We want to sell you a Cisco Firewall!
But here is the reality...
Many ASA models, especially the Bun-K9 SKUs, are backordered EVERYWHERE until June!
___________________________
So, what are the questions you should be asking yourself?
1) Can my customer wait until April or June for a Cisco ASA 5505 or 5510 unit?
2) If the ETAs are correct this time, is my customer willing to put their order in now to get on the waiting list with no guarantee of getting their order fulfilled with this round of stock?
3) Is my customer asking for a Cisco because they HAVE TO HAVE a Cisco or because that is what they heard about or have only used up to now?
4) Of what I know about their network and as their technical expert; can my customer use a top-rated alternative firewall (i.e. SonicWALL or WatchGuard) instead so that they receive protection now?
