[f-nsp] SI-350 vs SI-4G-SSL

[Mischa Peters]

Hi Chase,

The numbers you see in the datasheet are based on a WSM6, which is more powerful than a WSM6-1 or WSM6-2.
The WSM6 has 3 processors.

And to be honest the concurrency numbers are the least interesting.

> Hi Chase, The reason why it's almost impossible to get an SI-4G-SSL is because the unit is end-of-life. The Whole JetCore ServerIron line has been replaced by the ServerIron ADX. In the SI-350 you can stick a WSM6-SSL1 or a WSM6-SSL2. The WSM6-SSL-1 performs slightly better than an SI-4G-SSL, but the WSM6-SSL2 performs much better. Additionally you get an extra slot in the SI-350, either for an extra line card or for an extra management card. Here are some marketing numbers:

Apparently they can get the price lower than the SI-4G-SSL which makes me think the SI-4G-SSL is a better unit; we all know higher the price better the unit right? > > Would it be best to hold out for the SI-4G-SSL or does the SI-350 perform equally?
