Why do we need Network Management when we have Meraki Dashboard?

Our solution is about bringing the right people with the right skills across your infrastructure to monitor it, manage the network respond to incidents and keep your network operating smoothly.

 

While Meraki provides excellent user interface capabilities from Meraki Cloud, having the right eyes on the environment and intelligent alerting setup with rapid response from dedicated network operations teams is really where the value comes from.

What happens when Hardware stops working?

In this scenario alerts will be triggered allowing us to inspect the network interface and run diagnostic checks to assess the problem.

 

Our expert Engineers will be able to remotely remediate most issues however in the instance that physical on-site work is required we will take the steps to manage and co-ordinate with on-site presence to carry out physical checks.

 

In the instance that it is determined that physical IPTel on-site attendance is required beyond this, for local reboots, cable jumping, we have a pool of local personnel who are able to attend site and undertake physical on-site remediation work. 

 

The uncertainty of the frequency of this issue means we have a variable cost model associated with it.

How do we manage devices of Customers who are Remotely Working?

Our managed service offering is designed to support network infrastructure; not end user devices.

 

As a result, we wouldn't be managing the end user compute devices, however we can manage the SD-WAN underpinning their secure connectivity and, in the instance we are managing their remote user Edge Appliance, that device as well.

 

We can also manage the VPNs enabling your business.
