Overview:

ROSE Data Server (RDS) Overview:

The ROSE Data Server (RDS2216 ) is an all-in-one, high-performance storage, networking, and container platform built for enterprise environments. Designed to provide complete control over your infrastructure, it eliminates reliance on third-party cloud providers and keeps your data secure, scalable, and fully under your management.

Description:

RDS2216 combines ultra-fast NVMe storage, 100G networking, and container-ready capabilities in a single device. With 20 U.2 NVMe slots, multiple high-speed Ethernet and SFP ports, a 16-core CPU, and 32GB RAM, it supports demanding workloads, virtualization, and advanced storage solutions. Dual hot-swappable power supplies ensure uninterrupted operation, while RouterOS delivers flexible, modular control with no subscriptions or paywalls. Perfect for enterprises seeking reliable performance, energy efficiency, and future-proof infrastructure.

Features:

High-Speed Storage for Enterprise Workloads
The RDS2216 features 20 U.2 NVMe slots, providing ultra-fast storage in a high-density configuration. It is ideal for applications requiring rapid data access, large-scale virtualization, and containerized environments. The server supports modular storage configurations and advanced encryption layers for secure, scalable deployments.

Advanced Networking Capabilities
This server offers 100G high-speed networking with multiple connectivity options:

  • 2x 100G QSFP28 ports
  • 4x 25G SFP28 ports
  • 4x 10G SFP+ ports
  • 2x 10G Ethernet ports
  • 1x SFF-8644 interface for flexible expansion

This wide range of ports ensures seamless integration into demanding enterprise networks while providing low-latency, high-bandwidth connections.

Powerful Processing and Memory
Equipped with a 16-core 2 GHz ARM CPU and 32GB DDR4 RAM, the RDS2216 handles intensive workloads with ease. This combination delivers exceptional performance for networking, storage operations, and containerized applications.

Energy-Efficient and Reliable
RDS2216 is designed for energy savings without sacrificing performance. Its dual hot-swappable AC power supplies allow continuous operation and easy replacement, reducing downtime in mission-critical environments.

Container-Ready Platform
The server is fully compatible with OCI-compliant containers, allowing you to run applications like MinIO, Nextcloud, Shinobi, and Frigate. Two USB ports and dual M.2 slots provide additional flexibility for storage expansion or peripheral devices.

RouterOS Integration
ROSE edition runs RouterOS, a modular and flexible operating system that supports advanced storage and networking configurations. Users can export block devices over NVMe-TCP, manage encryption layers, and scale infrastructure easily-all without subscription fees or hidden costs.

Why RDS2216 Stands Out

  • Ultra-fast, high-density NVMe storage
  • Complete 100G networking support
  • Powerful CPU and memory for heavy workloads
  • Energy-efficient design for reduced operating costs
  • Container-ready for versatile application deployment
  • Dual hot-swappable power supplies for uninterrupted service
  • No subscriptions or paywalls-one-time ownership

A Single Device, Endless Enterprise Possibilities
RDS2216 is a breakthrough solution for enterprises needing high-performance storage, networking, and container support in a single device. Reliable, scalable, and fully controlled by your organization, it ensures future-proof performance for even the most demanding environments.
