![]() ![]() Though it is a massive oversimplification, you can generally think of a switch like a power strip for your network. The last piece of hardware that you may need to add to your network are additional switches. This processor is the reason the UDM Pro can examine all of your network traffic and check for malicious activity while maintaining 3.5 gigabits per second of throughput, compared to the USG who’s dual core 500 megahertz processor can only muster 85 megabits of throughput with Intrusion Prevention enabled. In fact, the dream machine pro did away with all the fancy hardware offloading that their old USG routers used to do and tackles all your routing using a quad core ARM processor running at 1.7 gigahertz. While it’s nice that these dream machine packages come at a slightly lower price than getting each piece of equipment separately the real reason to choose a dream machine or dream machine pro is the fact that they are equipped with much faster processors than the old UniFi security gateway which enables them it to run security related software like Deep Packet Inspection and Intrusion Prevention Systems that we’ll talk about in part 2, without crippling your network’s throughput speed. But in 2020 UniFi released the dream machine and dream machine pro, which combine the router and firewall, with an 8 port switch, a controller, and in the case of the non-pro model a wireless access point. ![]() In the UniFi lineup each part was a separate piece of equipment as of my 2019 videos, and even required an additional component called the controller that is used to manage and send configurations to each unifi device, which is called provisioning. ![]()
