Swing Away with Meraki!

Today is a Meraki focus day here at PC Mall (Dragontech), and we're going to be reaching out to each and every one of our clients today about Meraki's products.

Wireless Internet

Security Appliances

Switches

And my favorite...the Free Systems Manager software.  (Want to see what this looks like?  Hit the Contact button and ask me for read access to my network...I'm happy to share! :) )

You can't go wrong with these folks...nothing is perfect, but they're willing to fight and fight and fight to show people how good their products are...and so am I.

The Meraki Story is a great one...and if you have any questions, give me a call!  (541 - 351 - 8845)

Meraki making a bid to be a bigger network player

I think many of you know how much I've been invested with Meraki. It's true that they make great products, but it has been wonderful to watch them grow and form over the past couple of years (like I have here). They went from a tiny organization, and once they embraced the channel (or a select few from the channel), they exploded in size. Now there's quite a few more reps than there used to be, and even I'm losing track.

At our Vision event back on November 3, I had a chance to talk with my favorite Meraki rep, and as always he was full of information...and a little innuendo that made me very interested in what Meraki is up to.  First off, they're known for their Wireless Enterprise units like the MR 58 and MR24 that work with their cloud-based architecture.  For you to be able to control all of your wireless units from one central location...using simple web-based tools...is fan-freakin-tastic.   Earlier this year, they got into the routing game, utilizing the same cloud-based architecture working with their MX70 units.

Now, based on comments that I was given...it seems like Meraki is now aiming at the "pieces inbetween" what they already handle.  What could that mean?  Only time will tell, boys and girls...but I tell you...these guys have more potential energy than you think...and when their IPO comes along, I'm first in line!

Want a free unit?  Take a look at our webinars section on this site, and sign up for Meraki's next webinar.  If you attend the full event, they'll send you a free MR12 unit (their basic unit) for you to keep and use.  As many of my clients will attest, once you use it, you want 4 more! :)

Tired of outdated technology in your conference room? Ditch the Star!

Lets face it, that polycomm/cisco star in the middle of your conference table hasn't changed since the 80's. That may be ok for the Member's Only crowd but being hunched around the phone on a conference call is no longer new wave.

The folks over at RevoLabs hs totally redesigned the conference phone with modular, wireless design that puts your caller in the room with superior sound quality. The advantage of the system is that the omnidirectional microphone(s) can be placed where the people are talking, The speaker can be placed where it is best heard. The unit comes with 2 onmidirectional mikes so it can act as 2 of the "old" star phones. Optionally you can replace the second mike with a lapel mike for presentation environments.

It can connect to a cell with bluetooth or use a standard line plugged into your existing system.

Don't take my word for it go to their site!
