• Cloud-managed, Secure SD-WAN for fast, reliable connectivity - The MX95-HW leverages Meraki's Secure SD-WAN to optimize traffic across multiple WAN links. With automatic path selection, application-aware routing, and site-to-site VPN, your branch offices stay connected with minimal IT overhead. The solution centralizes configuration in the Meraki Dashboard, reducing manual work and enabling rapid deployment across many locations. Built-in failover and per-application QoS ensure critical business traffic stays responsive even when network conditions change.
• Zero-touch deployment and centralized management - Deploy new sites quickly using Meraki's zero-touch provisioning. The MX95-HW auto-detects in the cloud, pulls down policies, and applies configurations from the Dashboard, allowing IT teams to scale to dozens or hundreds of locations without on-site visits. This centralized model provides consistent experiences across all sites, with changes, firmware updates, and security policies rolled out from a single pane of glass. Role-based access and audit trails further streamline multi-site administration.
• Integrated security and threat protection - Secure SD-WAN Plus goes beyond connectivity by delivering a robust security stack directly on the appliance. Expect built-in firewall capabilities, intrusion prevention, malware protection, and content filtering. Security events, alerts, and analytics are exposed in the Meraki Dashboard, enabling proactive threat detection, rapid incident response, and unified visibility across all locations. This cohesive approach helps you enforce corporate policies and safeguard users, devices, and data.
• Reliable VPN, WAN failover, and performance optimization - The MX95-HW supports strong IPsec VPN connectivity, multiple WAN interfaces, and automatic failover to maintain uninterrupted access for remote users and sites. With intelligent routing, you can prioritize essential applications—such as voice, video, and CRM traffic—over less critical workloads. This results in enhanced user experiences for branch staff and customers, even under variable bandwidth conditions. The solution scales as you add sites or services, maintaining consistent performance with centralized policy management.
• Scalability, licensing, and ongoing support - This package includes 1 license for Meraki Secure SD-WAN Plus and 1 year of support. The Meraki platform simplifies license management and ensures you receive firmware updates, feature enhancements, and access to official Meraki support during the license period.
