CBS ran a video about "Where is the cloud actually located" and showed the Amazon datacenters. The video shows several MikroTik devices:

at 4:10 and at 6:24

Looks like Amazon uses our products in one of the worlds biggest cloud systems.
Be inspired and have a great day with your own projects

Sadly, it looks like the footage was probably all from inside the Raging Wire data center and not an AWS data center. It was still good to see it being used though.

really? !
I think this is wonderful news.

And it's not just one. We can see a many Routerboards in the Data Center.
Nice news!

RB3011 being used as DNS cache. Not bad at all.



PS: My RB2011 is begging for an upgrade.

Sweet!!!

I see a lot of Nokia 7210 SAS in that video along with Juniper MX2xx and 4xx

In New Zealand if I visit co-location style Datacentres, almost every rack will have a Mikrotik router in it. However in the big Tier3+ DC's used by enterprises it is primarily Juniper, Nokia(AlcaLu) and Cisco.

Ragingwire is part of NTT, they are data center operator and they are in business of leasing data center space and infrastructure to cloud providers like AWS, Microsoft and others ... so we actually dont know if this particular RACK is rented by AWS or somebody else ...

Yes!

Excellent news and well done Mikrotik.

Keep up the good work

I knew it.

Congrats MikroTik, I show management products for under $100 and they think they are not good enough when in reality they are great. Disruptive pricing is hard to take seriously but you guys deserve the recognition.

Very happy for you! And for us, because we make the good choice!

Keep the good work up, we salute you!

Its nice to see Mikrotik on Amazon DC. Keep it up!

Makes total sense..."Routing the world!!!"
Keep it up!

Cool. I've also seen a pair of MikroTik's in a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnit grocery store today. They were labeled "master" and "backup"

Excellent

Super cool! MT and all us users must be on to something good finally

A thread with picts/notes of MT "sightings in the wild" would be miles long... for good reason!

I'm working at a Uk cable company and we have a whole data center core network including 2 x 10 gbps edge fibers with CCRs running multihomed BGP and OSPF core network all Mikrotik. Working away nicely.

Which is the biggest routerboard based system you know of ?

Excellent products, adequate prices

Thank you for sharing - I have reposted the video link to our company's Facebook and LinkedIn pages, further promoting the superiority of Mikrotik devices over Cisco, Sonicwall, and Watchguard for the SMB market.

It's nice to see MikroTik devices in a data center. Congratulation MT. I am promoting MT for 5 years and people are recognizing its value here in India Now.

I've sen a couple of CRR1036 in shared datacenters, used by smaller or municipal sized ISPs. Great stuff!

Congrats Mikrotik! Routing the world indeed.

That's awesome!

Nice to know. Congratulations!

Could anyone care to explain use cases for cloud routers? I get that there are cases where it is needed but I cannot think of any other than VPN.

Cloud Core Routers or Cloud Hosted Routers?

It's also a nice firewall if you want to run a DMZ in the cloud or route between VLAN's.

Also CAPsMAN and UserManager

When you are thinking of a separate cloud server that you rent at a cheap provider, that is probably correct.
But when you have a VM host somewhere in a datacenter, it can be used as a router in front of the virtual servers you run there.
(for filtering, NAT, port forward, BGP, whatever)
