I was wondering if anyone has any experience working with the Cisco

Anyone have any opinions on these?
It seems like it would be nice to just drop these into a few
systems but I'm just trying to avoid caveats that mitigate (pun
intended) the usefulness of these products.
If you try to buy the LCs your account team should try to convince
you to go with the appliances instead. My account team told me that
they LCs are being terminated at some point in the future and
replaced with the appliances so if you buy the LCs today you will
most likely run into software limitations down the road as
appliances get all the good stuff and the LCs get bug fixes only (at
some point in their life at least). I'd go with the appliances.
There have been a number of different rumors floating around related
to this that I've heard. I certainly would avoid investing in
something that does not have a clear roadmap. If they can't present
you roadmap slides, panic?
Either way, there are other solutions in this space as well.
