Meraki

Cloud-managed enterprise networking and IoT

Overview

Cisco Meraki provides cloud-managed IT solutions for Wi‑Fi, routing, and network security, serving schools, businesses, and hybrid workforces. It sells hardware (APs, switches, routers, security appliances), software licenses, and subscription services, all managed through a cloud platform. The platform offers a centralized dashboard with robust APIs, real-time insights, and applications to configure, monitor, and secure networks from anywhere, while IoT devices like cameras and sensors connect the physical and digital worlds. What sets Meraki apart is its fully cloud-based management model that lets administrators provision and monitor devices remotely with minimal on-site setup, backed by scalable APIs and integrated security features. Its goal is to provide scalable, secure, and easy-to-manage networking that delivers consistent performance across locations with fewer support needs.
