Built for Small AI Labs

As AI model training and inference become increasingly accessible to smaller teams, network infrastructure quality directly impacts GPU cluster efficiency. With support for PFC, ECN, and QoS, even budget-conscious small AI labs can build near-enterprise-grade lossless networks ensuring no GPU compute is wasted due to network bottlenecks.

• PFC

  Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) enables independent pause control per traffic class, preventing packet loss during GPU gradient synchronization and parameter updates a foundational requirement for RoCE and multi-node distributed training.

• ECN

  Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) marks packets at the earliest sign of congestion, prompting senders to reduce rates before any loss occurs. Combined with PFC, it keeps AI training clusters running at full throughput with minimal latency.

• QoS

  Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes AI training traffic through bandwidth scheduling, preventing management and backup traffic from competing for the same resources and ensuring consistent network performance across the cluster.

Scale secure and highly-efficient enterprise network infrastructure with the QNAP L3 Lite switch

Medium to large-scale enterprises often have large and complicated network infrastructure. Upgrading to L3 Lite managed switches not only scales a secure high-speed network infrastructure, but also saves tremendous maintenance and management costs.

• Scalability

  When scaling your network, additional network switches are required for more end devices. Deploying a L3 Lite switch helps realize granular control over large-scale segmented networks.

• High-performance

  High-performance network transmission is essential for critical business applications and services. A L3 Lite switch effectively satisfies the high-performance network demands in AI, multimedia, and virtualization applications.

• Security

  Having trouble with the complicated connections in the medium to large-scale networks? A L3 Lite switch provides an IP routing table to both boost connection security and simplify security management.

Enterprise IP routing, network high availability and high-performance demands

• IP routing

  Forwards packets through IP addresses to enable communication between devices in different network segments, or efficiently connect between different segments and subnets to achieve more complicated network segments based on functions.

• MC-LAG network redundancy

  Combines multiple connections between switches into a single, logical link. This logical link provides high availability and redundancy for client devices as it can continue to function even if one or more of the physical links fail. When used together with NAS High Availability (HA), it ensures high availability at both the storage and network layers, delivering comprehensive dual-layer protection.
