Dan aren't you employed by INS, the parent company of DiamondIP?
[JJB] Steve,
[JJB] There are about 80 different vendors out there. Of these
[JJB] the enterprise level \
[JJB] packages I've seen include: InControl by INS (aquired Diamond IP)
[JJB] QIP by Lucent
[JJB] CNR by Cisco
[JJB] NetID by Nortel
[JJB]
[JJB] QIP is pretty comprehensive but rigid and nearing end of
[JJB] life. CNR was an aquired \
[JJB] product and limited in scope. NetID has many features but
[JJB] lacks in areas and is \
[JJB] similarly at end of life. After the big bust Lucent,
[JJB] Cisco, and Nortel are all more \
[JJB] focused on hardware and their core areas. InControl is
[JJB] pretty comprehensive and early \
[JJB] in its lifecycle. It incorporates lessons learned, being
[JJB] created by the some of the \
[JJB] core engineers from Quadritek, the founders of QIP. The
[JJB] down side is it's a smaller \
[JJB] organization. So if the 'big blue' type mentality reigns,
[JJB] it can be difficult to move \
[JJB] in for political reasons. Overall though it is a
[JJB] technically superior solution. \
[JJB] There are many other solutions, but they tend to
[JJB] facilitate individual DNS and DHCP \
[JJB] management and do not provide comprehensive network
[JJB] block, device, and IP management.
[JJB]
[JJB] I hope that helps
[JJB]
[JJB] Thanks
