[c-nsp] Netcordia Net-MRI anyone?

[Jay Hennigan]

I just got telemarketed by these guys, who claim to have a $25K box that 
does wonders for optimizing networks and will pay for itself four times 
over in a year.  (I can think of several things I'd rather spend $25K 
on, but want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.)  URL is 
http://www.netmri.com/

The guy was obviously just cold-calling a list, had little clue about 
its capabilities, specs, etc.  About the only claim to fame he could 
give me is that the Feds have bought several of them.  Pictures on their 
website look like a Cobalt RAQ.

Anyone familiar with this product?  Is it worth considering?  We're 
presently using a number of open-source tools such as RANCID, Cricket, 
Nagios, etc.
