Easy Integration with Other Networked Devices
Meraki devices are built with enough processing power and memory that none of the administrative functions or interactions with the cloud impact performance. Settings are stored locally, so an interrupted connection also won’t impact performance. Those rules hold true for the MX64. It never slowed, even when processing large payloads of data.
Cisco data centers run the Meraki cloud management platform, so all firmware updates to Meraki devices are provided securely without any user intervention. This also allows management and policy changes though the same SSL connection that each device creates with the data center.
Once installed, the MX64 immediately joins other Meraki devices and are easily linked. For example, the MX64 quickly routed and protected a Cisco Meraki security camera’s feeds, even giving it priority access after hours when nothing else should be running at our virtual school.
It’s good for schools and smaller institutions to have an easy-to-use security device. It’s great for them to have one that integrates with other devices and includes self-configuration and easy management features. The ability to securely manage the device along with potentially thousands of others from anywhere in world further elevates the Meraki functionality. Regardless of the size of a school’s network, the Meraki cloud management software that comes with the MX64 will keep schools and classrooms protected.
