The Dude network monitor is an application by MikroTik which can dramatically improve the way you manage your network environment. It will automatically scan all devices within specified subnets, draw and layout a map of your networks, monitor services of your devices and alert you in case some service has problems.

The new RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition uses a new quad-core Cortex A15 chip from Annapurna Labs, an Amazon company. The chip is clocked at 1.4GHz for a maximum throughput of up to 7.5Gbit/s.

The unit features several high-speed storage mounts (two SATA and two M.2) for using a Dude database, proxy cache, or any other storage intensive feature. It includes a 60GB M.2 solid-state drive and comes with Dude package already installed to work out-of-the-box.

The RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition supports IPsec hardware acceleration and is faster at it than any previous RouterBOARD device.

The unit features two IEC failover power connectors, supports passive or 802.3at/af PoE input and has a DC telecom power connector for -48V DC powering. It uses passive cooling and is absolutely quiet.
