Build a multi-site network infrastructure for SMBs and Micro-enterprises
QNAP’s high-performance QuCPE integrates the QuWAN SD-WAN solution, AMIZcloud platform, and WireGuard VPN. Small businesses and micro-enterprises can flexibly build multi-site network infrastructure by deploying a QuCPE Series 7 in their headquarters, and QuCPE Series 3 in their branches and workplaces.
Easily deploy virtual network environments with the 2-in-1 Premise Equipment
When deploying virtualized environments, Enterprises often choose to install costly enterprise-grade solutions on edge servers or free solutions with limited technical support – a hard decision for resource-constricted SMBs. In addition, simultaneously running multiple VMs can impact network performance. QNAP’s QuCPE Network Virtualization Premise Equipment combines hardware acceleration technologies, QNAP’s proprietary QNE Network operating system and the AMIZcloud centralized management platform to help SMBs build a highly-optimized virtual network infrastructure.
AMIZcloud - powerful centralized VM management platform
The AMIZcloud centralized management platform enables HQ-based IT staff to centrally monitor all edge devices, virtual machines, and containers. Supporting troubleshooting, and remote management via the Account Center, the QuCPE-3034 helps enterprises achieve Zero Touch Provisioning, thus enhancing IT deployment efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

Efficient management via Service Composer with visualized topology
With the visualized topology of the Network Service Composer, you can easily set up VNFs or VMs, create virtual switches, and allocate physical network resources for chained services by drag and drop. When settings change, you can directly add/remove individual VNFs using the service composer, greatly simplifying operational network combination.

SD-WAN enables chaining network services
QNE incorporates QNAP’s QuWAN SD-WAN solution (subscription-free) to form encrypted VPN tunnels with other QNAP devices based in multiple sites and achieve multi-site network services chaining. For example, you can automatically create a firewall network (using QuWAN and pfSense VNFs) to enhance WAN security in the Service Composer UI using drag-and-drop.

Optimize LAN/WAN performance
Service Composer also supports SR-IOV and QuWAN SD-WAN, which greatly improves the WAN transmission of the QuCPE-3032 that runs QuWAN, while also helping users to enjoy high-speed and secure LAN and WAN network transmission at the same time.
Enhanced security
You can automatically create a firewall network (using QuWAN and pfSense VNFs) to enhance WAN security in the Service Composer UI using drag-and-drop.
Run your VM/VNF Directly on QuCPE
QNE Network inherits versatile virtual applications from the QNAP QTS system. QuCPE can simultaneously run multiple virtual machines, software containers, and even bespoke user-made virtual machines in Virtualization Station and Container Station, assisting SMBs in improving deployment and management flexibility while streamlining hardware costs.
Near-zero service downtime with High Availability
By installing and configuring HA Manager App, QuCPE-3034 supports Active-Standby High Availability system which enables failover from a primary QuCPE host to a secondary QuCPE host equipped with the same services. Without onsite maintenance, Device HA technology guarantees near-zero service downtime on QuCPE.
Intel hardware acceleration technologies boost virtual network performance
Specifically designed for running virtualization applications, the QuCPE-3034 Network Virtualization Premise Equipment adopts multiple Intel hardware acceleration technologies to allow direct hardware access, thus enhancing VM and virtual network transmission performance.
DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit)
Allows data to bypass the OS Kernel and directly enter user space to offer a double packet transmission rate (Total T/R x L2) and improve overall virtualization application performance.
Smart NIC SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization)
By installing an SR-IOV compatible PCIe SmartNIC, you can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs. With traffic bypassing the Hypervisor vSwitch, it helps enhance I/O throughout and network efficiency, ensuring reliable VM applications and reduced CPU overheads.
Intel QAT (Intel QuickAssist Technology)
Offloads computationally-intensive compression and improves IPsec cryptography VPN performance.
