Re: New Blueprint - Can Anyone Think of a Need for the "E"

Same thing happening with me , I joined new company and they are system
integrators where they prefer not only Cisco but also
Juniper,Foundary,Checkpoint as per the requirement of RFP.
Recently I am completing the setup of ISP which includes MALC(DSLAM) from
Zhone ,billing system for Apelo and Core Switches from foundary not
Cisco,Firewall from checkpoint .
 I think now a days we should be product independent as competitors are
growing in the Market ; )

Thanks
