Best Fit & Recommended For
Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro)
The Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) is the 1U rack-mount enterprise UniFi gateway — 3.5 Gbps IDS/IPS routing, integrated UniFi Network controller, and optional UniFi Protect / UniFi Access integration. If the panel room already has a 19-inch rack, this slides into 1U and runs the gateway, the controller, and IDS/IPS from one box.
