Every Dream Machine so far asked you to choose: convenience or capacity. The Beast refuses. It keeps the all-in-one format — gateway, UniFi platform, even NVR drive bays — and lifts the ceiling to 25 Gbps of inspected throughput, 25G SFP28 WAN and 7,500+ clients. Available in Australia from ARC IP Networks, an authorised Ubiquiti reseller — see the product page for stock.
What is the UDM Beast?
The top of the Dream Machine family and the bridge to Ubiquiti's enterprise gateways. Where the UDM Pro Max serves demanding single sites, the Beast is built for the next tier: an octa-core Arm v9 engine pushing 25 Gbps through full IDS/IPS, a 25G SFP28 WAN port beside 10 GbE, and capacity for 7,500+ clients and 750+ UniFi devices. Unlike the rack-only enterprise units, it keeps the Dream Machine's defining trick — two 3.5″ NVR bays that record up to forty 4K Protect cameras right on the gateway — plus Shadow Mode failover and RPS DC backup for the sites that can't go dark.
Who it's for
Gateway, switching fabric management, cameras and access from one 1U box.
7,500+ clients covers guests at scale; NVR bays cover the cameras.
25G-ready today without stepping up to the separate-appliance EFG tier.

Frequently asked questions
The UDM Beast is Ubiquiti's hyperscale all-in-one Cloud Gateway: 25 Gbps of IDS/IPS-inspected routing, 7,500+ client capacity, management for 750+ UniFi devices, and the full UniFi application platform — including Protect recording to two built-in 3.5-inch NVR drive bays — in a single 1U unit.
It routes with full intrusion detection and prevention at 25 Gbps, using 55,000+ signatures with CyberSecure, behind a 25G SFP28 WAN port plus a 10 GbE RJ45 (expandable to 8 WAN links), driven by an octa-core Arm v9 processor with 16 GB of memory.
Yes — unlike the rack gateways above it, the Beast keeps the Dream Machine tradition: two 3.5-inch NVR drive bays record UniFi Protect directly on the gateway, supporting up to 40 4K or 100 HD cameras plus 200 Access hubs.
The Pro Max tops out around 5 Gbps of IDS/IPS with 2x10G networking; the Beast quadruples inspection throughput to 25 Gbps, moves to 25G SFP28 WAN, doubles client capacity to 7,500+, and adds Shadow Mode failover and RPS DC power backup — hyperscale features in the Dream Machine format.
