The hardware is truly the same, minus a Dell logo, and "Powered by JunOS" sticker. Support wise, you are supposed to call Dell first for tier1/2 issues, and Dell can escalate to JTAC when necessary. We actually got better pricing when we worked with a Juniper direct account manager, funneling the purchasing through Dell. Juniper was able to approve larger discounts on Juniper branded equipment, than Dell could do on the Dell re-brand stuff. YMMV. Either way, you're getting real Juniper equipment, so you can't really lose. -- Brent Jones br...@servuhome.net _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
