Orion NPM version 10

by the way they refferred to it as Version 10 but I opened a case and they didn't seem to know anything regarding this version.

thats a salesman for ya! lol. :)

I think the next major release will be ver 9.6 but thats just hear say, and I have no idea when it will come out.

Can you explain further what you mean by a more fully integrated version?  What problem are you looking to solve with the product?

The new version was to be SQL 2008 compliant and by fully integrated I mean that NPM and NCM were suppose to be fully integrated into a single console so that port contention was not occurring as it does now.

OK, this helps.  Orion NPM 9.5 and NCM 5.5, which was released at the end of May, both now support SQL 2008.  

See here for what's new in NCM 5.5

Brandon,

Does this also have the NPM and NCM integrated now or is that still a few revisions away?

So NCM ships with an integration module, which was enhanced in NCM 5.5, you can see what the latest version looks like here

So what does integrated mean to you?

Define "integrated".

Laughs,  currently we can't use NCM and NPM at he same time as they use the same ports so integrated to me means I can use both at the same time with no conteniton for the smae ports.

Judging from the demo posted above. It seems already pretty integrated into NPM... So I am not sure what you are really looking for.... What do you mean it's using the same ports??? You don't want two people making changes to a router at teh same time anyways.... SO you should explain what you are trying to do in a little more detail.
