Costs for the 250mbps device with 2 nics are around £2500 per year Cisco cost plus a D2 VM in Azure. Depending on what throughput you need, I think the cost can come down to around £1500 a year. If you purchase a 3 year licence you pay for around 2 years.


We have all our global sites (all Meraki) configured to connect to the CSR to get to our resources in Azure


The CSR is straight forward to setup. If you are fimiliuar with Cisco devices you will have no problem getting this up and running.


Cisco offer free trial licences as well. See below:
