Network Virtualization Premise Equipment with an Intel® Xeon D multi-core processor, suitable for multi-user and multitasking business applications.
QNAP's QuCPE-7012 Network Virtualization Premise Equipment is a universal virtualization platform specifically designed for SMBs. The QuCPE-7012 utilizes powerful Intel® Xeon® D multi-core processors supporting Intel® QAT*, Smart NIC SR-IOV, and DPDK hardware acceleration technologies, and offers multi-port 2.5GbE and 10GbE ports, a network module slot, and a PCIe slot for 25GbE/10GbE expansion. With enhanced bandwidth and processing power for running multiple VMs and VNFs, the QuCPE-7012 is suitable for multi-user and multitasking business applications. The QuCPE-7012 also features the QNE (QNAP Network Equipment) operating system for chaining VNF services and the AMIZ Cloud centralized deployment and management platform to realize flexible zero-touch provisioning.

Easy deployment of virtual network environments with the 2-in-1 Premise Equipment
When implementing virtualized environments, companies often opt for expensive enterprise solutions on edge servers or free solutions with limited technical support—a difficult decision for SMBs with limited resources. Furthermore, running multiple VMs simultaneously can impact network performance. QNAP's QuCPE Network Virtualization Premise equipment features hardware acceleration technologies, QNAP's proprietary QNE Network operating system, and the centralized AMIZ Cloud management platform to help SMBs build a highly optimized virtual network infrastructure.

The QNE Network operating system completes the virtual network infrastructure
QNAP's proprietary QNE Network operating system supports the intuitive Network Service Composer and Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN), enabling flexible network deployment and multi-site network infrastructure expansion. By supporting Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), virtual machines, and containers, QNE Network integrates network, computing, and application services to realize network virtualization, application virtualization, and efficient management, significantly reducing the complexity of management and maintenance.

AMIZ Cloud – powerful centralized VM management platforms
The AMIZ Cloud central management platform enables the IT administrator at headquarters to centrally monitor all edge devices, virtual machines, and containers. The QuCPE-7012 supports high availability*, troubleshooting, and remote management via the Account Center, helping companies achieve zero-touch provisioning, increasing IT deployment efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

Efficient management via Service Composer with visualized topology
With the Network Service Composer's visualized topology, you can easily set up VNFs or VMs, create virtual switches, and assign physical network resources for chained services using drag and drop. If settings change, you can add or remove individual VNFs directly from the Service Composer, significantly simplifying operational network configuration.

Run 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 custom virtual machines in Virtualization Station and Container Station, helping SMBs improve deployment and management flexibility while reducing hardware costs.

Powerful server-level hardware architecture
With multi-port capabilities and an expandable architecture, the QuCPE-7012 enables optimal flexibility in storage, compute, and deployment to meet performance and application diversification requirements.

Intel hardware acceleration technologies increase the performance of virtual networks
The QuCPE-7012 Network Virtualization Premise Equipment is specifically designed to run virtualization applications and leverages multiple Intel hardware acceleration technologies to provide direct access to the hardware, improving the transmission performance of VMs and virtual networks.

DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit)
Allows data to bypass the operating system kernel and go directly into user space to provide double the packet transfer rate (Total T/R x L2) and improve the overall performance of the virtualization application.
Smart NIC SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization)
By installing an SR-IOV-compliant PCIe SmartNIC, you can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs. Because traffic bypasses the hypervisor vSwitch, it helps improve I/O throughput and network efficiency, ensuring reliable VM applications and reduced CPU overhead.
Intel QAT (Intel QuickAssist Technology)
Offloads computationally intensive compression and improves IPSec cryptography VPN performance.

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

Intelligent IT tools for efficient network management
QNE Network provides comprehensive management capabilities for intelligent IT network management.

Notification Center
Consolidates QTS system events and alarms and provides a single-app notification solution, instead of having to configure individual settings in multiple apps. Notifications can be sent via email, SMS, and other communication apps.
QuLog Center
Centralizes the statistical classification of error/warning events and accesses and supports IT staff in monitoring and responding to potential system risks.
Security Center
Provides security management for IT staff, including SSL certificate management. Additional features include automatic detection of history changes to prevent malicious modifications.
Zabbix
Zabbix is a third-party solution that automatically discovers devices and monitors network status. Zabbix provides user-friendly topology and network reports suitable for managing enterprise networks.

Intelligent surveillance system for unattended monitoring of IT rooms
Remote monitoring and automatic door access. QNE integrates QVR Elite for centralized management of remote surveillance streams. The QuCPE-7012 supports the installation of two HDDs/SSDs, and surveillance streams in branch offices can integrate a remote NAS at the head office with HybridMount QNE Edition.

AMIZ Marketplace Open Ecosystem Platform
The AMIZ Marketplace is an open platform ecosystem where software developers can offer VNFs and apps. The AMIZ Marketplace offers comprehensive licensing and payment services to streamline app deployment and payments. Third-party managed service providers, independent software vendors, and enterprise integrators are invited to develop a collaborative ecosystem to foster greater business innovation with QNAP.

Supports third-party virtual network features
The AMIZ Marketplace offers several free and premium VNFs and applications that users can install on demand.

Firewall software
Virtual firewall software (such as pfSense and FortiGate) helps organizations isolate or protect local networks and apply multiple security policies.
Virtual Router
The QuCPE-7012 can be converted into a security router by installing RouterOS or OpenWrt. You can also create site-to-site VPN tunnels between headquarters and branch offices, while simultaneously ensuring data transmission within the corporate network.
