BTI Communications Group does a solid job. From the proposal process straight through to job completion and subsequent support, everyone does exactly what they say they will. We had a solution installed at one location as a test of sorts. Based on the success of that, we are now getting ready to install at a third location.

FEATURES

SD-WAN and Next-Gen Security in One Appliance

Meraki MX combines routing, SD-WAN, and unified threat management, so a branch doesn’t need a separate firewall, VPN concentrator, and web filter.

Auto VPN site-to-site

Branches build encrypted tunnels to each other and to headquarters automatically from the dashboard, with sub-second VPN failover. Third-party IPsec peers are supported too.

SD-WAN path selection & traffic shaping

Send voice, video, and critical apps over the best-performing link, with sub-second dynamic path selection, policy-based routing, and Layer 7 traffic shaping.

Internet failover (wired + cellular)

Automatic WAN failover across dual ISPs and cellular, including MG cellular gateways, plus high availability with a warm-spare MX.

IDS/IPS powered by Snort

Detects or blocks attacks inline, using rulesets curated by Cisco Talos that the Meraki cloud keeps up to date. Advanced Security license.

Malware protection (Cisco AMP)

Inspects file downloads and blocks files Cisco’s threat cloud marks as malicious. Advanced Security license.

Content filtering by Talos
