Combining advanced networking capabilities with robust security features, the Z3 enables remote employees to work efficiently and securely from anywhere while maintaining connectivity to essential business applications and data.
Key Features:
1. Secure Remote Connectivity: The Z3 provides secure remote connectivity to corporate networks using Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology. Utilizing IPsec VPN or clienttosite VPN, remote workers can securely access corporate resources, including files, applications, and intranet websites, ensuring productivity and collaboration from any location.
2. Integrated Firewall: Equipped with an integrated stateful firewall, the Z3 ensures network security by inspecting and filtering traffic to prevent unauthorized access and protect against cyber threats. Firewall policies can be easily configured and enforced to restrict access to specific applications or resources based on user roles and permissions.
3. DualBand WiFi: The Z3 features dualband WiFi connectivity on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, providing highspeed Remote Work access for remote devices. This enables remote workers to connect laptops, tablets, and smartphones to the internet and corporate network with optimal performance and reliability.
4. Cloud Management: Managed through the Cisco Meraki cloudbased dashboard, the Z3 offers centralized management, monitoring, and configuration of remote work devices from anywhere with an internet connection. This cloudmanaged approach simplifies device provisioning, configuration updates, and troubleshooting, reducing IT overhead and ensuring consistent security policies across distributed environments.
5. ZeroTouch Provisioning: With zerotouch provisioning, the Z3 can be easily deployed and automatically configured remotely without the need for onsite IT assistance. Once connected to the internet, the Z3 automatically retrieves its configuration settings from the cloud, enabling rapid deployment and minimizing downtime for remote workers.
6. VPN Client Support : The Z3 supports VPN client connectivity for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices, allowing remote workers to establish secure VPN connections using native VPN clients or Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices and operating systems, enabling flexible remote work options for employees.
7. Traffic Shaping and Prioritization: Using Quality of Service (QoS) policies, the Z3 enables administrators to prioritize critical applications and traffic types over the VPN connection. This ensures that essential business applications, such as VoIP, video conferencing, and cloudbased services, receive sufficient bandwidth and low latency, optimizing the remote work experience.
8. Advanced Security Features: In addition to firewall protection, the Z3 incorporates advanced security features such as intrusion detection and prevention, content filtering, and malware protection. These features help safeguard remote workers and corporate networks against cyber threats, ensuring compliance with security policies and regulations.
9. Remote Monitoring and Troubleshooting: The Z3 provides realtime visibility into remote work environments through builtin monitoring and troubleshooting tools. Administrators can monitor VPN connectivity, network performance, and security events remotely, allowing proactive identification and resolution of issues to ensure uninterrupted remote work operations.
