Hi I m Gilbert, a Network Engineer and a long time user of cisco network (and collaboration) devices "traditional style"
Just getting to know Meraki, as I started working at a company where this is used a LOT.
I have seen Meraki, but never used it a lot, I guess I still need to get used to Cloud managed network devices as a whole.
I hope to become a specialist in the solutions, but first need to get convinced this is the way forward. I need to know the benefits and the drawbacks of using these solutions.
Fun fact (?) I brew my own beer!
Hello @GilbertSpoor Welcome to the Meraki community!
@GilbertSpoor : Welcome buddy
Thanks for joining Gilbert, and I hope the beer is drinkable. 🙂
it sure is 😉 I hardly buy any beers anymore
Welcome Gilbert, I think you will find that cloud managed is the way forward but I am a little biased now after using Meraki and other cloud managed systems for quite a few years now.
What type of beer do you brew? Ales, lagers?
Hey man, Thanks!
The thing with cloud based is that I need to get used to the dependencies, and it is a bit simpler than traditional IOS.
In my previous jobs I worked on many air-gapped environments, but those were more enterprise and governmental.
But more important, I brew ales usually. Triples, blond beers (belgian style), quadruples and I am brewing a Russian Imperial Stout at the moment.
Nice, I tried brewing a couple of times, the first was a lager that was only good for tipping down the drain and the second was a Cerveza which wasn't bad and was about 7% alc
Yeah Lagers are quite difficult to brew, as they require low temperatures during fermentation. never tried it though..
