Smart-1 700-M
On-premises management for up to 50 gateways, with 8 TB of usable HDD capacity and power supplies replaceable during operation.
Overview
The Smart-1 700-M serves operations that need to centralise a larger gateway estate without moving to 7000 appliances. It offers 25 gateways in Base or 50 in Plus, with 32 or 64 GB of RAM. The two 8 TB HDDs are mirrored, and the two AC power supplies can be replaced while the appliance is running. Integrated 1/10 GbE connectivity and the optional slot allow management and log links to be adapted. Sizing must balance gateway count, log volume and enabled services. Selection criteria: Consider this model for an estate of between 25 and 50 gateways requiring 8 TB of usable storage. Prefer it to the 700-S when hot-swap power supplies and greater RAM headroom are operational requirements. Validate the log rate for the contracted configuration: the current page advertises up to 25,000 logs/s, but the February/2026 comparison table lists 22,000/20,000.
