Price - garbage!

I often watch as the consumer market as the main criterion for selection of a product (other things being equal) is the price. This is logical. When a person sees two products of similar quality, it is more likely to choose the one that is cheaper. However, this rule has an exception. For example, when a more expensive product, especially a service that are more convenient for some reason.

Is it better to order the product in the shop, where cheap, but it brought in an inconvenient time, or where more expensive, but bring comfortable? .

Many of us get into a situation where there is a similar choice, and not really hesitate to choose the low cost of. But one thing we, the end users. It's quite another thing - the company. In the corporate sector at a price of one guided only very short-sighted of the company. Because there is not a key factor in the price and cost of ownership.

A typical example of such an ... Gateways, the most common of which are GSM gateways and. VoIP (SIP) gateways. Are used to transfer telephone traffic to the company PBX directly to the network operator's IP telephony or mobile operator. In fact, these gateways - the tools to reduce communication costs.

What is the complexity of their choice. It is formulated so that it is better to take - a lot of small gateways cheap or a great, but expensive? . What channel is, the gateway, of course, more expensive. But this dependence is nonlinear. In this and the complexity of.

A Simple Example. Dual. SIP GSM Gateway. AddPac. worth 14,000 rubles. (. Model AP-GS1002. ). Imagine that you need eight channels. It turns out that you need four gateway 14 000, total - a total of 56 000 rubles. But there is another way to get eight channels. Buy instead of four two-channel gateway, and a multi-. In this multi- gateway. AddPac. eight channels will cost you. in a noticeably large amount of. : 54 000 chassis ( for 19 inch rack ) 77 000 rubles. expansion board ( board 2 to 4 GSM channels). Total - 131 000 rubles.

Important Question! . will ultimately be much more profitable investment. Just its advantages, not specialists, are not immediately.

Multi- SIP GSM gateway, for example, is much easier to maintain and reconfigure than four two-channel. He's one! . Capacity of the gateway built up in the order of magnitude faster. You just need to install additional GSM- card. The chassis is more convenient in terms of flexibility of configuration, because in addition to GSM cards can be installed here, and other interface cards (FXO/FXS/E1).

In general, what I 'm all. If you plan to buy office equipment, all of which benefits (and therefore the future cost of ownership ), you are not very clear, do not pursue the cheapest option. It may not be the best.

I want to say in the words of the advertisement tabs: ...
