Mako devices are exclusively configured via the Mako CMS. They have no local configuration capability to greatly enhance security and deliver efficient, centralized control. Multi-factor authentication maximizes access security. Authorized users have complete visibility of all network sites and connections, while role-based privileges enable delegation of support tasks to appropriately qualified staff.

With the Mako System, you can perform network administration on one site or thousands of sites at once. Complex firewall rules can be templated and deployed to thousands of Mako devices via the Mako CMS, massively reducing the time to implement changes. Mako’s PCI-certified enterprise templates facilitate bulk security configuration of Mako devices and make it easy to demonstrate compliance when necessary.

Zero-touch deployment means you can install a Mako device by attaching it to power, broadband and your local network without touching its configuration, which is possible because each Mako device automatically receives site-specific configuration information from the cloud-based Mako CMS. Remote sites can get up and running quickly and easily, including running on cellular while you wait for terrestrial broadband installation.

Connect retail locations or other remote sites to head offices, data centers or third-party vendors easily. Mako VPN Cloud allows you to connect to other sites in seconds with a few clicks in the Mako CMS, all without requiring static IP addresses. Your data is encrypted in both transmission directions for maximum security. And Mako VPN Cloud scales easily with your distributed enterprise, eliminating networking pain points caused by rapid growth and inconsistent environments. Mako VPN Clouds are carrier-independent and can be established over any kind of broadband connection, including cellular.

Choose the amount of internet reliability and resiliency your business needs. The Mako System supports circuit, hardware and geographic redundancy, allowing for flexible, reliable connectivity across any combination of broadband circuit types. Fast failover configurations deliver seamless connectivity that keeps stateful data like live voice calls connected through a failover event. These affordable high availability options offer businesses continuity during unexpected service interruptions.

Take advantage of VLAN support to implement advanced segmentation configurations. The Mako System can handle any network design you can imagine, meeting any enterprise-wide requirements or site-specific accommodations.

Run commands on your Mako devices using the diagnostic tools in the Mako CMS. Troubleshoot issues related to configuration, connectivity, performance and more to fine-tune the behavior of your network.

Streamline operations, control data costs and more with reports and analytics. The Mako CMS carefully tracks a variety of metrics, such as internet usage for each site, and presents visualizations of this data to authorized users, who can use this as they see fit to adjust business practices or to automate Mako CMS actions, such as disabling internet access, when a certain event occurs or a threshold is reached.

Subscribe to real-time notifications of potential network issues, including worm alerts, online/offline status, WAN failover, VPN health, intrusion detection, unauthorized devices and more. Authorized Mako CMS users can elect to receive proactive alerts via email, webhooks (for integration with Teams, Slack, etc.) or NetFlow (for an existing SIEM platform).
