Built-In Multi-Site Cloud Management

The Cisco Meraki MS is the industry’s first cloud managed switch, combining the benefits of cloud based centralized management with a powerful, reliable access platform. 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

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.
