The First PoE Switch Series with VM Support
The Guardian supports QNAP’s QTS operating system and is the world’s first PoE switch series that can host virtual machines, containers, and provide other cloud applications - enabling diverse networking and storage solutions. In addition to QuWAN, QVR Pro, HybridMount, and other applications, the included App Center also supports VMs for running many open-source software applications. The Guardian provides SMBs with not only an all-in-one networking solution for IP surveillance, storage expansion, network security, and wireless LAN management, but also a SD-WAN solution for connecting to other QNAP devices at multiple sites. The dual-processor Guardian enables you to independently run the networking management interfaces (QSS - QNAP Switch System) and QTS. The Guardian provides a user-friendly web interface, QuNetSwitch, to help SMBs deploy a flexible and secure IT infrastructure.

Deploy a multi-site VPN with SD-WAN solution
The QGD-1602P and other QNAP solutions now support QuWAN – QNAP’s SD-WAN solution. QuWAN provides full mesh IPsec VPN topology between QNAP devices based in multiple sites to fulfill enterprise video, VoIP, ERP system data, and filing needs. QuWAN adopts software-defined networking to achieve optimum network connectivity, and supports cloud-centric management for deploying a resilient IT Infrastructure.

Dual-system of Switch & NAS, enabling optimum performance
The QGD-1602P features dual system design, multi-port capability and expandable architecture, enabling optimum transmission and flexibility to fulfill business needs in performance and application diversification.

Intelligent PoE Management of up to 90W high-power devices
The QGD-1602P is compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standards, offering 4-port 90-watt and 12-port 30-watt PoE capabilities. The QGD-1602P can supply a total power budget of 370 watts to meet the demands of many high-power devices (PDs) (such as 4K IP cameras, wireless APs, IP phones, LED lights, and digital signage). The QGD-1602P supports intelligent PoE management functions, including scheduling, power supply prioritization, and power enabling and disabling. You can obtain the real-time network connection status and power consumption information of PDs and configure PDs simultaneously to promote an energy-saving PoE network.

Faster wired and wireless transmission
The QGD-1602P has eight 2.5GbE ports and eight Gigabit PoE ports for connecting various high-speed powered devices. Two in-built 10GbE SFP+ ports can serve as uplink ports to the Internet and core networks or simply be connected to routers and LAN Fiber switches. The additional two 5GbE and two Gigabit host management ports can be connected to multiple hosts or LAN devices to improve LAN efficiency. The switching capacity of QGD-1602P is 96Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port. By installing an 802.11ac Wireless Adapter and the WirelessAP Station App, the QGD-1602P can work as an access point for connecting multiple edge devices and offer wireless speeds up to 2533Mbps.

20GbE Internal Bandwidth for Virtualized Applications
QTS can directly access to and control the data processed in QSS using Virtual Switches. The QGD-1602P provides 20GbE internal bandwidth to accelerate computing between end devices and hosts. The additional two 5GbE and two Gigabit host management ports can also be connected to multiple hosts for deploying multiple virtual machines.

QuNetSwitch: Layer 2 Management with User-friendly Web GUI
The QGD-1602P provides comprehensive Layer 2 management features (including VLAN, LACP, and LLDP) for efficient control of networks through IP grouping and bandwidth management. Powerful security functions (including IGMP Snooping, static MAC, QoS, and Wake-on-LAN) are also suitable for simple networking environments and easy deployment. Aside from the QNAP Switch System (QSS), the QGD-1602P also offers the user-friendly web interface software QuNetSwitch (via QTS) to help IT staff control Layer 2 management and PoE networks. The overview dashboard and statistical analysis area displays all the information about the switch and PDs at a glance, making centralized management of powered devices intuitive and easy.

The Guardian Smart Edge PoE Switch meets all your business needs.
The QGD-1602P is a one-stop central networking solution that offers flexible power supply, Web-based management, and innovative virtualization applications to solve various networking problems.

Smart Hotels
Hotel staff and customers can benefit from a smart access control system. Customers can check in with self-help kiosks upon arrival while browsing through room details and service packages. Wi-Fi should also be provided for customers to check information and contact customer service. Customer data also needs to be securely stored, while a surveillance system is necessary to ensure security.

Business Digital Transformation
IT staff in small businesses often need to set up file servers for employees to centrally store files. You also need to create networks for connecting equipment such as printers and VoIP phones. Firewalls are crucial in information security for mitigating attacks and threats. VPN connections are also necessary for secure remote file transfers between offices, sites, and remote workers.

Smart Retail
Digital signage is a convenient way to display menus/inventory and current offers. The POS system must also be constantly connected to ensure sales data is saved. An NVR surveillance system is also required to ensure customer, staff, and environmental security. These services can also use Wi-Fi for ease of use.
