I hear a lot of people buying MX204 for 15k and less, when they buy a
single unit, unsure if loss leader to get people to try JNPR.
Reasonable server like R840 set you back 7k. And then you actually
have to buy the vMX, which will put it around the 10k?
Obviously the Dell will have less ports and completely inferior
performance and in networking shops much higher OPEX.

Considering how cheap CAPEX is, I just don't see it.
