MikroTik Cloud Core Router CCR1036-8G-2S+EM – High-Performance Enterprise Router

MikroTik Cloud Core Router CCR1036-8G-2S+EM is built for high-capacity routing and network performance, powered by a 36-core Tilera processor that handles heavy traffic with ease. It supports advanced enterprise routing, switching, firewall, VPN, traffic shaping, and quality-of-service (QoS) features through RouterOS, making it suitable for complex network architectures.

Equipped with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this router connects multiple network segments and switches. The 2 SFP+ 10G fiber ports provide high-speed uplink and inter-site links for data center and campus backbones. Its EM (Enterprise Metal) chassis is designed for rack mounting in server rooms and network closets, offering durability and efficient heat dissipation.

This router supports dynamic routing protocols, VPN tunnels, bandwidth management, and advanced firewall policies. With RouterOS, administrators get granular control over traffic, security, and network services. The CCR1036-8G-2S+EM combines enterprise-level performance, flexible configuration, and high throughput for demanding environments.
