- Mikrotik RDS2216 Rose data server combines storage, networks and containers
- It is executed on the AWS Graviton 1 ARM CPU of 16 cores and has 16 ports
- Admits Minio, NextCloud and encryption, without subscriptions or payment walls
Microtik, a letona company that specializes in hardware and network software, has launched a new business server, fed by Rose (the company’s routeros edition for storage and computation).
Described as a “high -performance container platform, storage all in one, networks and containers for business environments”, the Microtik Rose RDS2216 data server combines a U.2 NAS, advanced switch, CPU Arm of 16 light cores and 32GB of DDR4 RAM.
The surprising green server, which has 16 ports that include two 100 g of QSFP28, four 25 G SFP28, four 10G SFP+ and two 10 g Ethernet ports, also has twenty NVME U.2 storage slots. It supports a series of advanced storage characteristics, such as the export of NVME-TCP block devices, encryption layers and modular configurations, without subscriptions or payment walls. It is ready for containers, which works without problems, NextCloud, Shinobi, Frigate and other containers that meet OCI, with additional USB ports for potentially even greater adaptability.
AWS Graviton 1
The arm chip that feeds the RDS is undoubtedly one of the most interesting things on the server. The Al73400 is a 16 -core SOC ARMV8 developed by Annapurna Labs, which turns out to be a subsidiary of Amazon. The chip, also known as the AWS Graviton 1 processor, was originally introduced in 2018 to boost Amazon cloud infrastructure.
Beyond that, the server has 32 GB of RAM (which is a bit stingy) and 128 MB of NAND storage. It also presents the acceleration of IPSEC hardware, ensuring encrypted connections without performance bottlenecks. Microtik says that the device is classified for 200,000 MTBF at 25 ° C and works within a temperature range of -20 ° C to 50 ° C.
The suggested uses for the RDS2216 include the storage of minio in the autohosped cloud, the cloud accommodation of Nextcloud Enterprise, high -speed backup copies and database groups, containerized infrastructure, storage expansion of the branch, storage of automatic self -dispute and private accommodation of social networks.
Writing about the server, Servethehome He says: “Microtik and Ampere have had publications about working together. Hopefully it will become the network side of this with the RDIMM support and more. Assuming this is sold for less than $ 2000, it could be a really orderly option, but it is also one that we want to try before recommending. “
