Ubiquiti UDM-BEAST RB Dream Machine Beast 25 Gbps Cloud Gateway Rebox
Overview
The Ubiquiti UDM-BEAST RB is the reboxed version of the UniFi Dream Machine Beast, a rack-mounted cloud gateway designed for large-scale UniFi deployments. The Dream Machine Beast combines routing, security, network management, Protect, Access, Talk, and Connect applications in a single 1U system. Ubiquiti specifies 25 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput, support for 750+ managed UniFi devices, and capacity for 7,500+ simultaneously connected users.
Networking and Connectivity
The UDM-Beast provides high-speed Ethernet and fiber interfaces for multi-WAN and high-capacity network deployments. Its default WAN interfaces include one 25G SFP28 port and one 10 GbE RJ45 port. The system also provides eight 10 GbE RJ45 ports, two 10G SFP+ ports, and two 25G SFP28 ports. The 10 GbE RJ45 interfaces support 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M Ethernet speeds.
Routing, Security, and VPN
The gateway provides stateful and application-aware Layer 7 firewall functions, DPI and traffic identification, zone-based firewall controls, intrusion prevention and detection, advanced NAT, customizable DHCP, IPv6 ISP support, OSPF, BGP, advanced QoS, multicast DNS, and policy-based WAN and VPN routing. VPN capabilities include Site Magic, IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard, and L2TP, with both VPN server and client functionality supported.
UniFi Application Platform and Storage
The UDM-Beast runs the full UniFi application suite, including Network, Protect, Access, Talk, and Connect. For surveillance storage, it provides two 3.5-inch NVR HDD bays and an integrated 128 GB SSD. Ubiquiti specifies support for up to 100 HD cameras, 60 2K cameras, or 40 4K cameras within its stated Protect capacity.
High Availability and Power
The system supports Shadow Mode using VRRP for gateway failover and provides a USP-RPS DC input for power backup. The primary power source is an internal AC/DC power supply accepting 100–240V AC, while the DC backup input accepts 11.5V DC. Maximum power consumption is specified at 100W.
Key Features
- 25 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput
- 750+ managed UniFi device capacity and 7,500+ simultaneous users
- 25G SFP28, 10G SFP+, and multi-gigabit RJ45 connectivity
- Full UniFi application suite with integrated 128 GB SSD and two 3.5-inch NVR bays
- Shadow Mode VRRP gateway failover with USP-RPS DC backup input
Applications
The UDM-Beast is designed for high-density UniFi environments requiring integrated routing, security, network management, surveillance, and other UniFi applications in a rack-mounted platform. Its interface density and 25 Gbps IDS/IPS capability support large enterprise, campus, and high-capacity data infrastructure deployments.
DC Supplies Product Note
The supplied part number includes the RB suffix, which distributor listings identify as the reboxed version of the UDM-Beast. The underlying hardware specifications correspond to Ubiquiti's current Dream Machine Beast documentation. Buyers should therefore verify that their procurement requirements accept reboxed inventory when the RB designation is specifically required.
