QuWAN vRouter Can Now Be Used on Servers to Have SD-WAN

The manufacturer QNAP has presented today QuWAN vRouter , the virtual router solution that makes use of SD-WAN technology to communicate different physical headquarters of companies through VPN, and all this easily and quickly thanks to all the embedded software. QuWAN vRouter is only the software, which can be installed on servers and platforms with VMware ESXi, in this way, we will not have to use QNAP hardware, but we can use any type of hardware. Do you want to know all the characteristics of this solution for companies?

What is QuWAN vRouter and what is it for?

QuWAN vRouter is the software solution of the manufacturer QNAP to set up SD-WAN networks and interconnect different sites with each other, making use of secure VPN protocols such as IPsec, in addition, we will be able to configure an IPsec VPN network in automatic mesh, in such a way so that we always get from an origin to a destination by the best possible path. In professional environments this is very normal, but the configurations are really complex, because you have to combine VPN tunnels with internal gateway dynamic routing protocols such as RIP or OSPF, and know how to configure them properly.

Other characteristics of this software is that we have WAN optimization technologies and cloud management, in addition, this software is based on a licensing system through the QNAP Software Store, so licensing this software is really simple and we will have everything centralized. Of course, this software allows analysis of network traffic, and even control of virtual machines if you use VMware ESXi.

If you already have a NAS server from the manufacturer QNAP, an advanced switch from the QGD range and even a QHora router, you will be able to interconnect all these devices through the manufacturer’s QuWAN technology, in this way, we can interconnect the different devices between them. forming a mesh network based on SD-WAN:

If you only have the server hardware, you will need to use VMware ESXi v7.0 to run this software. In this way, we can enjoy QuWAN vRouter with SD-WAN without having to change the hardware that we have, in addition, all the implementation is carried out centrally through the QNAP Cloud, without the need to execute complicated commands.

QuWAN vRouter is a paid software, we currently have a free basic solution limited to 15Mbps of bandwidth, but we also have premium solutions between 30Mbps and 1000Mbps, with a price starting at $ 7.99 per year.
