customer want higher security, visibillity and control. Savings on cost of MPLS could be an option. 1. Customer has MPLS in most branches, and in some Internet/VPN based on routers. 2. All sites get MX - sec licens for AMP/IPS ofc. 3. 2 main sites get MX400 - sec licens Since QoS on MPLS is nessesary right now, customer wont change it. Instead MPLS lines in the same country is replaced with internet, and SD-WAN from smaller sites to one "main" site. From the country main site, MPLS with QoS connects to the 2 main datacenters. Should the "main site" in country X fail, small sites will connect directly to MX400 in the datacenters. Customers gets: * Higher security, IPS/AMP * HA based on MPLS Hub/spoke, but with fallback if main MPLS lines fail (no QoS though) - and 4G backup as well, not possible before * Full visibility of their user, world wide, big issue solved. * Umbrella on top of Meraki, and for clients going offsite. Customer now understands the importance of security and control, so next step is AMP for end points for all clients. Wireless replacement from X to Meraki in storage and offices - and a plan for replacing all switches with MS. The meraki story was perfect for this customer. A small IT department, but with visions. But with over 20 locations world wide, and 3 guys to manage, those visions was just not possible - Meraki solved this 🙂
