Hybrid Cloud Controller

The UniFi Cloud Key UC-CK is a hardware appliance that runs a local instance of the UniFi Controller software while enabling secure remote access through cloud Single Sign-On. It is designed for network administrators who want centralised management of UniFi devices without relying solely on a cloud-hosted platform.

PoE Powered Appliance

The unit draws power from an 802.3af PoE connection, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and simplifying placement near a managed switch. Its compact form factor allows it to sit unobtrusively in a rack, on a shelf, or mounted in a wiring closet alongside other network gear.

Local-to-Cloud Upgrade

This device replaces a software controller running on a dedicated PC or server, removing the overhead of maintaining an always-on host machine. The jump is worthwhile when an organisation needs continuous controller uptime, hybrid cloud convenience, and a purpose-built appliance that installs in minutes.
