We've almost completed a full integration with Saisei. We've got a few 
WISPs using them and have been working with the Saisei team to finish 
the integration project before the show next week.



Not sure will have it done. But we will have a demo to show at the event.

You can do a lot with a Procera to deal with
stuff like that, some solutions are more complex
than others, but you get a ton of tools. They'll
send you an eval unit for 30 days to try out, so
it's pretty easy to see if it works for you. Let

To a degree, yeah. They have a lot of
'magic' in there, like linking together
initial non-HTTPS lookups to trackers,
and then tying them to subsequent HTTPS
connections. The biggest problem with
torrenters is that some portion of them
are smart enough to use a VPN, which
leaves you with little recourse. But
you're probably not getting any DMCA

You can't buy a unit that was original purchased by one
company, sell it to another company and then they get a new
license.  Basically, if I bought Gino's unit, I would have to
pay him and he would pay Barracuda.

Is that because you didn’t have a service contract with them?
Just curious … or is it that their license is non transferable
same as some other companies (ie. Cisco)

We are using Saisei right now. Very similar to Procera but hardware cost is
much less because you just purchase a beefy Dell server. Overall cost is
less than Procera, especially upfront.

We've been very happy with their support team as well with any questions.

Yeah, I much prefer coding to making physical things. I like the ability 
to experiment, with the only materials wasted being time and coffee. The 
only part I don't like is the tedium of creating all the boring parts, 
but I've already built a lot of tools to build forms, tables, and graphs 
automatically, so I can just focus on the interesting parts.

You can't buy a unit that was original purchased by one
company, sell it to another company and then they get a new
license.  Basically, if I bought Gino's unit, I would have to
pay him and he would pay Barracuda.

Is that because you didn’t have a service contract with them?
Just curious … or is it that their license is non transferable
same as some other companies (ie. Cisco)

But you have a cat!  It must be true. 

Don't burn out.  I saw someone else literally who coded as much as you burn out 
and have a mental breakdown of epic proportions never to recover.  

Oh.. Iphone for family - Android for work.  Have one of each and your problem 
is solved.  Either way the NSA is watching.

You can do a lot with a Procera to deal with stuff like that, some
solutions are more complex than others, but you get a ton of tools.
They'll send you an eval unit for 30 days to try out, so it's pretty
easy to see if it works for you. Let me know if you want to give one

To a degree, yeah. They have a lot of 'magic' in there, like

Yes, but most of the time it isn't worth it. You end up paying
list on most of the licensing, and they won't support the
hardware if it fails. They EOL the hardware every 5 years or so
as well (it's still supported for a while afterwards, but that's
the typical cycle,) so you generally want to be buying a newer
chassis.

Sometimes it's worth buying a used one, especially if it's a
bigger chassis, but it generally doesn't make sense.

Yes, but most of the time it isn't worth it.
You end up paying list on most of the
licensing, and they won't support the hardware
if it fails. They EOL the hardware every 5
years or so as well (it's still supported for
a while afterwards, but that's the typical
cycle,) so you generally want to be buying a

Sometimes it's worth buying a used one,
especially if it's a bigger chassis, but it

Re: [AFMUG] Procera costs

2016-10-06 Thread Ken Hohhof
I seem to have a strange issue in that my nice controlled environment sites are 
not at my network edge, since I moved to upstream connections via licensed 
microwave instead of DS3.  And I don’t have the luxury of a fat enough pipe 
like private fiber to haul all the bandwidth from the network edge to a NOC.  
So I need a hardened Procera, or HVAC on a couple outdoor cabinets, or to 
figure out a way to have my upstream(s) host a Procera for me on the other side 
of my BGP link.  Still scratching my head over that.  But thinking the Windows 
10 Update issues may force me to do something.

Sometimes it's worth buying a used one, especially if it's a bigger

You can't buy a unit that was original purchased by one company, 
sell it to another company and then they get a new license.  
Basically, if I bought Gino's unit, I would have to pay him and 
he would pay Barracuda.

You can do a lot with a Procera to deal with stuff like that, some 
solutions are more complex than others, but you get a ton of tools. 
They'll send you an eval unit for 30 days to try out, so it's pretty 
easy to see if it works for you. Let me know if you want to give one a 
shot and I can set it up for you.

2016-10-06 Thread Simon Westlake
Yes, but most of the time it isn't worth it. You end up paying list on 
most of the licensing, and they won't support the hardware if it fails. 
They EOL the hardware every 5 years or so as well (it's still supported 
for a while afterwards, but that's the typical cycle,) so you generally 
want to be buying a newer chassis.


Sometimes it's worth buying a used one, especially if it's a bigger 
chassis, but it generally doesn't make sense.

You can't buy a unit that was original purchased by one company, sell

Barracuda.

If you’re looking at Procera, make sure to check out our Sandvine as a Service 
we are launching next week at WISPAPALOOZA.



Our Monday training & hands on session is full – but we will have a short sales
