Have you wondered how to manage devices from the cloud and improve security on every device connected to your network? Is it possible to create a secure connection to a specific destination from Meraki access points?
Cisco Meraki MDM (Mobile Device Management) is the only solution that provides unified management of mobile devices, Macs, PCs, and the entire network from a centralized dashboard. It enforces device security policies, deploys software and applications, and performs live remote troubleshooting across thousands of managed devices.
Meraki access points can also be configured to concentrate traffic at a single point, either for layer 3 roaming or teleworker use cases with a concentrator, using the same Meraki Auto VPN technology. Wireless access points must be concentrated on a Meraki MX security appliance.
Use case
The main function of Cisco Meraki MDM is mobile device management. The solution is designed to handle a complexity that is now part of both our personal and working environments. In any business (and in any home, too) there is permanently more than one device connected to the network — sometimes dozens or hundreds — and they are not always of the same type, a diversity that keeps growing with IoT. What does not change are user expectations (speed, security for data and devices, high-capacity networks), and managing that complexity must not come at the expense of performance. That is where Meraki MDM comes in.
