Title overview

The IT world has undergone a transformation, and fast solutions just aren't fast enough anymore. A platform-based approach with automated processing of data is no longer a dream of the future - it's a requirement of the present.

In Cisco Meraki Fundamentals, you will learn how to 'think' platform: end-to-end control, management, and visibility of operations, all with less complexity. As you embrace this thinking, the possibilities for producing optimised solutions to problems now and in the future become constraints merely of your imagination.
