Meraki's SD-Branch streamlines Branch management and operations by separating the network hardware from its control mechanism. This separation leads to quicker deployment of network changes at branches, with a substantial decrease in manual configuration through effective automation and orchestration. The adoption of SD-Branch can result in nearly a 50% reduction in costs compared to traditional solutions, as central management significantly lowers operational expenses (OPEX). Employing application-centric policies facilitates seamless fail-over across diverse transport mechanisms. This approach enhances visibility and troubleshooting capabilities, ultimately leading to faster service recovery.
