 MikroTik CCR1036-8G-2S+EM Cloud Core Router

Meet the powerhouse of the MikroTik Cloud Core Router series – the CCR1036-8G-2S+EM. Engineered by MikroTik for the most demanding network environments, this industrial-grade router delivers exceptional processing power thanks to its cutting-edge 36-core Tilera CPU. Designed specifically for ISPs, large enterprises, and data centers requiring millions of packets per second and multi-gigabit throughput, the CCR1036-8G-2S+EM is built for performance, reliability, and scalability. The “EM” designation signifies the enhanced 16GB of ECC RAM for handling even larger state tables and complex configuration

Key Features of MikroTik CCR1036-8G-2S+EM Router 

This router is packed with high-end hardware specified by networking experts:

  • 36-Core Tilera CPU: Features a TLR4-03680 Tile-Gx36 CPU with 36 cores running at 1.2 GHz each, providing massive parallel processing power for complex tasks.  
  • 16GB ECC RAM (EM Model): Equipped with 16GB of Error-Correcting Code RAM, ensuring data integrity and stability under heavy load, crucial for mission-critical applications. (Standard models typically have less RAM).
  • Dual Redundant Power Supplies: Includes two independent PSU units for high availability. If one power source fails, the router continues operating uninterrupted on the second PSU.  
  • 8 x Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Provides ample high-speed copper connectivity for various network segments.  
  • 2 x 10G SFP+ Cages: Enables high-capacity fiber optic uplinks or interconnects at 10 Gbps speeds. Supports both SFP (1.25G) and SFP+ (10G) modules (sold separately).
  • RouterOS Level 6 License: Comes with the highest tier RouterOS license, offering unlimited capabilities across all features including users, tunnels, interfaces, and advanced routing protocols.
  • 1U Rackmount Enclosure: Standard rackmount size for seamless integration into existing server racks.
  • Active Cooling System: Incorporates fans to maintain optimal operating temperatures under sustained high load.
  • M.2 Slot: Includes an onboard M.2 PCIe slot (typically x4) allowing for high-speed NVMe storage expansion (up to 1TB recommended).  
  • Connectivity Options: Includes a full-size USB port and an RJ45 serial console port for management and configuration.

The MikroTik CCR1036-8G-2S+EM Router is engineered to excel in scenarios where standard routers fall short:

  • ISP Core & Edge Routing: Handles massive routing tables (BGP), complex MPLS deployments, and high subscriber counts with ease.
  • Large Enterprise Backbones: Aggregates traffic from multiple departments or buildings, enforces complex firewall rules, and terminates numerous VPN tunnels without performance degradation.
  • Data Center Interconnects: Provides high-throughput, low-latency routing between server racks or network segments.
  • High-Capacity Firewall & NAT: Processes millions of concurrent sessions and complex firewall rulesets at wire speed.
  • VPN Concentration: Terminates thousands of secure VPN tunnels (IPsec, OpenVPN, etc.) efficiently thanks to its powerful CPU and hardware IPsec acceleration.
  • Millions of Packets Per Second: Capable of forwarding tens of millions of packets per second (Mpps), essential for handling large volumes of small packets typical in some network traffic patterns. (Actual throughput up to ~28 Gbps reported, depending on configuration and packet size).
