MikroTik RouterOS Enterprise Data Server RDS2216

MikroTik Rose Data Server (RDS2216) is a powerful, multi-functional device designed for enterprise environments, combining 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 and 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 compatible containers such as MinIO, Nextcloud and Shinobi.
• Redundant power
  • Two hot-swap power supplies for continuous operation.

Real-world use

• Custom S3-compatible 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
  • Support for RAID, iSCSI, NVMe-TCP and TCG-Opal self-encrypting disks ensures 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 high load.
• Storage Expansion for Branch Offices
  • 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.
• Auto-Encrypted 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.
