UniFi has always championed personal hardware and software ownership, along with industry leading simplicity. With the new UniFi OS Server, now in Early Access, managed service providers and enterprise teams can self-host the control plane for their full UniFi Network stack on their own server hardware, while still having access to UniFI’s seamless cloud connectivity if desired.
UniFi OS Server
Self‑hosted software package that delivers UniFi Network, and soon additional applications in the UniFi ecosystem, from a single install.
- Runs the entire UniFi Network application suite in one containerized stack.
- Scales to serve many customer sites from a central footprint.
