There is a discount program for those who are on lower versions. We were one of the first schools to take advantage of it.

Even after that they still ended up quoting around $20,000 for two 3350s.

From: Cisco Clean Access Users and Administrators [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hennessey, Sean Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 10:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Plans for Windows 7 We are in the Perfigo situation. We have the Perfigo appliances but, as was stated, we have to upgrade. The quotes we've been given have been insane. Well over what we paid for the original installation. As we are not happy with the original product we have been in conversations with some of the developers and higher ups and, so far, have not resolved much of anything. We are still considering using the new product but not at what they've been quoting. As for the 75% markdown, I would seriously look at that. We were *not* offered that. And the wiggle room that has been advertised has not been apparent either. Please make sure you hold your guns. - Sean ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sean Hennessey, CCNA Network and Information Security Systems Administrator Office of Technical Support University of Portland w: (503) 943 7877, c: (503) 710 6347 From: Cisco Clean Access Users and Administrators [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lavner, Bob (IT) Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 6:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Plans for Windows 7 We were also an original customer. When we were told we had to upgrade, Cisco originally said it would cost triple what we originally paid. When we threaten to drop them and go with another vendor, we got the price down to a very reasonable price. Talk to your rep. There is a lot of wiggle room.
