DaSpadeRMay have been referenced earlier, but can you run virtual device contexts? I'd like to have 3-4 separated containers
DaSpadeRSome of the big music tours carry call manager with them, this would be much more compact for their router and services to plug into arena/stadium
sthorvaldsenYou mentioned the defence sector, will there be ruggedized 4k ISRs aswell?
WackoRobieGood. Thanks everyone
