Ubiquiti has shaken up the networking world again with the introduction of UniFi OS Server — a new way to run the entire UniFi ecosystem on your own hardware. Instead of relying only on UniFi Cloud Keys, Dream Machines, or rack-mounted Consoles, you can now install UniFi OS Server on x86 or ARM machines, servers, or even virtual machines.
This change opens the door to more flexibility, scalability, and control for IT teams and businesses. But with that flexibility comes new questions about setup, management, and ongoing maintenance — and that’s where TK Tech Services can help.
What is UniFi OS Server?
UniFi OS Server is Ubiquiti’s self-hosted operating system that allows you to run the UniFi platform wherever you choose:
- On-premises servers (Windows, Linux, ARM-based devices)
- Virtual environments (VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V, etc.)
- Cloud servers for remote deployments
Why Businesses Are Excited
For SMBs, multi-site operators, and privacy-conscious organizations, UniFi OS Server has some big advantages:
- Data sovereignty – Keep your network and security data on hardware you control
- Scalability – Manage multiple sites and users without being tied to a single UniFi appliance
- Flexibility – Choose the hardware that fits your performance needs (from compact servers to enterprise-grade machines)
- Cost control – No license fees, no recurring subscriptions — just UniFi, your way
