Cisco Meraki Launches MX650
Cisco Meraki Launches MX650
New announcement from Cisco Meraki to help you in a very large environment where the site to site throughput required more than 25Gbps. Cisco Meraki launches a new beast device Cisco Meraki MX650 to take its portfolio towards large infrastructure.
The Meraki MX650 is a security and SD-WAN appliance that offers VPN Concentration services for big VPN networks. It is perfect for network administrators that require both ease of use and cutting-edge feature sets. The Meraki dashboard enables the MX650 to be deployed quickly and easily in practically any place.
The MX650 is excellent for datacenter environments that require a high concentration of VPN topologies. Currently, it can only be deployed as a single-armed concentrator, which Meraki also recommends for DC deployments.
When placing a Meraki MX on a DC, it is advised that it be configured as a HUB, with all tunnels from the branches terminated. A second one can be deployed in warm spare mode for redundancy, with no additional licenses required.

If you have two datacenters, you can use the DC-DC failover design, which routes traffic to the primary HUB and then fails over to the secondary one in the event of a disaster.
