THE
SIMPLICITY OF A FULL STACK
Simplicity. That’s the promise of technology. The more it evolves, the simpler things become for both the installers and the users. Cloud technology, for example, has certainly simplified the process of managing and updating every element of the network. Cisco Meraki has embraced cloud technology and has enlisted it in their continual efforts to simplify the IT management experience. A simplicity that it greatly enhanced with a full stack of Cisco Meraki IT products.
From MR wireless, MS switching, MX security, and MDM products, Meraki has a comprehensive portfolio of IT products perfect for any customer with a lean IT department and/or distributed network. Each of these products, be they wireless, security, switching, or mobility management feature intuitive cloud management and are outstanding in their own right. But Meraki also pays special attention to offer additional benefits when multiple Meraki product types come together.
“While each product can function independently,” says Kevin Rezai, Distribution Manager for Cisco Meraki, “the more Meraki products deployed, the more intelligent the network becomes. With the full stack of Meraki products, administrators can manage and configure their organization from edge to core, without ever leaving the Meraki Dashboard.”
Cisco Meraki’s intuitive cloud management system allows any user to easily manage client devices, applications, and content throughout their entire organization. And when coupled with Meraki product families, users can take advantage of Meraki’s integrated suite of “Sentry” features — unlocking simple, automatic security that is context aware. Just by clicking on the “Network-wide” menu, users can easily view traffic passing through all networks, any event logs and packet captures, network-wide summary reports, and more. It is also simple to configure alerts, group policies, MDM policies, etc. to be distributed through the entire network.
