We are in the same boat as others of you because we are running CCA on Dell Servers. I don't think we are going to be able to stomach the costs of moving to Cisco appliances in order to accommodate a version upgrade. We are looking into SafeConnect right now and are probably about 90% sold on it as a replacement solution for our environment.

It may not fit your needs (it's not a vlan-switching system like many others), but we've actually received calls from students just to thank us for changing!

I actually need to make some decisions this year (next 3 or 4 months) on if we are keeping Cisco's NAC, or something else. I know Symantc and Microsoft have something similar, but haven't had a chance to look at anything yet. Any suggestions from the gallery on alternatives?

Now they are great paper weights. Cisco Offered a Huge discount if we bought the new appliances in 30 days. We are now planning to re-evaluate the CCA system next year, we may or may not keep it. Even with Maintenance on the software we would have to buy all new..... I think Cisco did a boo-boo on this one. David L.
