OC200 - Upgrade Query - Virtualise / Pi / Other
Like I have lived with my OC200 for years, it's been a workhorse but I am in a bind. I run the OC200 because if the servers down etc if always gives you a hardware into the network.
It's too slow, you litterily cannot use ANY of the filtering features because the controller will bog down. So what to do? I could virtualise it in a docker/linux image, again server off no go....... I thought well maybe like a Rasperby Pi is a go etc........ not a fan of not a complete package.
I just don't understand. TPLink was catching upto Ubiquity and now I feel they are falling behind hardware wise again.
All I want is an upgraded OC200 in the same size unit. Seriously it's a dual core with 512MB RAM. We can buy smaller devices from AliExpress with 8 cores, 4-16GB RAM with M2 slots.
Why won't TP Link upgrade the OC200, doesn't fit the cloud profile plan? ......
Omada could be a powerhouse in my home it's held back by this one thing, we have many sites at work rolled out with a virtualised online controller but for me personally........ like ......... any filtering will cut my gigabit speed from like 960mbits / sec to like 200-400........ it will bog, there will be latency in online gaming etc.
Like you can get Cloud Gateway Max and Ultras now from Ubiquity at good pricing....... which do IDS processing properly at speed.
I have litterily spent tonight looking at my options with the OC200, I dont want a OC300 or OC400 as they are too big. It's a controller I want it in a small form the same size.
It annoys me. That little box could be quad to eight core with like 4-8gb of ram atleast....... It's just a matter of changing two chips........ so why won't TPLink do that?
