Platform Architecture

• Cloud Networking Architecture

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

• Cloud Security & Reliability

  Cisco Meraki operates the industry's largest-scale Cloud Networking service. Cisco Meraki's cloud service powers over 18,000 networks worldwide. Cisco Meraki also has the most experience in the cloud, having run its production service continuously for five years.

  • Datacenter Design

    Cisco Meraki's service is collocated in tier-1, SAS70 type II certified datacenters. These datacenters feature state of the art physical and cyber security and highly reliable designs.

  • Out of Band Control

    Cisco Meraki's out of band control plane separates network management data from user data. Management data (e.g. configuration, statistics, monitoring, etc.) flows from Cisco Meraki devices (wireless access points and routers) to Cisco Meraki's cloud over a secure Internet connection.

  • Security Tools and Best Practices for Administrators

    In addition to Cisco Meraki's secure out of band architecture and hardened datacenters, Cisco Meraki offers a number of tools for administrators to maximize the security of their network deployments. Use of these tools provide optimal protection, visibility, and control over your Cisco Meraki network.
