Why and how to manage your network? - DEEP
All businesses now depend on IT to function. They depend on it to make sales online, make presentations remotely, collaborate online using tools in the Cloud or interact with customers, users, suppliers, partners, patients and so on.
You should therefore see your network as the backbone of your company’s business. Without it, your business would be at a standstill.
What’s more, with the rise of hybrid working, businesses need to find ways to manage the configuration of their many connected devices, which means implementing a robust network configuration manager to manage their networks efficiently.
Why is network configuration management important? How should you manage your network?
Network configuration management reduces downtime and system administrators can immediately identify changes made to the network.
One of the big advantages of network management in the Cloud is the ability to troubleshoot and configure all your devices wherever you are. Many companies have multiple sites in different locations, making it extremely difficult for network engineers to be physically present to configure devices and come to the rescue when things go wrong.
The Meraki Dashboard function helps to solve this problem, allowing IT professionals to manage devices wherever they may be.
The Meraki Dashboard is the solution: intuitive and entirely Cloud-based, it lets you control an entire network via a single interface. It is also the industry’s only all-in-one solution that manages wireless access networks (WANs), local area networks (LANs), wireless LANs and mobile devices within a single system. All this makes it possible to unify and simplify the management of your network.
The advantages of the Meraki Dashboard
Simplify your network challenges
To solve network problems, it is important to be able to view data in a way that makes it easy to understand and interpret. If your team spends more time trying to understand the meaning of network data than acting on it, using this Meraki Dashboard could make your IT team more efficient, simply because it does the tedious work for you.
The detailed information provided by the Meraki Dashboard can save your team a lot of time and stress trying to find the root cause of network problems. If you currently use third-party programs to analyse your network data, the Cisco Meraki Dashboard can also reduce these costs.
Keep your network under control
With the Meraki Dashboard, you can set your security levels and define limits and blocks for individual devices or groups of devices. Access to administration and security can also be managed differently from one user to the next, should you need to grant different authorisations and privileges. You can control who has access to your network and find out what each of your users is doing without ever leaving the Meraki Dashboard.
All your data in a single interface
The Meraki Dashboard lets you manage all your Meraki devices centrally, across multiple sites, from a single interface. Having an overview of your network makes it much easier to detect recurring problems and patterns, and to roll out configuration changes across all your devices. You can also view each network in great detail, allowing you to monitor bandwidth use by device or even by application.
Save time and money
Cisco’s Cloud-based Meraki Dashboard is a major asset. It can make life easier for your IT team, solve your network problems faster and more efficiently and, over time, reduce the total cost of your network systems.
