Re: Canopy Prizm question
Prizm doesn't care if your backhauls are not Canopy.
You can still manage the rest of your Canopy network the same.
Prizm gives you many Canopy specific functions that other software won't have.
1. Floating licensing (the ability to buy a license and remotely assign it to a device via software at any time).
2. The deapest Canopy management tool in one location.
3. The expandability via their standards based API's.
4. Soon will include CNUT, the central updater tool.
Really you don't need Prizm to run a small Canopy network.
But my guess is you will want it more and more as your Canopy footprint grows.
We got it on the $2000 promotion with the 10 license pack.
It will just keep going up in price I assume even though they have promotional pricing going still.
With the API layer you at least have a possibility of integrating it with Mikrotik (which we use too) and your CRM and/or billing software. |

We are going to buy the Prizm for our network. And would like to hear about your API integration with Mikrotik and your billing software (which is?). We currently are using optigold, but we are looking into changing it as well.
Are yo available as an consultant?

| Gino, we just got Prizm 2.0 and haven't integrated anything yet.
So while we know about the benifits and have bought into it, we have little practicle knowledge. Given the product is so knew, I'm sure there are few if any that have taken advantage of the API.
We definately WILL be doing some programming with it, but I don't know our time frame.
We use Mikrotik for most routing and AAA features and Platypus for billing. |
