Qnap QGD-1600P PoE Managed Switch With Built-in Switch and NAS Functions

Qnap Systems, Inc. announced the QGD-1600P PoE managed switch.

A ‘Smart Edge Switch’, it provides network management, storage and computing capabilities by supporting QTS and virtualization. Compliant with the latest IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard, it supplies up to 60W per port and offers multiple layer-2 management functions.

With built-in switch and NAS functions, it also supports various QTS and virtualization applications to provide IP surveillance, network security, storage expansion, and wireless LAN management. Furthermore, it allows remote central management over edge devices, accelerating digital transformation for businesses with smart network deployment.

“The IT landscape is constantly changing, and the QGD-1600P was designed to assist businesses and organizations in accelerating their digital transformation to accommodate a wide range of potential applications,” said Bennett Cheng, product manager, Qnap. “One key application is surveillance, as with its 16Gb PoE ports, the QGD-1600P provides ample connectivity and management features for a dedicated surveillance solution.“

The QGD-1600P is equipped with 4-port 60W and 12-port 30W Gb PoE (with two PoE/SFP Combo ports) to supply up to 370W to multiple high-powered devices (PDs).

With an Intel Corp.‘s Celeron J4115 quad-core processor, switch CPU, and two SATA drive bays, it satisfies network transmission and storage needs.

With dedicated processors for NAS and switch functions, the QGD-1600P operates the networking management interfaces of QSS (Qnap Switch System) and QTS independently. The QTS and QuNetSwitch also assist SMBs to deploy a flexible and secure IT infrastructure.

With PoE management functions (including PoE scheduling, power supply prioritization, and power enabling/disabling), IT staff can control powered devices to promote an energy-saving PoE network.

PCIe expandability also provides the ability to expand the functionality of the QGD-1600P with 10GbE network cards, QM2 dual-port M.2 SSD/10GbE cards, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gb/s) cards, or wireless adapters.
