You are right, the price it is QUITE STUNNING. They were here at Princeton U.
as sales pitch. The basic price wasn't too bad but the cost per switch port
was insane considering we have thousands of ports.
We just couldn't understand how an add on to Netview would cost more than twice
its' cost, not to mention the maintenance costs on it.
We just told them "Thanks for coming" and showed them where the door was at.
