Cisco Meraki MX85 Cloud Managed Firewall, for 19" rack, Silver

Meraki MX-85 Cloud Managed Firewall

Cisco Meraki MX Security & SD-WAN appliances are ideal for organisations considering a Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution for distributed sites, campus environments or data centre VPN concentrations. As the MX series is managed entirely via the cloud, this simplifies installation and remote management. The MX series is also equipped with extensive network services. There is therefore no need to install numerous appliances for different functions. These services include SD-WAN functions, application-based firewall functions, content filtering, web search filtering, SNORT-based intrusion detection and prevention, Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), web caching, 4G cellular failover and more. Auto-VPN and SD-WAN capabilities are available on our hardware and virtual appliances, which can be configured in Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure
