Qnap QuCPE-7012 Network Virtualization Premise Equipment With QNE Network OS

Qnap Systems, Inc. released the QuCPE-7012 network virtualization premise equipment with the next-gen QNE Network OS.

Supporting Network Function Virtualization, QuWAN SD-WAN and the AMIZ Cloud VM Orchestrator platform, the QuCPE-7012 includes Intel’s hardware network acceleration technologies, cybersecurity features and HA to help enterprises deploy multiple unattended IT rooms at the Network Edge via Zero Touch Provisioning, and realize uninterrupted operation and automated management.

“Catering to the latest 5G and edge computing applications in next-gen data centers, QuCPE-7012 Network Virtualization Premise Equipment adopts QNE Network (an OS that combines networking, computing, application services and cloud management resources) to help businesses deploy IT infrastructure similar to cloud service providers such as Google˛ or Facebook,” said Daniel Hsieh, product manager,.

The QuCPE-7012 uses the QNE Network OS for VNF, VM and Containers. Virtual network infrastructure can be deployed using an intuitive UI with Network Service Composer and visualized topology. The QNE Network OS integrates QuWAN SD-WAN and AMIZ Cloud solution to help IT staff not only establish encrypted multi-site Mesh VPN, but also to optimize transmission bandwidth via the cloud, thus realizing remote deployment and management of multi-site edge devices, hosted VM, and containerized applications.

It supports Active-Standby HA which enables failover from a primary QuCPE host to a secondary QuCPE host equipped with the same services. Without onsite maintenance, the QNE with QuCPE Device HA technology guarantees near-zero service downtime. It also incorporates an advanced Security Center and military-grade anti-tampering for highly-secure virtual system and network operation.
