partaker H2 firewall appliance i7-1255U 8GB 256GB

Compact 2.5G firewall appliance

The Partaker H2 is a desktop network-security device built around an Intel Core i7-1255U processor with ten cores and twelve threads reaching 4.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB NVMe SSD, and provides six Intel 2.5G Ethernet ports for high-throughput routing, VPN or intrusion-prevention workloads. The fan-cooled aluminium chassis is rated for continuous operation in temperatures up to 50 °C.

Verify WAN capacity and expansion needs

Confirm that your internet uplink can use 2.5G links and that the six RJ-45 ports match the number of network segments you plan to isolate. The board offers one M.2 2280 NVMe slot and one 2.5-inch SATA bay for additional storage, plus an M.2 2230 E-key and an M.2 3052 B-key if you intend to add Wi-Fi or 4G/5G modules later. Ensure the 12 V DC input matches your power infrastructure.

Fits headless racks or desktop monitoring

The 186 x 126.5 x 66 mm enclosure sits on a shelf or mounts in a compact rack space, drawing only 15 W TDP so it leaves headroom on a shared UPS. Dual video outputs (DP 1.4a and HDMI 2.1) allow local console access or dashboard display without a separate KVM, while three USB 3.1 Gen 2 and three USB 2.0 ports support external logging drives or hardware tokens. The COM port gives direct serial management for lights-out administration.
