Product Code: NSHO-005
The NSHO-005 is a high-performance 1U rackmount server built for demanding network and security workloads. It runs on the 9th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-9700 processor, delivering fast and stable performance with 8 cores and speeds up to 4.70 GHz.
This system uses Intel® AES-NI for fast data encryption and Intel® SGX for hardware-level protection. These features help keep sensitive data safe, making the NSHO-005 network appliance a strong choice for secure enterprise networks.
The NSHO-005 comes with 8 Intel i211-AT Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting PXE boot and Wake-on-LAN. It also supports 4 x SFP or 10Gig SFP+ fibre ports (optional) for high-speed and long-distance connections.
You can build multi-LAN and multi-WAN setups to separate networks, control traffic, and improve security across your infrastructure.
This rackmount server supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and 4G LTE WWAN through a SIM card and module. You can use either Wi-Fi or 4G at one time, giving you flexible and secure connectivity options for remote or backup networks.
The PICO PC® NSHO-005 network server supports up to 64GB DDR4 SODIMM memory and multiple storage options, including mSATA SSD and 2.5-inch SATA SSD or HDD drives.
For connectivity and control, it includes USB 3.0 ports, HDMI display output, and a Cisco-standard RJ45 console port. The HDMI output runs on Intel® UHD Graphics 630, making local monitoring simple.
The NSHO-005 rackmount network appliance works well for:
Firewall and UTM solutions
SD-WAN and NFV deployments
VPN servers
LAN and WAN routing
DNS and DHCP services
Intrusion detection and prevention
Load balancing
Virtualisation platforms
It supports popular systems such as pfSense, Sophos, Untangle, Linux, Unix, Windows, and Windows Server.

We are retiring PICOPC Products MNHO-073, MNHO-048 and MNHO-043 and they have reached EOL (End Of Life) as we are introducing new products with better technology. We would recommend you to look into MNHO-095. For Untangle, pfSense, OPNsense, Windows 11, Proxmox VE etc. we recommend MNHO-095 whereas for Sophos, Kerio Control and Endian, we would recommend MNHO-069. (A complete list of supported OS can be found in each product's listing)
