The MikroTik RDS2216 (ROSE Data Server) is a 1U storage, 100G networking and container platform with 20 U.2 NVMe drive slots, running RouterOS v7 in its ROSE edition for storage and compute.

It is based on the CCR2216 router, with a 16-core ARM CPU and 32 GB of RAM. Each U.2 drive gets two PCIe 3.0 lanes, M.2 drives can be used through adapters, and storage can be shared over NVMe-TCP. The 98DX4310 switch chip provides Layer 3 hardware offloading, and two hot-swappable power supplies keep it running if one fails.

Key features

  • 20 x U.2 NVMe slots and 2 x M.2 slots
  • 2 x 100G QSFP28, 4 x 25G SFP28, 4 x 10G SFP+ ports
  • 2 x 10G Ethernet ports and 1 x Gigabit Ethernet port
  • 16-core AL73400 CPU at 2 GHz, 32 GB RAM, RouterOS level 6
  • Two hot-swappable AC power supplies (100-240 V)
  • RJ45 serial console and 2 x USB 3.0 ports

In the box

  • IEC cord
  • K-90 fastening set
  • Rackmount ears
  • Small rear support ears
  • Long rear rackmount support ears
