Hi Brian, Thanks for your kind comments. I'll respond to your specific questions: On 18/10/2007 16:24, Brian Nisbet wrote: [...]
This is excellent and I'm very happy to see a support and upgrade path proposed. I think that the two options should suit the various TTM sites. So, those questions I mentioned...
I assume that current sites that have been in place for over three years will be able to avail of new hardware immediately upon signing a new contract (and, of course, dependent on the new hardware being available)?
Yes, absolutely. We are committed to ensuring a proper phased transition for existing hosts. Obviously, we will all need to be realistic about this - we can't do 70 in one day.
Will all TTM sites be asked to sign a new contract when this plan comes into effect, regardless of age of hardware?
No. Anyone with hardware less than 3 (or 5) years old should carry on regardless, although of course, you might like to take advantage of the new attractive pricing to locate an additional TTM somewhere in your network...
Will the hardware still be adminable only by the NCC?
Yes - 100%, this will not change. Regards Mark -- Mark Dranse Information Services Manager RIPE NCC
