VIRTUALIZATION STATION

NETWORK & VIRTUAL SWITCH

2

Agenda• Virtualization Station quick overview• GPU pass through• Networking modes introduction

• Isolated• External-only• Bridged

• QTS Network & Virtual Switch

3

Quick Overview• VM snapshot • VM import/export• VM backup/ restore

• Online VM backup• VM backup boot-up instantly

• USB connection (2.0/3.0)• GPU Pass-through• Virtual Switch

• Isolated, Bridged and External-only

4

GPU Pass-throughTDS-16489U & & TVS-ECx80U SAS

5

GPU Pass-through (1/2)Support AMD Radeon R7, R9Passthrough GPU to a VM:

Benefits:• Supports DirectX and OpenGL graphic APIs

• Some utilities can be boosted up.• Increases processing power and improves display

output• Boost performance for big data analytics

• OpenCL

6

GPU Pass-through (2/2)Requirements:• Plug in a monitor to NAS Local display • A set of keyboard and mouse to control it.• UltraVNC Remote desktop

• Can be installed from the QNAP Guest Tool

7

How to setup GPU passthrough?

8

Remote Desktop - QNAP Guest tools (1/2)• Built-in to the VM Driver ISO image

9

Remote Desktop - QNAP Guest tools (2/2)

• Virtio Driver (compulsory)• Virtual Gigabit Ethernet• Virtual Disk Controller

• QNAP Guest agent• Collects VM IP address• Synchronizes the VM time

• Can correct the VM time after the VM is resumed

• UltraVNC®• When the VM uses GPU passthrough, the

VM needs an extra VNC server for accessing the console.

Networking mode

• IsolatedNot attaching any Ethernet interface to a Virtual Switch creates an isolated network.

• External-onlySpecify an Ethernet interface for a Virtual Switch to enable dedicated routing between virtual switches and external networks.

• BridgedAttaching an Ethernet interface to a Virtual Switch creates a bridged network.

NETWORK & VIRTUAL SWITCH

12

Overview• Integrates all network functions and enhances the user

experience• Network topology • Multi-selection for port-trunking• Supports Thunderbolt (thunderbolt model only)

• New feature: Virtual Switch• To build a flexible and simple network environment• Two modes supported: Private network and Switch mode

13

Network Topology• Easily check the network status and clearly see the

network topology

14

Multi-selection for port-trunking• Without the limited amounts of Ethernet connections

15

Thunderbolt• Enjoy the high-speed throughout of the Thunderbolt

interface

16

Virtual Switch: Private Network• It is easy to create a LAN environment by bridging your

devices via NAS. • DHCP Server included

17

Virtual Switch: Switch• Using uplink to connect NAS to Internet, and downlink to

connect your devices.
