Right along with the DTE version of the virtual appliances lies the Service Provider Edition (SPE). The major differences between the two include…
- Licensing: Unlike the DTE version, each SPE can increase its licensing, provided it gets its licenses from the required license server. And because the SPE is targeted at service providers (and to major accounts that operate in a similar fashion for various business units), the minimum license offered is 2500 concurrent users, which can then be spread out across as many virtual appliances as you like.
- Installation Scripts: Inside the download package there are scripts included to help service providers bulk configure virtual appliances.
- Support: The SPE is actually supported by JTAC. But before you get too excited, note that you have to be an existing SPE customer, meaning you have the required minimum number of licenses as well as a license server that is under a support contract.
