It sounds like they want to guarantee that each of these sales turns into a successful installation. It's relationship and satisfaction protection.

We've been looking at the CRS-1 for a while now as our next generation routing platform. However, my Cisco account team is going out of their way to tell me we need, must have, can't ever get it to work without professional services. I don't get it. I understand that there are some major differences from, say, a 7600: - IOS-XR - new interface and all the configuration vagaries - Hardware - substantially different architecture - Color (!) My plan is to bring a CRS-1 into the lab, dissect it, learn it, adapt the configuration details to our needs, build a training plan around it, and slowly deploy it. My Cisco team seems stuck on having to sell us services to get this working. Am I missing something here, or is the CRS-1 so unbelievably complicated that mere mortals cannot figure it out and make it work on their own networks? What have others experienced with implementing them? _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
