en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ubiquiti has officially launched the UniFi Dream Machine Beast (UDM-Beast) rackmount gateway, positioned as a large enterprise-grade UniFi cloud gateway. The product features 14 network ports and two 3.5-inch drive bays, priced at $1,499.

The UDM-Beast is powered by an 8-core 2.1GHz processor based on the Arm Neoverse N2 architecture, with 16GB of system memory and 128GB SSD storage built in. Ubiquiti states the product is "inspired by data center-grade computing architecture," extending enterprise-level hardware design to a broader user base.

In terms of network performance, the UDM-Beast supports 25Gbps IPS/IDS traffic processing, can host over 750 UniFi devices simultaneously and manage 100 HD cameras, with a client capacity exceeding 7,500. The device integrates advanced firewall features, supporting zone-based, domain-based, and application-based filtering policies. Its 14 ports include two 1GbE RJ45, eight 10GbE RJ45, two 10G SFP+, and two 25G SFP28 interfaces.

The UDM-Beast supports dual-unit redundant deployment, enabling automatic failover in the event of a primary gateway failure. The device benefits from long-term software updates, which Ubiquiti says will reduce maintenance needs and lower the total cost of ownership for enterprises. A 1.3-inch touch LCM display on the front of the device shows key network status and device connection counts. The two 3.5-inch drive bays are used for building network video recorder storage.

This release of the UDM-Beast continues to expand Ubiquiti's Dream Machine product line, whose previous three generations—UDM-Pro, UDM-SE, and UDM-Pro-Max—have been widely adopted in SMB network environments. The UDM-Beast's 8-core Arm architecture and 25Gbps throughput elevate the UniFi gateway's performance tier to a higher level.
