01 · What it is

Cisco Meraki, made clear.

Meraki is the network administered from the cloud: APs, switches, firewalls and cameras are configured from the dashboard, they switch themselves on (zero-touch) and they're all visible together — a hundred sites as one. For those with branches, stores or scattered sites it's the end of trips for a reboot.

Zero-touch
the new branch: you ship the box, it powers on, it configures itself
1 dashboard
the whole network of all the sites: status, clients, anomalies
Full-stack
Wi-Fi, switches, firewall, SD-WAN, cameras: one family, one console

The Meraki cloud dashboardthe centralized brain
Templates & APIsscale without copy-paste
The distributed network, governed by one

Site templates

The standard branch defined once: number 51 is born identical to 50, in minutes.

Pragmatic SD-WAN

Two internet lines and automatic VPNs: the resilient branch without MPLS.

Visibility that solves

Who's connected, what apps they use, where it's slow: remote troubleshooting, with facts.

Governed licenses

The subscription model is planned: expirations and renewals in our calendar, not as a surprise.

03 · In depth

Cloud-managed: simplicity as architecture

Meraki manages from the cloud switches (MS), Wi-Fi (MR), security/SD-WAN (MX), cameras (MV) and IoT (MT): the multi-site dashboard applies templates to hundreds of stores, the firmware updates itself in windows, the APIs open up automation; the MVs record on-board (no NVR) with analytics; Auto VPN stitches the sites together in one click; the license includes support and hardware replacement.

  • Template multi-sede — a hundred stores, one configuration: the rollout in days
  • Firmware gestito — updates scheduled from the cloud: the fleet always current
  • Auto VPN — the mesh between sites in one click: SD-WAN without ceremony
  • MV without NVR — on-board recording and analytics: video surveillance simplified
  • API — everything automatable: Meraki as a platform, not just a dashboard
  • MT sensors — temperature, doors, water: the environment monitored with the same console

05 · Use cases

Where it really pays off.

Retail and chains

Stores switched on in series, managed remotely.

Multi-site SMBs

The enterprise network without the enterprise team.

Smart offices

Presence, sensors and cameras on the same platform.

A hundred sites mustn't be a hundred labors: Meraki from the dashboard, with our NOC behind.
