Ubiquiti UDM-BEAST UniFi Dream Machine Beast 25 Gbps IPS/IDS Cloud Gateway

The Ubiquiti UDM-BEAST (UniFi Dream Machine Beast) is a hyperscale-class 1U rack-mount Cloud Gateway that consolidates enterprise-grade networking, security, and surveillance management into a single system. Powered by an octa-core ARM v9 processor at 2.1 GHz with 16 GB of system memory and a 128 GB integrated SSD, the UDM-BEAST delivers 25 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput, supports 7,500+ simultaneous clients, and manages 750+ UniFi devices without per-seat licensing fees. It runs the complete UniFi application suite including Network, Protect, Access, Talk, and Connect, making it the single pane of glass for large-scale enterprise and campus deployments.

The UDM-BEAST features an extensive port layout with 2 x 25G SFP28, 2 x 10G SFP+, 8 x 10 GbE RJ45, and 2 x 1 GbE RJ45 ports, supporting up to 8 WAN connections for multi-WAN load balancing and failover. Advanced security capabilities include a stateful firewall, application-aware Layer 7 firewall, deep packet inspection, zone-based filtering, content filtering, ad blocking, and 55,000+ IPS/IDS signatures via CyberSecure. VPN support covers Site Magic, IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard, L2TP, and Teleport zero-configuration VPN. Two 3.5 inch NVR HDD bays with a built-in 128 GB SSD enable local camera footage storage through UniFi Protect, supporting up to 100 HD, 60 2K, or 40 4K cameras. Shadow Mode (VRRP) gateway failover and DC power backup input provide enterprise-class redundancy.
