Re: INE OER free class!

Interesting Article,
However, just because you may be able to get cheaper hardware in third
world countries, doesn't mean you will get the same level or service
and support as you do here in the United States. I wonder how much
capital of these foreign companies goes towards Research and
Development. And again how about support and training, I haven't seen
any programs come out of China or Taiwan, but if they will be selling
on a large scale such as Cisco and Juniper, you would think that there
would be a training program in place. The reality I would assume is
that Micosoft, Google, Amazon and others I am willing to bet have in
place Cisco gear, perhaps a test network that would include other
equpment, but would be hard to say if they will go mainstream. But no
doubt that Virtualization has become common place among companies, I
see many companies now consolidating servers, and hardware.

just my .02 cents,

Regards,
John
