Mikrotik ROSE Data Server (RDS)

MikroTik ROSE Data Server RDS2216

The MikroTik ROSE Data Server (RDS), model RDS2216-2XG-4S+4XS-2XQ, is a high-performance all-in-one enterprise platform that combines high-density NVMe storage, 100G networking, routing, and container capabilities in a single rackmount system. It is designed for organizations that need to maintain control of their storage and compute infrastructure while avoiding unnecessary cloud dependency.

The RDS2216 provides 20 U.2 NVMe drive slots and a high-speed networking architecture featuring 2x 100G QSFP28, 4x 25G SFP28, 4x 10G SFP+, and 2x 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Ethernet ports. It is powered by a 16-core 2GHz ARM64 processor and 32GB DDR4 RAM, making it suitable for demanding storage, networking and containerized workloads.

Technical Specifications

High-Density U.2 NVMe Storage

The RDS2216 is equipped with 20 U.2 NVMe storage slots supporting U.2-format SSDs up to 7mm height. Each drive is connected through PCIe 3.0 lanes, while the disk plane uses a high-bandwidth PCIe connection to the CPU. This architecture makes the platform suitable for high-performance storage workloads requiring multiple NVMe drives operating in parallel.

100G Data Center Networking

High-speed networking is a core part of the ROSE Data Server. It includes 2x 100G QSFP28 ports, 4x 25G SFP28 ports and 4x 10G SFP+ ports, along with two multi-gigabit Ethernet interfaces. This allows the RDS2216 to serve as a storage server, high-speed network device, aggregation platform or storage endpoint within modern data-center infrastructure.

ROSE RouterOS Storage Platform

The RDS2216 runs RouterOS v7 with the special ROSE edition, providing storage-focused capabilities in addition to MikroTik's networking features. ROSE supports advanced storage functions including block-device sharing over NVMe-TCP, encryption layers and modular storage configurations.

Container-Ready Infrastructure

The platform supports containerized workloads and can be used with OCI-compatible containers. MikroTik highlights applications such as MinIO, Nextcloud, Shinobi and Frigate, allowing organizations to combine storage, networking and application workloads on one infrastructure platform.

Enterprise Storage Applications

• Self-hosted S3-compatible object storage with MinIO
• Private cloud and document storage with Nextcloud
• High-speed backup and database infrastructure
• PostgreSQL and MariaDB storage workloads
• NVMe-TCP storage networks
• RAID-based enterprise storage deployments
• Containerized applications and services
• Data-center storage and network aggregation
• Branch-office centralized storage expansion
• Private infrastructure and self-hosted cloud environments

Hardware Redundancy and Reliability

The RDS2216 includes dual hot-swappable power supplies designed to improve availability and simplify power-supply replacement. Storage redundancy can additionally be implemented through supported RAID configurations, while network redundancy can be designed using RouterOS features such as bonding and VRRP.
