2. Migration Plan
For customers that already have a Stingray Traffic Manager and would like to evaluate Stingray Aptimizer functionality, they can just order the STM-4000-VH-E evaluation SKU, which includes Aptimizer functionality. Customers with legacy Zeus SKU's will need to upgrade to STM version 9.0 and order the STM-4000-VH-E SKU to evaluate Stingray Aptimizer functionality. Similarly, the SAF-4000-E can be subsumed by the STM- 4000-VH-E SKU which includes Stingray Application Firewall functionality.
The same logic applies to the SAF-4000-NFR and the STX-STD-NFR SKUs which are subsumed within the STM-4000-VH-NFR SKU.
The SPD-PAGE-PACK-NFR SKU would not be needed, as partners will not need additional page pack licenses within their demo environment.
