Why a mixed Apple and Windows fleet needs a well-prepared MSP
Managing MacBook Pros and Dell PCs in the same office, on a cloud-managed Cisco Meraki network, requires knowledge of several platforms at once. DataRoad, an Apple Technical Partner, works with Apple, Dell, Cisco, Meraki and other leading manufacturers — and treats the estate as a whole, not as separate parts.
For companies with Apple equipment, DataRoad has a dedicated service line: Apple fleet management for businesses.
How an office like this is managed
On a Cisco Meraki network, the firewall, switches and access points are managed from a central cloud console. DataRoad tracks the state of the network, applies configuration changes and deals with incidents without needing a site visit for every request.
On the workstation side, the MacBook Pros and Dell devices are handled by the same service desk, with the same response times. Reltio by SAP's local team has a single point of contact for network, security and workstations.
