At Rhino Australia, we have one of the largest stocks of Cisco Meraki products, accessories, and licenses in Australia. This disruptive technology allows administrators to manage their network architecture completely from the cloud in a simple and easy way. In this article we will review the benefits of using Cisco Meraki solutions in a business network.
A Disruptive Technology
Meraki technology was developed in MIT in 2006 and was acquired by Cisco in 2012. The acquisition by Cisco allowed this incredible technology to be delivered via a robust global infrastructure, which in combination with its equipment and distributed data centres all over the world, has given rise to a cloud architecture solution that allows users to manage their wireless access points, security appliances, network switches, security cameras and WAN devices in a simple way.
Cisco Meraki technology allows companies and organisations to manage all their network devices remotely and intuitively, thanks to the control dashboard portal in the cloud. Users who purchase Cisco Meraki products and licenses have full access to a graphical interface portal, which allows them to manage their devices 24 x 7.
From the portal, network administrators can control all the parameters of each device, as well as fully manage the network infrastructure. This is very important, since in the event of a minor failure, an administrator can gain access to inspect or test the equipment, without having to physically go to the location where the products are installed.
Full Control of the Network via an Online Portal
In this world of global hacking and network attacks, having secure network architecture is very important for companies and organisations since all sensitive data travels through these network devices. With Cisco Meraki technology, administrators no longer have to worry about using complicated dashboards or CLIs to manage the network. Instead, an intuitive dashboard has been designed and incorporated that allows you to manage everything from an easy-to-use graphical interface.
Undoubtedly, this is a great advantage since it’s possible to manage any network parameter directly on the screen without having to understand and know complex command prompts. This flexibility makes Cisco Meraki equipment ideal for any type of organisation; small, medium, or large.
The Cisco Meraki dashboard is accessible from any browser, allowing quick access to the user interface to start managing the network. From a redundancy point of view, the company has data centres distributed in various countries around the world, so accessing the portal is always fast and efficient.
Control the Network from the Cloud
Traditionally, any network architecture had to be set up and managed locally. This issue has several drawbacks since the configurations and updates must be completed at the physical location. Another problem that arises in this scenario is when a piece of equipment fails, a technician must physically go to the client site to review and solve the defect.
With Cisco Meraki technology the network management aspect is different, since you can remotely access the equipment via the cloud, and perform any type of configuration, as well as troubleshooting online. This is not only a matter of increased productivity, but also translates into operational cost savings for the company. Unfortunately, if there is a complete failure, without a redundant device in place, a technician will be required to go onsite to replace the new physical device.
In addition, there are configurable parameters that might be of interest to different organisations or educational entities, such as limiting bandwidth in certain sectors, or expanding bandwidth to accommodate large file transfers like videos or audio. In larger, multi-site implementations, the portal can also provide varying access to the various sites as required.
The entire infrastructure lives in the cloud and has the highest security standards, guaranteeing the integrity of the system.
