Solution

Having been a client of Natilik’s for over ten years, throughout which period has used Meraki’s networking technology to provide a global solution to connect its people, data and applications.

Currently, the client uses Meraki MX devices for its routing and Meraki access points for its wireless, both of which provide a reliable network that enables their business to run smoothly. The solution is underpinned by a Natilik Managed Service that helps to increase the network reliability whilst reducing troubleshooting, maintenance and day-to-day management, freeing up the client’s team to focus on more impactful projects.

Evolution

As the business has evolved over the last ten years, the Meraki solution from Natilik has not only been able to accommodate changes but has enabled them. The addition of Meraki sensors and cameras to monitor restricted areas across its global locations has been one of these and shows the versatility of the Meraki portfolio, all managed through a single pane of glass.

Throughout the partnership, sustainability has been, and continues to be, a key consideration of how the client operates, which is something the Meraki solution complements and will have played a part in the firm achieving carbon neutrality since 2019. From power-down functions on APs to zero-touch provisioning helping to negate the need to travel, all these features contribute to the client achieving its sustainability goals.

  • The simplicity of controlling the networking estate through a single pane of glass
