Ease of Management. Managing the connections between devices and their destinations, and ensuring security while prioritizing traffic has always been challenging. In traditional environments, network administrators must be versed on many different products, using different operating systems, different portals and no true overarching management layer.

Meraki takes the complexity away by moving all the various components of a network to one portal, with a single place to apply applications and group or user policies for all your infrastructure.

Using virtual stacking up to 10, ports , projects like rolling out VLANS, updating STP or applying QoS policies becomes a couple of clicks and is applied to the selected devices instantly. Roll-out of new sites is plug and play. Meraki allows for configuration in transit, giving the IT team the ability to dropship equipment and have local hands plug it in. The equipment is then connected to the network, grabs DHCP, connects to the Meraki cloud, receives configurations, and is ready for use.

Meraki Security. Regardless of the industry, data security is an incredibly important, but often neglected, component of IT. It can be incredibly challenging to choose the right solutions, apply the appropriate policies, design the physical layout, and maintain critical patches while maintaining the performance users expect. For those on the Meraki platform, these challenges are laughable. Managing and applying content filtering across all devices is a dropdown menu, giving you granular control over what is blocked for who and when.

Rolling out patches is automated, improving the average of days for patch application to less than 10 hours. That gives Cisco Meraki an edge over competitors that have retrofitted on-premise solutions to the cloud.

Anywhere, Anytime Network Access As businesses seek to accommodate an increasingly mobile workforce, the ability to access solutions while working from home or on the go is crucial. One of the most significant benefits of cloud networks is that you can access them from anywhere, as long as you have an Internet connection.
