Use cases

One board in place of a switch, a recorder and a small server. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Interceptor use cases

Five SATA ports, up to 16 PoE+ ports and your choice of compute module on one board.

A NAS that also powers your PoE devices

Five SATA ports and a Gigabit switch on one board, plus PoE+ for cameras, access points or sensors when you add one or two Interceptor PoE Boards.

  • Five SATA III ports with hot-plug
