We "test drove" Meraki in 2009 and it was very impressive at that time. The big holdup then was a layer 3 switch was not available(?). well, fast forward to 2016 and our network is now a layer 2 VPN conflagration, and Meraki is getting a second look. The continued expansion of Meraki offerings shows me Cisco has committed to the enterprise and this is not a purchase and kill off of SDN initiatives. :)
