MikroTik RouterOS Enterprise Data Server RDS2216 MikroTik Rose Data Server (RDS2216) is a powerful, multi-functional device designed for enterprise environments that combines storage, networking, and container support. This server allows businesses to take control of their data and infrastructure, eliminating dependency on external cloud services. Key Features: Extensive Storage Options – 20 slots for U.2 NVMe drives provide ultra-fast, high-capacity storage. High-speed network connectivity – 2× 100G QSFP28, 4× 25G SFP28, 4× 10G SFP+, and 2× 10G Ethernet ports. Powerful hardware – 16-core ARM processor (2 GHz) and 32 GB DDR4 RAM. Energy Efficiency – Designed for low power consumption and optimal cooling. RouterOS operating system – Advanced storage features including NVMe-TCP and encryption. Container Support – Ability to run OCI-compliant containers such as MinIO, Nextcloud, and Shinobi. Redundant Power – Two hot-swap power supplies for 24/7 operation. Real-world Uses: S3-compatible custom cloud storage – Fast, vendor-neutral. Your data, your rules, no hidden fees or security risks. Enterprise Cloud Hosting – Secure document storage with NextCloud support. Built-in BTRFS features such as snapshots, compression, and subvolume transfers ensure efficiency, scalability, and data integrity. High-speed backup and database clusters – RAID, iSCSI, NVMe-TCP, and TCG-Opal self-encrypting disk support ensure secure and high-performance storage for PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and other mission-critical applications. Virtualized Infrastructure – Run virtual machines, automate tasks, and scale systems. Swap support prevents out-of-memory failures under heavy load. Branch Office Storage Expansion – Routers (e.g. hAP ax2) can attach storage via NFS, SMB or NVMe-TCP without the need for local USB/SD drives. RouterOS enables encryption and data sharing over multiple protocols. Self-Encrypting Storage – TCG-Opal self-encrypting drives for hardware security. When HW encryption is not possible, built-in block encryption ensures data protection without performance loss. Private Social Network Hosting – Run your own Pixelfed, Loops or Matrix network without tracking, advertising or third-party interference – complete digital independence.
