MINI20
Ultra Thin. 20Gbps & Ready.
20 Gbps · 60 TB
A 5.5-pound, 1.7-inch-thin recorder for 1/10GbE capture — 20 Gbps sustained, up to 60 TB of NVMe storage, small enough to go wherever the tap is.
The MINI20, Purpose-Built for the Mission
MINI20 is an ultra-thin Ethernet capture, record and replay system with a 20 Gbps platform speed, taking 1/10GbE links on SFP+/RJ45 ports and 10GbE links on SFP+.
It runs on 12 VDC and travels in a durable carrying case, or mounts in a rack with the optional 1U kit. Hardware timestamps resolve to 4 ns (Stratum 3 compliant), with OS time synchronization by default, and enterprise NVMe storage runs from 4 TB to 60 TB with optional TCG® Opal SSC encryption-ready drives. Data offload options include two 1/10GbE RJ45 ports and two 10/25GbE SFP+/SFP28 ports, and optional in-line FPGA processing filters, merges, slices and retransmits traffic.
