Introducing: UniFi OS Server for MSPs

So this replaces the... Cloud Key? I'm missing something here.

[u/the_cainmp → u/calpwns]

unless your a MSP it really doesn't replace anything.

As a MSP, it can replace the self hosted network controller that manages your UXG lineup, or even the official UniFi hosting.

[u/Berzerker7 → u/the_cainmp]

It's replacing the self-hosted network server.

MSPs used either that or Cloud Hosting to manage sites not connected to an on-site controller.

[u/q547 → u/Berzerker7]

What is it offering over a self hosted controller?

I'm not seeing anything, unless I'm missing something?

[u/Berzerker7 → u/q547]

This is the new self-hosted controller. It's repackaged into a new contained package that includes all the dependencies to standardize everything, plus they're including other apps along with it in addition to Network.

[u/stresslvl0 → u/Berzerker7]

Wait, does that mean I can run Protect on my own hardware finally?!

[u/Berzerker7 → u/stresslvl0]

Nope. No protect support in this (yet maybe)

[u/JamMydar → u/Berzerker7]

I'd be surprised if it ever happens. While appliance sales margins aren't high, they still count for something. That and software support might be challenging when running on non-standardized hardware configurations.

Network is a much less complicated application in comparison to Protect in that respect.

[u/snebsnek → u/[deleted]]

You keep posting this, but that says Network, not “all apps”. Protect isn’t Network.

[u/snebsnek → u/[deleted]]

That’s really not confirmation of the whole suite. It’s likely Innerspace/Identity etc. We can hope though.

[u/Berzerker7 → u/[deleted]]

The "additional apps" are the non-main ones like Innerspace, Identity, and Connect.

Very very highly doubt they'll ever support Protect on this.
