[NV-L] Why isn't SWITCH ANALYZER packaged with NV

[Jeff Fitzwater <jfitz@princeton.edu>]

Is there a good reason why SWITCH ANALYZER is not part of the Netview 
package?
It would seem that a level2 node mapping would be part of any product 
like this.
I have been looking at adding the product, but is cost prohibitive due 
to pricing.
Education price 8.00 per switch port and 4k per host processor.

We have 15k switch ports =        120,000
host has 2  900MHz Process =        8,000
Maintenance per Yr                         5,000
------------------------------------------
Total cost would be                    ~$133,000



I could lower the cost a little by upgrading the host to a single 2k 
processor.  That makes sense!?

I have talked with sales, but no break there.


Any comments please.
