The MikroTik RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition is a powerful router designed for storage-intensive applications. At its core is the high-performance Annapurna Alpine AL21400 CPU with four Cortex A15 cores, each clocked at 1.4 GHz. The Cortex A15 processor core stands out for its high performance and energy efficiency. The inclusion of the Annapurna Alpine AL21400 CPU provides the router with a maximum throughput of up to 7.5 Gbps, which ensures fast and reliable connectivity, making it a perfect fit for environments that demand high-speed data transmission.

The RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition features IPsec hardware acceleration, which boosts the performance of IPsec VPNs by using specialized hardware for encryption and decryption. This ensures secure and efficient IP communication. In tandem with IPsec hardware acceleration, the router supports AES128, an encryption algorithm widely adopted in various security protocols and systems. By striking a perfect balance between security and performance, AES128 ensures that your data remains confidential and secure while being transmitted efficiently across the network.

One of the standout features of the RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition is its support for high-speed storage connectors, including two SATA and two M.2 slots. These storage connectors are particularly beneficial for leveraging MikroTik's network management application, The Dude. The Dude offers a visual representation of your network, alongside monitoring and notification features, thereby streamlining network management processes. In addition, the device's support for a proxy cache improves web page response times by storing copies of web content, subsequently reducing server load. Moreover, the RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition comes pre-installed with a 60GB M.2 drive. This inclusion ensures that users have sufficient storage space for files, applications, and other data, without the need for external storage solutions.

The RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition is a versatile and powerful device, featuring 13 Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed network connections up to 1 Gbps. Housed in a 1U rackmount case, it fits neatly into a standard 19-inch server rack, taking up just 1.75 inches of vertical space. The device is equipped with an RS232 serial port, allowing for the connection of serial devices such as modems and printers. Its dual redundant power supplies provide an added layer of reliability, ensuring that the network remains operational even in the event of a power failure. Moreover, the device supports -48v DC telecom power, a standard used in telecommunications equipment; and the 802.3at\/af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, delivering electrical power to devices over Ethernet cables, with up to 25.5 watts of power per port with PoE+ (802.3at) and up to 15.4 watts per port with 802.3af.
