It seems that this is designed for specific use-cases. What benefits are there of using this as opposed to using something like a Supermicro server with 100G and/or 10G card? While this might be good for office environments, I’m not sure of the benefits of using it in a DC environment, especially if it’s limited to 32GB RAM. It (to me at least) appears to be a NAS with routing capabilities.

I think the primary use case is a branch office in a box. You have external routing and fire walling, you can now run containers to supplement the functions not available in router os, a chunk of storage / local caching for data from head office / the DC and now it’s one unit from MikroTik. Obviously you could get a supermicro with cards but I guess it’s “what’s the primary device” so optimised routing hardware with additional functions or on site server with additional routing (as a VM or separate box) Or also a company getting started as an MSP where they have small customers who don’t really need a server but they otherwise need a router and a nas and now it’s one box to manage on small customer sites. All through the familiar MikroTik front end. Regards Alexander Alexander Neilson Neilson Productions Limited 021 329 681 alexander@neilson.net.nz

Maybe. But it seems an odd compromise to restrict RAM on a device that is offering itself as a container platform. They don't seem to have compromised on connectivity much, though that is arguably a less relevant requirement for what appears to be their target market. It feels a bit like a "version 1" thing. Maybe the next version of the hardware will be able to have memory added.

Indeed! I'm expecting that it is just the first in line of a whole new product family. That's not based on any inside info - just on how that kind of thing usually goes ; ) This first one, it seems, is heavily focussed on storage but I'm anticipating some more related devices with additional RAM and CPU that can be used for running lots of containerised applications. Time will tell ; ) Anyone running a book on predictions? 😄 Cheers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why Choose DuxTel for all your MikroTik needs? 10 good reasons: http://duxtel.com/why_duxtel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow our tweets for news and updates: http://twitter.com/duxtel -----Original Message----- From: Karl Auer via Public <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Sent: Tuesday, 18 March 2025 1:06 PM To: MikroTik Australia Public List <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Cc: Karl Auer <kauer@nullarbor.com.au> Subject: [MT-AU Public] Re: RDS2216 - switch hardware On Tue, 2025-03-18 at 11:03 +1100, Mike Everest via Public wrote:
You’re right that it needs more RAM to be /extremely/ useful, but from a storage position the immediate advantage over PC server type gear is the M.2 interfaces over SATA I guess, but apart from that, one word: routerOS ?
Maybe. But it seems an odd compromise to restrict RAM on a device that is offering itself as a container platform. They don't seem to have compromised on connectivity much, though that is arguably a less relevant requirement for what appears to be their target market. It feels a bit like a "version 1" thing. Maybe the next version of the hardware will be able to have memory added.

So, the answer is IN, and the result is 'nah' 😔 Which was expected, of course ; ) Here's a look inside: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/duxtel_mikrotik-mikrotikrds-rosedataserver-ac...

Is it soldered on or on a SODIMM? Regards, Jason Hecker <https://www.upandrunningtech.com.au> <https://www.upandrunningtech.com.au> On Wed, 26 Feb 2025, at 11:23, Mike Everest via Public wrote:
😂 How did I miss *that*!
Our MT contact was kind enough not to chastise me for not noticing – instead politely gave over the details ; )
I’ll claim ‘elderly’ for the oversight 😏
Cheers!

I hate when things are missing from the specifications ;)
People have to guess then

Hi folks,
I found out today that despite no mention of it in any of the documentation so far, that the new RDS2216 also features the 98DX4310 switch hardware - the same switch chip used in CRS510-8XS-2XQ and CRS504-4XQ models.
It means that full VLAN filtering and L3 offloading is supported in this model - it's a full blown router and L3 switch with masses of storage!
You can find the hardware specs for the L3HW routing for this chip below:

One of the units arriving next month is already earmarked for our rack downstairs ; )
Cheers! : )
