The Ubiquiti Dream Machine Beast is a hyperscale network gateway designed to support over 7,500 clients and 750 UniFi devices. Equipped with 25G SFP28 and 10GbE RJ45 ports, it offers 25 Gbps IPS/IDS throughput. The device includes two 3.5" HDD slots for the UniFi Protect monitoring system and supports Shadow Mode, ensuring high availability and network continuity.
Ubiquiti Dream Machine Beast – Hyperscale Network Gateway (1U)
Ubiquiti Dream Machine Beast (UDM-Beast) is a network gateway (Cloud Gateway) designed to support the most demanding infrastructures, such as large office buildings or campuses. This 1U rackmount device combines a powerful router, a switch with enormous throughput, and a hardware firewall. Because the UDM-Beast can act as a management controller, it comes with a built-in 128 GB SSD. This SSD allows the device to natively host the full UniFi application suite (Network, Protect, Access, Talk, Connect), becoming a completely self-sufficient controller for the entire network. System stability is ensured by an eight-core ARM v9 processor (2.1 GHz) supported by 16 GB of RAM. This power reserve allows for simultaneous support of over 7,500 connected clients and management of over 750 UniFi devices.
The front panel features a rich set of interfaces: two 25G fiber ports (SFP28), two 10G SFP+ ports, eight 10GbE RJ45 ports, and two Gigabit RJ45 ports. The device allows for the configuration of up to eight independent WAN ports with load balancing support (Multi-WAN Load Balancing). Implementing an integrated attack detection and blocking system (IPS/IDS) does not result in a noticeable performance penalty – the system can scan traffic at throughputs of up to 25 Gbps. This is complemented by a Layer 7 firewall (DPI), built-in DNS ad blocking, and support for dynamic routing (OSPF, BGP).
For environments requiring business continuity (High Availability), the UDM-Beast offers a Shadow Mode function based on the VRRP protocol. This allows two identical gateways to be connected – in the event of a physical failure of the first device, the backup server immediately takes over all traffic without any noticeable interruption in internet access. The device also has a built-in VPN server with support for protocols such as WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, and Site Magic.
All electronics are housed in a housing made of steel and CNC-cut aluminum. In addition to performing network functions, the device is ready to support IP surveillance. The front panel features two dedicated slots for standard 3.5" hard drives (NVR, not included) – once installed, the built-in UniFi Protect system can record images from up to 100 HD cameras or 40 cameras in 4K resolution. Power security is provided by a built-in power supply supported by an additional connector for a hardware backup power system (USP-RPS).

Yes. Dream Machine Beast supports Shadow Mode High Availability, which ensures uninterrupted connectivity by seamlessly transitioning functions and management to a backup unit in the event of a primary unit failure.
The device also has a DC backup power input. A second Dream Machine Beast is required to enable Shadow Mode, and a UniFi RPS is required for DC backup power.
Yes. Dream Machine Beast supports Site Magic SD-WAN technology, as well as WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, and Teleport Zero-Configuration VPN protocols, allowing for secure and easy remote access.
Dream Machine Beast supports up to 8 WAN connections, enabling advanced redundancy and internet load balancing.
Dream Machine Beast offers extensive security features, including an Application-Aware Layer 7 Stateful Firewall (AAF), Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS), content filtering, and ad blocking.
The console port provides direct serial access to the gateway's command-line interface (CLI). This is a crucial troubleshooting and recovery tool, allowing you to access your device even when network management is not possible.
No. The Dream Machine Beast operates as a standalone UniFi console (all-in-one), meaning the UniFi Network app runs locally on the device itself. It cannot be managed by a third-party CloudKey, official UniFi Hosting, or a dedicated UniFi OS server.
