To clarify for anyone unfamiliar with UniFi from Ubiquiti.
The controller is the GUI that allows you to adopt new UniFi devices and manage the network devices. It's cross-platform via Java. It doesn't have to run continually, as the devices themselves hold the settings. However, continual logging does require the controller to run.
While the switches, Security Gateway and WiFi access points are managed; none of them actually have their own GUI. The can, however, all be accessed via SSH.
The Cloud Key is a POE dongle that runs the Controller software. Nice out-of-the box, plug and play option.
