QNAP QGD-1600-4G
The world’s first smart edge switch that runs QTS and supports hosting Virtual Machines (VMs), enabling versatile applications to satisfy all your networking needs.
QNAP’s QGD-1600 is the world’s first managed switch that supports Virtual Machines (VMs). It features multiple Gigabit ports for highly flexible networking environment deployment. With a dual-CPU design, the QGD-1600 provides both Layer 2 management functions for VM and QTS applications. The QGD-1600 also features Software-Defined Networking (SDN), enabling it to function as a NAS, NVR, router and firewall for IP surveillance, network security and storage expansion applications. Therefore, the QGD series offers SMBs a cost-optimized and centrally managed LAN deployment solution.
Gigabit RJ45/SFP ports
Multiple Gigabit and RJ45/SFP combo ports provide computers, LAN switches and NAS with higher bandwidth to empower applications like virtualization, 4K video editing and file sharing.
Layer 2 network
QGD-1600 provides comprehensive Layer 2 management features, such as VLAN, LACP, QoS IGMP Snooping, and Wake-on-LAN for IT administrators to efficiently control the network bandwidth and enhance security via the user-friendly switch management web interface.
User-friendly management interface
QuNetSwitch offers a user-friendly web interface to help IT administrators efficiently control Layer 2 networks. Additionally, the overview dashboard and graphical statistics analysis show IT administrators all switch information and pored devices at a glance, making central management of network devices intuitive and easy.
Two SATA drive bays
Supports up to two SATA drives.
Flexible PCIe expansion
PCIe expandability allows for 10GbE network cards, QM2 dual-port M.2 SSD/10GbE cards, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) cards, or Wireless Adapters.
Virtualization applications

The First Switch with VM Support
The Guardian series is the world’s first switch with the QTS operating system built in for VM, container, and other cloud applications, enabling diverse networking and storage solutions. In addition to QVR Pro, VJBOD, and other diverse storage applications, the QTS App Center also supports VMs for running many open-source software applications. Integrated with public cloud services, the QGD-1600 meets the needs of various applications in IP surveillance, storage expansion and network security. The QGD-1600 dual-CPU design enables you to run the networking management interfaces of QSS (QNAP Switch System) and QTS independently. The QGD-1600 offers a user-friendly web interface, QuNetSwitch, to help SMBs easily deploy a flexible and secure IT infrastructure.

QTS and QSS can work independently without interfering each other to ensure continuous operation. For example, when restarting the QTS, the QSS connections will not be interrupted; when rebooting the QSS, the VMs on QTS will keep running.
QuNetSwitch: Layer 2 Management with User-friendly Web GUI
The QGD-1600 provides comprehensive Layer 2 management features (including VLAN, LACP, and LLDP) for efficient control of networks through IP grouping and bandwidth management. Powerful security functions (including IGMP Snooping, static MAC, QoS, and Wake-on-LAN) are also suitable for simple networking environments and easy deployment. Aside from the QNAP Switch System (QSS), the QGD-1600 also offers the user-friendly web interface software QuNetSwitch (via QTS) to help IT staff control Layer 2 management networks. The overview dashboard and statistical analysis area displays all the information about the switch and devices at a glance, making centralized management of network devices intuitive and easy.
