Can someone toss in a brief testimonial for huawei? In the US, I never hear that name in enterprise space, only in carriers. No idea what day-to-day ops or support is like with that vendor. All the others I am quite familiar with to one degree or another. ________________________________ From: Dragan Jovicic <draganj84 () gmail com> Sent: Thursday, May 4, 2017 3:20 PM To: Saku Ytti Cc: c b; nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: Need recommendation on an affordable internet edge router Hi, But you probably should review at least: - Juniper MX204, MX480 - Cisco ASR9k - Huawei NE20, NE40 - Alcatel 7750SR Having all of these somewhere in our network, and my heart being with JNPR boxes, I'll say have a look at Huawei offerings. +Dragan On Fri, May 5, 2017 at 12:10 AM, Saku Ytti <saku () ytti fi<mailto:saku () ytti fi>> wrote: On 5 May 2017 at 01:04, c b <bz_siege_01 () hotmail com<mailto:bz_siege_01 () hotmail com>> wrote: Hey,
The ASR9k is certainly up to the task and it's one of the few we looked at initially, but the pricing is nowhere near commodity even if we got a minimal build.
What is commodity? Where are you comparing it to which satisfies your requirements?
As far as volume, the initial purchase for this round of budget will be an HA pair. If the solution works well, we have potential to replace 12 or so throughout FY17, maybe into FY18.
Yeah sales droids likely won't be interested in 2 at all. But if you commit on those 12, even if you'll order them separately. I think that's something sales droid will care about, and you'll have negotiation leverage as you can keep bouncing between several vendors seeing who gets your business. You should really expect at least 70% discount on 12 units, 80% would be good. Under 70% would be walk out the room. -- ++ytti
