More and more business leaders opt for managed networking solutions like Network as a Service (NaaS). By engaging a Cisco Meraki Partner for a NaaS solution, enterprises expand geographically and boost revenue without the burden of increased expenses.
The benefit comes from bundling hardware, licensing, configuration, implementation, and co-management into one monthly expense, which is scalable to meet a company’s unique needs.
Cisco Meraki is a cloud-first networking solution that simplifies network management and monitoring by providing cloud-managed devices like access points, switches, security appliances, and cameras.
A key feature of teaming with a Cisco Meraki Partner is its cloud-based management platform. This platform allows administrators to manage and monitor their network devices from a central dashboard accessible through a web browser, which reduces the need for on-site IT expertise and complex CLI configurations.
The devices are designed for easy deployment and intuitive user interfaces, making them ideal for organizations that want a streamlined and user-friendly network management experience.
