clicks fingers And JUST like that, it looks like we might FINALLY be seeing a UniFi NAS system! I have been in and around the world of storage for well close to 2 decades and in that time I say seen a lot of things. One consistent name in network technology that has been a mainstay of the prosumer and business landscape that want pure 'Easy to Setup and Forget' tech that you can trust has been Ubiquiti and their UniFi series of devices. Yet, with such an extensive range of network hardware and software solutions, the brand has never pushed forward with their own 1st party NAS server... until now it appears! UniFi has always supported the likes of Synology and QNAP NAS systems in their network architecture, but many of those deep in the UniFi landscape have requested something proprietary, something uniform and ultimately something streamlined in a way that is largely the USP of UniFi. Numerously pieces of information (ranging from compatibility listings, to product docs and references on companion media) have bubbled to the surface in the last month or so that seem to indicate that not only that a UniFi NAS is 'a thing', but also that the brand is jumping in with both feet - launching 10GbE equipped, quad-core, desktop and rackmount solutions which are truly native to the UniFi ecosystem. So, let's discuss everything we have learnt, whether this is all legit, how it compares with the current NAS status quo and ultimately - would a UniFi NAS be a good idea?

  • @matthewnirenberg
    @matthewnirenberg20 күн бұрын

    If true then it looks cool but based on a NVR-Pro. Honestly though, I wish Ubiquiti would slow their R&D for new products and just get the current products fully integrated to the extent they've spoken about. For example, they've officially said that in a future update that the Intercom Viewer will integrate with the G4 POE doorbell with POE chime - has this happened yet? Nope. Personally I love their products however they need to just finish the things they've made public and then create new things. For a NAS solution, Synology is the go-to for rapid deployment in most SMB cases (QNAP if the HDD thing Synology did is an issue), I say this as there's a hell of a lot of work to create a comparable NAS unless Ubiquiti were to either licence an OS from Synology or QNAP or unless they got permission to deploy TrueNAS (or a fork of it).

  • @ApexOneTech
    @ApexOneTech25 күн бұрын

    I personally like the Synology DSM solution. Very complete. However, you're totally right: a NAS solution from Unifi would be different than others: simple to setup and will just work. Kinda like Protect. That would be sweet. Simple deployment. Central management. Synology DSM does have some business solutions built-in, like M365 and Backup for Business are great to have for a full business solution. I'm guessing UniFi won't have that. At least not on their first version.

I'm interested in the desktop NAS from Ubiquiti, but if my UCGU has to be able to run whatever software is needed for it and that device can't do it, I'd probably opt for Synology before I'd upgrade my Unifi gear.

  • @CarlRyds
    @CarlRyds25 күн бұрын

    As someone who’s looking to run a UniFi network and so far has been looking at Synology for a NAS to go with it, this is very interesting. However, DSM is so far along, could Ubiquity really get all those ducks in a row, Photo App, Video Station, Plex support, Docker, etc, etc. I’m not sure they will go down the “open” road, and it’ll be more for basic file storage and a place to put UniFi camera footage.

    Realisticaly, if Ubiquiti rolled out a NAS, bailing down the fundamentals (object storage, tiered backups, worm, snapshots, secure shares, etc) would have to be the priority. Then, maybe gauge interest and uptake, and go for there. But again, we'd ga e to wait and see

    This has been one of the worst kept secrets. And it probably will include the same form factor and tech from the NVR Pro. That will make it cheaper to manufacture since they are already making this. Since the CPU and memory are fairly pedestrian ARM embedded chips that Unifi uses everywhere, I'm thinking the device will be limited to file service and related functions but don't expect to be doing VMs or anything sophisticated. Whether they open APIs to run third party apps is anyone's guess.

    I'd assume the same as a UniFi user. I'm not especially deep in UniFi with my own setup (mine is a hodge podge of different systems) but I assume they would target a "do 5 things exceptionally well, instead of 50 things good-ish", focusing on fundamentals. But again, impossible to say

    I think that Ubiquiti have enough on their plate meeting the demands of the customers for their current products. They've been far too laid back in reacting to demands from customers for minor improvements, or even major gaps in functionality - such as a softphone for their VOIP system. They also have the habit of launching a product and then losing interest and dropping it a while later. A NAS makes sense for them, but I'd prefer that the focus on what they're best at. Switches, access points, CCTV, entry systems, phones and now NAS? They're in danger of spreading themselves too thin. I'm using Synology NAS, who have also ventured into wifi and networking and CCTV. Why does everyone want to try do to everything rather than focusing on their core strengths. Apple used to make printers, but they stopped because it's not their core business and they're better off letting someone else sell those.

    Very true (and a casual crawl of reddit definitely supports this POV), but there's also users who wouldn't like their surveillance system, their backup target and their file sharing all conducted from the same bare metal system. That's the bugger for Ubiquiti/UI/UniFi on developing a NAS...so, so many sub sets of the audience to please

    Hmm, feels a wee bit a Me-too product to me but I'm not that into Ubiquiti eco-system, so I could be wrong. My concern is that the specialist-knowledge required for NAS is more & more watered down by just everybody (pun intended) bringing out a NAS. (too) If I was Ubiquiti, I would seek partnership instead with a industry-leading NAS company. Feels like reinventing the round wheel and sliced-bread again, to me. I know one thing for sure, it will be Ubiquiti pricing, so quire expensive...

    BTW, this particular topic has come-up before on the Uni-forums. As far back as 4 years ago, I found multiple times. It is a subject that comes back once so often, maybe Ubiquiti finally caved and went to the drawingboard? I do get the impression the majority of Uni users are not really that anxious for such a solution. Pretty much in the same line as my initial comment; sticking with what you are good at. From the Reddit forum I get the impression that it is old information (old logo, old design etc etc) that has been regurgitated. Again, I'm not that much into the Ubiquiti eco-system (way too expensive for my taste, their software is so-so and their Support ...) but I do not expect this to be earth-moving. But for all those Ubiquiti users out there, of course I do hope I'm wrong!
