If there is one universal truth in technology, it is that people believe what they can experience. For all the power of cloud-managed networking, many organisations still struggle to understand the value from a slide deck alone. Concepts like zero-touch provisioning, smart sensors, automated security and integrated camera analytics sound transformative, but the impact becomes real only when people can see it for themselves.
Comstor spends every day supporting partners who want to close that gap. They want to show customers exactly how Meraki works. They want to demonstrate its simplicity, its intelligence and its ability to scale with small and mid-market businesses. That need is what inspired Comstor to create something new for the channel and for customers who want a clearer starting point.
A smarter, easier way for SME and mid-market customers to explore Meraki
Small businesses and mid-market organisations often have limited time and resources to evaluate new technology. They want clarity, not complexity. They want to understand how a solution will improve their environment without navigating technical barriers or long deployment cycles.
Meraki-in-a-Box answers that need. It lets customers step into a world where simplicity meets innovation. By bringing a full Meraki environment together in one portable case, it allows teams to explore networking, security, sensors, cameras and connectivity in a way that is intuitive and hands-on. Customers can see devices connect, view real-time alerts, explore the Meraki Dashboard and understand performance insights without any set-up on their side.
It gives SME and mid-market IT teams a practical, low-risk starting point for modernisation.
A travelling Meraki solution for customers and partners
Designed entirely by the Comstor team, Meraki-in-a-Box is a complete Meraki solution packed into a rugged, mobile suitcase. It includes security, switching, sensors, smart cameras and cellular connectivity, all preconfigured and ready to run through the Meraki Dashboard within minutes.
Every device is live. Every feature can be explored instantly. From environmental readings and water detection to door activity, air-quality insights, motion analytics and secure connectivity, Meraki-in-a-Box showcases the power of an integrated Meraki ecosystem in real-time.
For customers, this becomes a clearer way to evaluate Meraki before investing further. For partners, it becomes a flexible tool they can use for demonstrations, roadshows, training or direct sale as a ready-to-use Meraki starter environment.
Removing barriers to understanding
Many Meraki advantages only become obvious once the technology is operating. When an MT12 alerts on a few drops of water or an MV23M triggers a Sensor Sight event from an MT20, the value is immediately visible. The experience shifts from theory to understanding.
Traditional demo environments do not always support this level of interaction. Customers may not have the necessary infrastructure. Partners may not have lab access or time to assemble a working configuration. Meraki-in-a-Box removes these barriers by making the entire solution mobile, self-contained and ready to run anywhere.
Supporting better conversations across the engagement cycle
Meraki-in-a-Box supports partners and customers at every stage of the adoption journey. For partners, it is an attention-grabbing way to start conversations, a hands-on tool for deeper exploration and a proof point that accelerates decision-making.
For customers, it provides a clear understanding of how Meraki fits into their environment. They can test scenarios, explore dashboards and see how the platform simplifies day-to-day operations. This helps them make informed decisions and reduces uncertainty when planning modernisation or expansion.
Built to empower the channel and simplify customer adoption
Comstor has always believed that partners are strongest when customers have clarity. Meraki-in-a-Box embodies that belief. It gives partners a powerful tool for engagement, and gives customers a practical entry point into cloud-managed networking. It reduces complexity, improves understanding and turns exploration into experience.
Meraki is known for its simplicity. Meraki-in-a-Box brings that simplicity to life. It is easy to carry, easy to set up and easy for both partners and customers to use. It turns meetings into moments and conversations into practical discovery.
For partners who want impact, and for customers who want clarity, Meraki-in-a-Box is a confident first step into the future of cloud-managed networking.
