Infrastructure lifecycle location

Mat Barry

Level 1

I just did a trial install of Infrastructure 3.0 at a new company, and it's supposed to have assurance and lifecycle included in the licensing for a certain amount of days.  In fact, it mentions it when I start up.   With that said, I'm not seeing anything within reporting regarding EoX, PSIRT, or anything of the such.  Is there something I'm missing that I need to activate, or is this some type of bug?

Thanks in advance.

You need to deploy Professional size appliance and enable compliance services.

Thanks.  Considering The storage needed for the professional deployment is up in the terabytes, I find that a bit unreasonable.

Is there any input as to why they changed these standards?  LMS had it available for every type of deployment.  Are they insinuating that you don't need PSIRT or Lifecycle management without 50k devices?  This was the main selling point to my employer, as I've used it in previous places.   Aside from wireless, Infrastructure has turned into a joke, and I'm looking at going back to LMS (which infrastructure was to replace), or some 3rd party solution.

None of this makes sense to me.   People would still spend money, regardless of deployment size. 

The story I heard was that they rolled in Compliance features from the service provider product. They wanted to make sure it doesn't cripple performance so they are being extra cautious by restricting its use.

I agree it's very counterproductive and discourages customers from choosing the product.

You might look at the free Cisco Active Advisor tool. It does a very good job at PSIRT and EoX reports.

....or SolarWinds NPM + NCM. :)

I gotcha.  Thanks for all the Info, Marvin.  I could understand a little of the performance side, just not that much.   Thanks for all of your time, sir!

You're welcome. Please mark your question as answered if it has been.

I just saw this in the 3.1.2 release notes:

"Compliance service support in standard Prime Infrastructure virtual appliance"
