MX85 Features

Cloud Managed Architecture

Meraki MX85 Ghana is 100% cloud-managed solution for unified threat management (UTM) and SD-WAN in a single appliance. Meraki SD-WAN appliances self-provision, automatically pulling policies and configuration settings from the cloud. Powerful remote-management tools provide network-wide visibility and control, and enable administration without the need for on-site networking expertise. Besides, cloud services deliver seamless firmware and security signature updates, automatically establish site-to-site VPN tunnels, and provide 24×7 network monitoring. Moreover, the MX’s intuitive browser-based management interface removes the need for expensive and time consuming training.

Highly Secure

The Cisco Meraki MX85 Ghana platform has an extensive suite of security features, including IDS/IPS, content filtering, web search filtering, anti-malware, geo-IP-based firewalling, IPsec VPN connectivity, and Cisco Advanced Malware Protection, while providing the performance required for modern, bandwidth-intensive networks. Layer 7 fingerprinting technology lets administrators identify unwanted content and applications, and prevents recreational apps like BitTorrent from wasting precious bandwidth.
