Our current mpls/wan network is pure juniper mx80's. Last year we bought a bunch of mx5's, applied an upgrade to mx80 license to one of them and put it into production.
We are expanding our network and wanted to upgrade 2 spare mx5's we had to mx80's and deploy them, but it seems the price of the upgrade license has rocketed. The quote I received today was £32k for two upgrade licenses. We paid around £5k for an upgrade license last year..
I'm looking for alternatives to paying this upgrade license. The Mx range is appealing due to the number of 1g ports once fully populated, and the 4x10g ports.
Any recommendations for a product which will come in at less than £16k each (£32k for two)?
Ideally we would keep juniper throughout, but I don't think that's going to happen unless we bite the bullet and pay.
Anyone bought "used" but with reseller warranty/support?
