notably missing from @interop this year @extreme @aruba @dell @juniper @enterasys

HP was there..Cisco was there... Riverbed... F5

Not showing up says a lot.

Reason #362 to buy @HPN instead of @cisco

Software licensing for the Cisco Nexus is so complex, they actually publish a 20 page guide just to understand it!

Want a routing protocols?  You need a license (even eigrp)

Want some like HP's EVI You need a license (OTV)

Want something like HP Multi-tenant Device Context?  You need a license (VDC)

Want MPLS?  you need a license.


With HP..all of this is included and you dont need licenses!!!
