MikroTik RDS2216 ROSE Data Server – 100G QSFP28, 32GB RAM, RouterOS v7

Description

MikroTik RDS2216 ROSE Data Server – High-Performance Storage and Networking for Kenya and Africa

The MikroTik RDS2216-2XG-4S+4XS-2XQ is a high-performance data server designed for organisations that need high-speed networking, dense storage connectivity and flexible data infrastructure. Combining a 16-core ARM processor, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, extensive NVMe storage connectivity and RouterOS v7 Level 6, it provides a platform for demanding storage and networking deployments.

Available from Globikom for businesses in Kenya and across Africa, the MikroTik RDS2216 is suited to service providers, data-centre operators, enterprise IT teams and organisations building high-capacity network storage systems.

High-speed network connectivity

The RDS2216 provides two 100G QSFP28 ports for high-bandwidth network connections, four 25G SFP28 ports and four 10G SFP+ ports. It also includes two 10GbE Ethernet interfaces for additional network connectivity. This range of interfaces gives infrastructure teams flexibility when connecting high-speed network segments, storage infrastructure and compatible switching equipment.

Before deployment, confirm that the selected transceivers, direct-attach cables, fibre type and connected equipment support the intended link speeds and distances.

High-density storage connectivity

The server provides 20 U.2 NVMe drive slots and two M.2 SATA slots. This combination supports storage configurations designed around high-speed NVMe drives and compatible SATA M.2 devices. Actual usable capacity and storage performance depend on the drives installed, storage configuration and workload.

The platform is suitable for evaluating high-density storage applications, data services and infrastructure where fast access to stored information is important. Confirm drive compatibility and the intended storage architecture before ordering drives.

Powerful processing and memory

The MikroTik RDS2216 uses a 16-core, 64-bit ARM processor operating at 2 GHz and includes 32 GB of DDR4 RAM. Its processing resources support demanding data and network workloads, subject to the capabilities of the selected RouterOS features and installed applications.

RouterOS v7 and Level 6 licence

The RDS2216 runs RouterOS v7 with a Level 6 licence. MikroTik’s software platform provides networking and system-management capabilities, while the ROSE data-server platform is designed for storage-oriented applications. Check the relevant RouterOS documentation and software version for the features required by your project.

Enterprise-oriented hardware

The server includes dual hot-swappable AC power supplies for power redundancy and a rack-mountable enclosure. Redundant power supplies can help maintain power availability when a supported supply fails, provided the power feeds and installation are configured appropriately.

Typical deployment considerations include data-centre storage, high-bandwidth infrastructure, service-provider environments and enterprise data systems. Suitability depends on the applications, storage design, redundancy requirements and network architecture.
