Still, very unhappy about losing local support, and it unfortunately means the local Pre Sales Engineers are going to be picking up the slack…

We’ve not (as yet) tested out the China support, but given past experience with jobs logged out-of-hours and picked up by other places other than the Sydney guys it looks like we’re in for a bumpy ride.

BTW we have about 1000 PBX (mostly nortel) and now we are installing avaya on new projects.

We really like the Juniper SSL VPN Secure Access appliances and we’ve also just recently purchased a few Juniper SRX routers. I don’t have anything bad to say about Juniper… I think they have great hardware in Ethernet Switching and Routing, I just think they have a lot of catching up to-do from a feature set perspective.

Thanks for the feedback!

We can’t afford to put our projects on hold while Nortel and now Ayava figures out what they are doing.

Not mention that Nortel has closed the local sales office where our corporate HQ is located. Then our account executive and sales engineer has jumped ship also.
