
In contrast to normal site-to-site VPN, QuWAN establishes an Auto Mesh VPN to free you from tedious manual static VPN route configuration. QuWAN supports deploying a QVPN Server on QNAP devices or other devices with VMware ESXi v7.0 platform and QVPN Clients on mobile devices using a single Cloud platform. QuWAN Orchestrator helps IT administrators to easily set up QBelt VPN on mobile devices individually or via the cloud. VPN connection information can be sent to mobile devices to avoid device IP information leakage, thus achieving ZTP.
Monitor QNAP devices at a time
All the connected QuWAN devices and the information of device status, IP address and model names of its QNAP end devices can be monitored on QuWAN Orchestrator.
Intelligent WAN Optimization
QuWAN vRouter adopts load balancing technologies (including WAN Aggregation and QoS) to combine the bandwidth of different ISPs and to prioritize bandwidth utilization for high-priority tasks through auto-detection of end-user applications. QuWAN vRouter also supports failover mechanisms through integrated Hybrid Multi WANs (such as ADSL of different ISPs) which automatically connects to other available services if there is a service disconnection.
Secure Network Experience
QuWAN vRouter adopts Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) which analyses the L7-Payload to extract content information from the packets of websites and devices – assisting in identifying malicious content. You can prioritize bandwidth utilization for business-critical applications and blacklist applications to secure and optimize your enterprise network.
Deploy a global QuWAN network topology
QuWAN vRouter allows for the easy and flexible deployment of a global network topology for an enhanced multi-national working experience.
