-< Net. Mgmt. for Ultrix! MSU or DECmcc?! >-
Hi,
I'm a Sales-Support in Taiwan. I am confusing about the trend and product
functionality about DECmcc for Ultrix and MSU. Seems like MSU is not fully
comliant with EMA. However, the functionality of MSU is much better than
DECmcc at this moment, and the field test of DECmcc is still on going.
Depending on just what it is you want to do, MSU V1.1 does have
more than DECmcc V1.1 and it is your only choice for network
management on Ultrix until DECmcc V1.2 ships.
Can anybody advice me about which one should I suggest my customer to buy at
this moment? If I choose MSU in order to obtain much better functionality, is
there any migration path for the customer to DECmcc, once DECmcc for Ultrix
becomes the major trend?
If your customer is looking to buy now and it is Ultrix that
the need, by all means sell them MSU now. If you are doing it
just based on functionality, pls let me know specifically what
functionality.
There is a migration path for customers to upgrade/trade-in MSU
for DECmcc V1.2. The details haven't bee worked out as to
whether it will be a "free" upgrade or a "pay the difference"
between MSU and V1.2 upgrade, Dennis Biedrzycki (marketing) is
working the details. There will be tools to move "as much data
as reasoable" from MSU to DECmcc V1.2 as well.
I've read Topic 1175.
Thank you very much for your attention and advise.
Best Regards,
Aaron Yang/Taiwan EIS S/W Specialist
Hope this helps,
