Cisco Meraki vMX Trial Guide

CISCO Meraki vMX Trial Guide

The Cisco Meraki vMX is the fastest and simplest way to scale SD-WAN to your hybrid cloud architecture, no matter how many branches or services you’re running. vMX bridges cloud-managed networking with on-premises gear with fully virtual computing resources in the cloud. In this guide, we will share an overview of how to get started with a free vMX trial. We’re confident that you’ll find it to be the simplest way to connect all of your computing technology resources together under a single SD-WAN fabric.

Why vMX matters to you
The vMX addresses issues of disjointedness, complexity, added cost, and time consumption in managing multiple online interfaces by bridging on-premises resources with the cloud. The vMX is designed to enable organizations to quickly and easily manage secure and optimized tunnels between all of their data and services—no matter where it all resides. It is also a natural complement to the MX in that it not only runs alongside it, but also brings many of its features to the cloud. Our industry-leading Meraki Auto VPN can be used to connect to all major cloud service providers because we can deploy a virtual MX (vMX) directly within their environments.
