Built-In Multi-Site Cloud Management

Cloud management has a number of benefits that make it easier to build networks large and small:

• Single pane of glass management of distributed switch deployments, wireless APs, and firewalls across multiple sites through the browser.
• Virtual stacking: manage up to tens of thousands of ports from a single pane of glass.
• Layer 7 OS, client, and hostname fingerprinting.
• Powerful Live Tools such as cable test to isolate physical layer issues.
• E-mail and SMS (text) alerts upon power loss, downtime, or configuration changes.
• Role-based administration and automatic, scheduled firmware upgrades over the web.
• Regular feature updates and enhancements delivered on demand from the Meraki cloud.
• No staging deployments

With cloud management, thousands of switch ports can be configured and monitored instantly, over the web. Provision remote sites without on-site IT, deploy network-wide configuration changes, and easily manage campus and distributed networks without training or dedicated staff.

Converged Voice, Video and Data Environments

The Cisco Meraki switch family is designed to unify data, voice, and video onto a single IP backbone. All Cisco Meraki switches support rich quality-of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritization.
