QNAP Boosts 100GbE Switch with New Features and Software

QNAP just improved its 100GbE Lite-L3 managed switch. The QSW-M7308R-4X can handle both 100GbE QSFP28 and older 40GbE QSFP+ connections. With breakout cables, you can also split each 100GbE port into four 25GbE SFP28 ports. IT teams will love the new AMIZcloud platform, which lets them monitor and control many switches from anywhere. These upgrades help companies save money when building fast 100GbE networks. Anyone wanting these features simply needs to update their switch to the latest QSS Pro v4.1 software.

Ronald Hsu from QNAP points out that their 100GbE switches keep getting better software to match businesses' needs for fast networks. The QSW-M7308R-4X stands out because it works with 100GbE and older equipment at a great price. It also includes MC-LAG fault protection, fits in half a rack space, and connects to cloud management. Small and medium businesses moving up to 100GbE networks will find it very affordable.

The new QSS Pro v4.1 brings several major improvements. Your 100GbE QSFP28 ports can connect to more servers, switches, or storage through special breakout cables that split into four 25GbE links. The switch works perfectly with older 40GbE equipment through direct attach or optical cables. For video over IP, the switch has super low delay thanks to IGMP Snooping with Precision Time Protocol and quality of service settings. It meets the strict ITU-T G.8273.3 Class A standard, keeping time differences under 100 nanoseconds.

The AMIZcloud platform lets IT staff check on switches at different sites from one place, making remote fixes easier and cutting maintenance costs. Each fiber port includes built-in monitoring that reports power levels, temperature, voltage, and connection status. The switch also offers better traffic control through enhanced quality of service features and strict policies for critical data. ACL Mirroring can copy specific network traffic and send it to monitoring devices. Note that AMIZcloud works with certain switch models only. The QSW-M7308R-4X costs about $1,170 US dollars.
