Network Dictionary – Appsellation

Term to describe the “add on selling” of Network Management applications as an upgrade to your network.

Approximately the equivalent of asking “would you like fries with that” when ordering network equipment with the same outcome – you can’t really eat that many fries and sugary drink, but you can’t help buy it when you are hungry.

In the same way, you always want Network Management to work, but it always gets thrown out in the trash.
