Qnap has introduces the qwu-100 the wake-on assistant

As a great trusted partner, we have attended the QNAP product presentation and its sneak peak to see what is new. Precisely one of the most interesting is this equipment QNAP QWU-100 an assistant to be able to start devices through the network and remotely.

QNAP QWU-100 and QuWakeUp the new way to start computers remotely

Without a doubt, a very interesting product for those users who need to operate equipment, start and stop from outside the home. You will already know the Wake-On-Lan function that currently has practically all devices such as PCs, servers or NAS. This function allows us to go from a suspended state to a computer to be able to boot them through the network card, by means of an interruption code or "magic packet" based on its MAC address with 16 consecutive repetitions.

Well, QWU-100 offers more than this, because it removes the necessary barriers to be able to interact with our devices remotely, using VPN or Port Forwarding. Now it is as simple as connecting this equipment at home, before our switch or router so that it is able to detect our equipment connected through the network thanks to the QuWakeUp application that comes with it.

As QNAP usually does, this device has a graphical management interface through our web browser. From it, we can configure the Wake-On-Lan of each device and establish power queues. Similarly, we have a Smartphone application that allows us to do all these functions without the need for a browser. And if we do not have enough, everything can be managed through MyQNAPcloud to make it as safe and invisible as possible against hackers.
