[j-nsp] Cost of vMX

[Saku Ytti]

Hey,

>From BOM POV if you have to pay for the XEONs it probably isn't very
good value proposal per Mpps. However if you have poor pricing for MX,
good pricing on your XEON and modest pps need, maybe it makes sense.

I've seen JNPR sell MX80 under 4k (back when they were newish, before
MX104 existed), which is still good money for PQ3 and Trio in BOM
perspective, but not very good consider how low volume JNPR is, and
how R&D expensive it is to do Trio and PEchip.

I wish JNPR would split into three companies, JNPR SW, JNPR HW, JNPR
Integrator, so that they'd increase their volumes. I fear that at
shrinking market cap they may become attractive acquisition target for
company wanting to have established customer relations in US, company
who otherwise struggles culturally to sell in US.
