Meraki MX95 Next-Gen firewall
Meraki has developed an unprecedentedly easy-to-navigate ecosystem for its’ products to co-exist in. And this cloud-based, centrally managed platform has only grown in size and maturity. Over time, a growing, increasingly-loyal customer base have simply come to expect their Merakis to be simple to set up, easy to use, and a breeze to manage. Well, the Meraki MX95 is no different!
The MX95 is a predictably friendly appliance that puts non-IT types at ease with it’s ‘snap’ deployment. In fact, MX95 can be installed in seconds, and is completely cloud-managed. At that point, it then gets all of its firmware upgrades through an SSL connection. The VPN can be set up in 5 minutes.
Performance
Basically, the MX95 does everything the MX84 does, just better. A LOT better. Both have hands-off set-up, stateful firewall, Layer 7 application visibility, traffic shaping, and content filtering. But where the MX84 pushes 500 Mbps of Stateful Firewall Throughput, the MX95 reaches 2 Gbps. VPN Throughput for the MX84 is up to 250 Mbps, for the MX95 its 900 Mbps. Advanced Security Throughput are 320 Mbps and 1 Gbps, respectively. The MX95 can support up to 500 users, about 300 more than the MX84.
The interfaces are a little different; the MX84 has 10x GbE 2 × SFP USB 3G/4G ports. On the other hand, the MX95 has 2x 10GbE SFP+ and 2x 2.5GbE RJ45 (1x PoE+) WAN ports, and 4x GbE RJ45, 2x 10GbE SFP+ USB 3G/4G LAN ports.
Tell me about Meraki’s licensing. What is this, and why do I need it?
All Merakis require valid licensing to operate. These are on a “per device, per year” basis. The MX series has three licenses: Enterprise, Advanced Security, and Secure SD-WAN Plus. These are available in 1, 3, and 5 year options.
