SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cisco Meraki,
Cisco's (NASDAQ: CSCO) industry-leading cloud-managed IT platform,
today launches Meraki Go, a complete line of cloud managed
networking products specifically designed to help independent
businesses with no IT team transform to better meet the needs of
customers and employees. The new Meraki Go network switches and
security gateway with an optional security subscription, powered by
Cisco Umbrella, are available today on meraki-go.com.
Meraki Go marries Cisco's industry-leading networking hardware,
with the power of the cloud, to provide businesses with simple,
secure, and mobile app-based control over their network, as well as
information-rich business insights.
"The internet has become as critical as having water and
electricity, costing businesses dearly in lost sales and customers
if it's slow or loses connectivity," said Lee Peterson, Product Manager for Meraki Go.
"Every investment a business makes needs to work harder and do
more, and Meraki Go provides high performance business networking,
plus visibility, control, insights, and analytics that allow owners
to make business decisions confidently."
Meraki Go hardware is managed from the user-friendly Meraki Go
mobile app, and is deployed via an easy installation process, which
takes less than 10 minutes and requires no prior IT experience. The
suite of products includes WiFi access points, network switches,
and a security gateway with an optional security subscription for
increased protection that's effortless. This means that no matter
the type or location, businesses can leverage Meraki Go and start
adding value instantly.
This is not the typical enterprise networking solution – Meraki
Go understands that every business is personal, unique, and looking
to stand out from the competition. Everything about these products
is designed to be DIY and make businesses better. With built-in,
step-by-step visual instructions on how to get started, a technical
support team that can be contacted from within the app, and
analytics to enable increased revenue and efficiency, Meraki Go is
a business's secret weapon. On-site or on the go, being cloud-based
and app-managed means businesses stay protected from
vulnerabilities with automatic updates. Access to the Meraki Go App
and technical support are all provided at no extra cost.
Businesses can help put a stop to poor user experiences,
underperforming apps, and guests leaving bad user reviews. With
Meraki Go, business critical services like email, accounting, and
point of sale can be prioritized over less critical applications,
like streaming HD videos or downloading software updates. In
real-time, businesses can see which of these applications and
devices are consuming the most data, and then set limits on them,
ensuring other users aren't impacted. Rather than having to
constantly monitor activity, network notifications are
automatically sent to the Meraki Go mobile app, alerting the
business if heavy usage is detected or if the internet connection
drops, allowing customers to make adjustments before the business
is negatively impacted.
"We're excited to deliver enterprise-grade hardware, powerful
cloud technology, and optional cyber threat protection backed by
Cisco, the world's largest cyber-security company," said Peterson.
"These are the same technologies used by Fortune 500 companies, now
available, affordable, and simple to install for all
businesses."
