Cloud Networking Architecture.An Integrated Networking Platform Built for Management.

What is Cloud Networking?

How it Works.

KEY BENEFITS � Rapid deployment with self-provisioning, self-optimising hardware

� Control applications, users and devices

� Built-in multi-site management

� Automatic monitoring and alerts

� Future proof and always up to date, with seamless over-the-web firmware updates and new features delivered quarterly

Cloud Networking provides centralised management, visibility, and control without the cost and complexity of controller appliances or overlay management software.

Cisco Meraki products are built from the ground up for cloud management, and come out of the box with centralised management, layer 7 device and application visibility, real time web-based diagnostics, monitoring, reporting, and much, much more. Cisco Meraki deploys quickly and easily, without training or proprietary command line interfaces.

Meraki’s founders invented Cloud Networking while working as graduate students at M.I.T. Cisco Meraki now has a complete line of cloud networking products that power over 20,000 customer networks, including massive global deployments with tens of thousands of devices.

The National Gallery

CASE STUDY

HIGHLIGHTS

Fourth most visited art museum in the world deploys Cisco Meraki 802.11ac WiFi

WiFi configured for visitors, corporate devices, and ticketing scanners

Graphical representation of footfall across the museum included at no extra cost

Founded in 1824, The National Gallery has grown to be the fourth most visited art museum in the world, welcoming in excess of 6 million visitors every year. Located in the heart of London in prominent Trafalgar Square, the Gallery employs approximately 600 staff in a wide range of capacities to care for the collection of over 2,300 paintings.

Prior to the autumn of 2013, there was no WiFi access across The National Gallery apart from some unmanaged, ad-hoc APs used during events. “Various departments were coming to us saying they couldn’t implement certain initiatives without wireless connectivity, and we were seeing demand from staff members with corporate devices such as laptops and tablets,” said Stuart Ewins, IS Systems Manager at The National Gallery.

Meraki clearly stood apart from other vendors. “Meraki’s tender responses were very easy to interpret,” said Ewins. “With Meraki we were able to simply calculate a predictable cost for the deployment with all inclusive licensing per wireless access point, as opposed to what we’d received from other vendors where licensing was based on the number of users.” The Cisco Meraki enterprise license is simply one per Cisco Meraki hardware device with no limitation on the number of users. The license includes all available

features from day one, and new features are regularly added at no cost or complexity via seamless over-the-web firmware updates.

Meraki was shortlisted and The National Gallery was provided a demonstration of the web-based dashboard. “Ease of management was one of our key requirements, but we hadn’t really quantified this,” Ewins explained. The dashboard allows intuitive configuration of SSIDs and Layer-7 monitoring of clients and applications of Cisco Meraki devices from anywhere in the world. “When we saw the Meraki dashboard, it blew our minds – it now sets a new standard of what ease of management means!” said Ewins.

Cisco Meraki was unanimously selected as The National Gallery’s wireless vendor. “The effortless plug-and-play deployment combined with the Cisco Meraki dashboard allowed us to make a decision in Meraki’s favour easily,” said Ewins.

Easy to Deploy, Manage, & Troubleshoot.Offering true zero-touch provisioning, Meraki switches can be pre-staged and configured entirely from a web browser. The Meraki management experience accelerates and simplifies the work of the network engineer.

Troubleshooting network issues, especially on remote locations, can significantly add to the cost of running this mission critical service. Meraki switches provide groundbreaking tools for remote troubleshooting, so that scaling a Meraki network need not mean scaling complexity.

Configure thousands of ports, all at once.Meraki pioneered the concept of Virtual Stacking, enabling the management of up to thousands of ports simultaneously, regardless of the physical location of switches. Simply choose a common characteristic, perhaps ports tagged ‘VoIP’, search by that tag, then edit each port to define settings appropriate for IP telephony, such as Voice VLAN or PoE.

Meraki offers so much more than just cloud managed 802.11ac wireless to your business. Meraki Switches provide performance, true zero-touch cloud provisioning, network visibility, and remote troubleshooting to deployments of any size.

Cloud Managed Security CamerasWith built-in analytics tools.

Meraki offers so much more than just cloud managed 802.11ac wireless to your business the MV family brings Meraki magic to the video security world. Impossibly simple to deploy, configure, and manage, both the MV21 and MV71 provide reliable security at any scale.

Anytime, Anywhere.Stream local, stream remote. View customisable video walls from anywhere in the world using the Meraki dashboard in a web browser.

Automatic Network Detection.The Meraki dashboard will automatically detect whether the viewing computer is in the local network or somewhere remote. Local streaming video never goes to the cloud, saving bandwidth, while remote streaming video is proxied through the cloud allowing it to be viewed from anywhere.

Built for Simplicity.MV cameras come with everything needed for a successful deployment in the box. Add cameras to a network before they even arrive, and adjust focus, aperture, and zoom settings remotely.

• 128GB industrial grade solid state storageon each device

• 720p HD recording with H.264 encoding

• IR illumination for nighttime security upto 30m (98ft)

• 3-10mm vari-focal lens formultipurpose deployments

• 3 year warranty on all hardware

Cutting Edge Architecture.Each MV camera comes with integrated, ultra reliable, industrial-grade storage. This cutting edge technology allows the system to efficiently scale to any size because the storage expands with the addition of each camera. Plus, administrators can rest easy knowing that even if the network connection cuts out, the cameras will continue to record footage.
