QNAP QGD-1602P-C3558-8G 16-Port Multi-Gigabit PoE++ Compliant Managed Switch & NAS Enclosure with SFP+

The QNAP QGD-1602P-C3558-8G-US is a 16-port managed switch combined with a NAS enclosure designed to simplify network management and storage for small to medium-sized businesses. It offers a powerful setup with dual Intel Atom processors running at 2.2 GHz, one dedicated to handling network switching and the other focused on NAS operations. This separation ensures smooth performance whether you are managing data traffic or accessing storage.

With 16 PoE++/PoE+ ports, including four that deliver up to 90W and twelve that provide 30W each, this device can power a variety of network devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones directly through the Ethernet cables. The total power budget of 200W supports multiple devices simultaneously without the need for additional power supplies. Two 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports provide high-speed connections to other network segments or servers, making it suitable for environments that demand fast data transfer and low latency.

The QGD-1602P-C3558-8G-US supports up to 8GB of DDR4 RAM, which can be expanded to 64GB, allowing for flexible performance scaling based on your workload. It accommodates two 2.5-inch SATA drives for storage and includes two M.2 NVMe slots that can be used for caching or expanding storage pools, improving responsiveness and data access speeds. The device also features two PCIe Gen3 x4 slots for additional expansion options, such as adding network cards or other modules.

On the software side, it runs QNE ADRA Linux OS, which supports virtual machines and containerized applications, enabling you to run up to six VMs or apps directly on the device. This makes it a versatile platform for running network services, security applications, or other business-critical software without needing separate hardware. The built-in Layer 2 management tools and SD-WAN capabilities provide straightforward control over your network traffic and connectivity, helping to optimize performance and reliability.

This switch and NAS combo is ideal for businesses looking to consolidate their network infrastructure into a single, manageable device. It fits well in office environments, retail locations, or any setting where centralized power delivery, storage, and network management are essential. Whether you need to support IP surveillance, wireless networks, or data storage with high availability, this device offers a unified solution that balances power, speed, and flexibility.
