Build a resilient IT infrastructure for all usage scenarios
QuWAN consists of a cloud-based management platform (QuWAN Orchestrator) and a VM App for edge devices (QuWAN Agent). Adopting Auto Mesh VPN, WAN optimization technology and IPsec encryption, QuWAN is built into the QuCPE Network Virtualization Premise Equipment, QHora and QMiro router series and supports installation in QNAP NAS and QGD switches. QuWAN vRouter Edition also allows the VMware ESXi virtualization platform and servers to be connected to SD-WAN. 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
Add multiple client devices to QuWAN Mesh VPN
In contrast to normal site-to-site VPN, QuWAN establishes an Auto Mesh VPN to free you from tedious manual static VPN route configuration. The QuWAN Orchestrator Cloud platform greatly simplifies and centralizes the large scale of Mesh VPN settings. With QuWAN QBelt VPN, QVPN Clients deployed on PCs or mobile devices can connect to QVPN servers deployed on QNAP devices or other devices supporting VMware ESXi v7.0. Employees can easily join VPN with company’s existing internal emails or accounts, and IT staff can also efficiently manage a large number of VPN connections.
Convenient single user account login to VPN
QuWAN supports Authentication Server and SAML SSO to allow users to join VPN with a single company email login easily and conveniently. IT staff can also use existing authentication to efficiently grant VPN access and monitor hundreds of VPN users.
Use Google Workspace Admin for SAML SSO Use Microsoft Entra ID for SAML SSO
QuWAN Solution: Highly Efficient, Economic and Secure
QuWAN 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 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’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.
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 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 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 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 allows for the easy and flexible deployment of a global network topology for an enhanced multi-national working experience. You can create multiple regions inside the global domain, and the configured regional hubs will automatically form a Mesh VPN via Public IPs. Only the China domain with Internet restrictions needs to be connected to the global domain through an Inter-regional link.
Add your VMware ESXi platform and servers to QuWAN
QuWAN provides the virtual router with SD-WAN functionality (QuWAN vRouter Edition), allowing installation in VMware ESXi virtualization platform and servers to be connected to SD-WAN. Besides Auto Mesh VPN, firewall, WAN optimization and Cloud management, QuWAN vRouter Edition also enables network traffic analysis and control over the Virtual Machines on VMware ESXi platforms. QuWAN vRouter Edition offers a flexible and affordable annual subscription solutions, from basic 15Mbps solution for free to 30MBps or up to 1Gbps solutions starting from $7.99 based on needs.
