MIMIC Simulator rent-to-own program

You asked for it and we listened.

In order to alleviate the up-front cost of using MIMIC SNMP Simulator
software in these tough economic times, we are announcing a rental program
with option to acquire the software: rent MIMIC on a monthly basis for 10%
of the cost of the software, and have the option to acquire the software
at the end of 10 months.


MIMIC allows you to test the scalability of your application against 50,000
devices and all possible pathological network scenarios.

This program gives you the most advantages: like a lay-away program it
allows you to spread payments over time, except you get the benefits of
the product before completing the payment plan. This offer is available
for a limited time only.

Log on to router1, and verify that you can ping 10.201.1.10 on switch1.
