Scale secure and highly-efficient enterprise network infrastructure with the QNAP L3 Lite switch
Medium to large-scale enterprises often have large and complicated network infrastructure. Upgrading to L3 Lite managed switches not only scales a secure high-speed network infrastructure, but also saves tremendous maintenance and management costs.
Scalability
When scaling your network, additional network switches are required for more end devices. Deploying a L3 Lite switch helps realize granular control over large-scale segmented networks.
High-performance
High-performance network transmission is essential for critical business applications and services. A L3 Lite switch effectively satisfies the high-performance network demands in AI, multimedia, and virtualization applications.
Security
Having trouble with the complicated connections in the medium to large-scale networks? A L3 Lite switch provides an IP routing table to both boost connection security and simplify security management.
Enterprise IP routing, network high availability and high-performance demands
IP routing
Forwards packets through IP addresses to enable communication between devices in different network segments, or efficiently connect between different segments and subnets to achieve more complicated network segments based on functions.
MC-LAG network redundancy
Combines multiple connections between switches into a single, logical link. This logical link provides high availability and redundancy for client devices as it can continue to function even if one or more of the physical links fail.
LACP
Link Aggregation Control Protocol combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.
Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation
With a compact metal body, the QSW-M7308R-4X provides stable and reliable operations while staying near-silent even when under full load. The front-panel LEDs also assist in viewing the current system status.
