Product overview
Cisco Meraki MX75-HW is a next-generation SD-WAN edge and cloud-managed firewall designed and engineered to serve busy offices in branches and in schools and healthcare/retail locations. It integrates Layer 7 application visibility, threat prevention, content filtering, and site-to-site/client VPN into a single, simple to install appliance - fully controlled through the Meraki dashboard. Zero-touch provisioning and policy templates allow you to create a set of security and networking uniformly across a large number of locations, with a little hand time.
In addition to security, the MX75 has the ability to optimize performance of multi-WAN, apply application-aware pathing, failover, and traffic shaping. Flexible port layout including special WAN and many LAN interfaces makes segmentation easy to users, server, IoT and visitor network. High-availability pairing ensures services are online when services are undergoing maintenance or downtime, and more detailed analytics and reporting will provide you with a clear view into user experience and risk.
