So, ah, Cloud Core Router CCR1036 Shipping Date? Please...

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hi all -

It did not take long at all to outgrow those Axiomtek NA-820s (A.k.a. PowerRouter 732 and clones) with their rather meager packet-handling capabilities. Just upgraded two sites to the NA-510, with much faster Ethernet chipsets and Core i7 processors - a pain with the id’ing and renumbering of disparate interfaces and generally making sure that the in’s and out’s of everything has ported over correctly.

After being up for just five weeks, had my first crash this morning. Ugh. One thing I’ve always been able to count on with Mikrotik is stability, now with this latest and allegedly greatest (non-Mikrotik) hardware, I’m not so sure anymore. Rebooted and crossing my fingers…

I suppose I could fall back to an RB1100AHx2, but the CCR1036 - that’s my baby. Me want. Having had my share of DDoS pushing the high limits of a GigE uplink and always bringing the router to it’s knees, I need that CCR1036 power. 450Kpps is not going to cut it.

So the last I read, the CCR1036 was shipping in Q3 2012. Here we are. Mikrotik - can we have a date? I think I’m the first person to ask… today. I’d just love to get one and pilot it at my local data center to see how it handles.

Thanks!
Ed

Alternatively this build has worked well for us for the last 2 years :wink:

We are still on track to releasing within Q3

4

Make sure to send one over Australia for sponsors of the MUM! :stuck_out_tongue:

Not sure if anyone noticed, the image has been updated to more accurately reflect the actual product: http://routerboard.com/CCR1036-12G-4S

6

Any hints as to what the LCD screen will be used for or is used for in testing at present?

7

LCD panel will show interface status, traffic graphs, some basic status, and even will be used for basic configuration. It will be possible to protect it with a PIN code.

8

Please have support for reading DDMI from SFP modules ! :slight_smile:

Thanks, but I’m only interested in industrial-grade.

Awesome, so no later than end of September - hopefully sooner? When will that date, and pricing, be announced, roughly. Any ideas?

What version of ROS are you running?

Our edge router is running a Supermicro board and a Core i7.

We upgraded to v5 to get support for some Intel fiber cards. The cards work but the OS is unstable. 4.17 and below is rock solid, 5.11 reboots randomly, 5.7 randomly hangs.

11

Currently running a couple of devices on v5.7 with up-times nearing 300days and the next stable we’ve been using is v5.14.
Probably worth noting that the vast majority of these devices we run ESXi with RouterOS on top of that for backup and administration purposes (alternatively the DRAC works alright but ESXi makes it incredibly easy).

12

Last month of Q3 is rapidly approaching - how we doin’, Mirotik?? :smiley:

13

I’m still curious about the pricing.

14

Any chance there will be a release of “The Dude” to run of this?

15

There’s been a post from MTik staff recently noting that a new version of The Dude is currently in the works, no idea on the time frame.

16

According to http://www.mikrotik.com/download/share/du12.pdf the CCR1036 will arrive at the end of September (2012 hopefully :wink: )


F*#$ing s*xy great news!!! :slight_smile:

Well, I was looking for CCR1036 and found that one:
http://lanbowan.en.alibaba.com/product/580221022-213753153/MikroTik_Cloud_Core_Router_CCR1036_.html

Delivery Time: 2-4days

  • Really?

The TILE64 cpu itself costs $650…

19

It will be very difficulty to get this beast running. It’s massive parallel so algorithms have to be changed to use it’s capacity. This might affect stability in the first releases…
Hope to see gigabit routing speeds with 64 Byte packets.

It will most likely have two cores assigned to each port, basically 16 mini routers in one enclosure.
