The Cisco Meraki platform lets a lean IT team run an enterprise-grade network from a single, intuitive cloud dashboard — and it now brings Catalyst power to the Meraki cloud, blending IOS XE capability with Meraki simplicity.
One dashboard, the whole network
| Layer | Product | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Security & SD-WAN | MX | Firewall, IDS/IPS, SD-WAN, and a path to SASE via Secure Connect. |
| Switching | MS / Cloud-managed Catalyst | Advanced routing (BGP, VRF Lite), StackWise Virtual HA — managed from the Meraki dashboard. |
| Wireless | MR | Wi-Fi 6/6E with cloud RF optimization and seamless roaming. |
| Cameras & Sensors | MV / MT | Smart spaces, IoT monitoring, and physical security — same dashboard. |
| Endpoint MDM | Systems Manager | Mobile device and endpoint management without a separate MDM platform. |
Best of both worlds
With cloud management for Catalyst (IOS XE 17.18+), you get enterprise features — advanced routing, sub-second failover, and the emerging Campus Cloud Fabric with BGP-EVPN and micro-segmentation — all visible in the Meraki dashboard. No separate Catalyst Center required for most SMB and mid-market deployments.
Why it works for lean teams: you don't need a room full of specialists. IDENETY manages the full stack — provisioning, firmware, security policy, and monitoring — so you get enterprise outcomes with predictable monthly cost. See our Meraki lifecycle and license renewal guide to understand the co-term model and avoid surprise renewals.
