Meraki SDWAN VoIP Traffic Demo

When it comes to network infrastructure, statistics matter.
Cisco has found that when you have redundant WAN hardware and redundant internet links you can get five nines of availability by leveraging our SD-WAN technology.
99.999% of uptime is only 5 minutes of downtown a year.
If VoIP fails in that 5 minute window, what are the odds that 2% packet loss is really the issue? Most Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithms only protect against small losses. Will FEC really solve the problem?
Packet duplication might possibly help in that scenario but at what cost? There are 525,600 minutes in a year. You will be wasting bandwidth for that time every year. I imagine in 525,600 minutes there will be times you will want ever bit per second available at your disposal.
Simplicity matters.
Most outages occur due to human error or overly complicated environment designs. Cisco Meraki solves for both of these in spades. The Cisco Meraki SD-WAN solution is the highest deployed SD-WAN solution in the industry. It is simple to deploy and simple to manage.
