Cisco UCS Performance Manager

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get ahold of this tool. After reviewing the content in the following link Cisco UCS Performance Manager - Products & Services - Cisco I was interested in obtaining the software to give it a look. Following the "Download Software for this Product" link on that page took me to the normal UCS support/downloads location where you'd grab drivers and such for the UCS products. Nowhere in this section of Cisco's downloads was I able to locate the Cisco UCS Performance Manager software. It's unclear to me whether or not this is a standalone product, or integrated into Cisco Prime.

Any clarifying information is welcome!

Posting this on behalf of Vish Jakka:

We have not GA'ed the product yet, currently in beta stage. Please e-mail me at vijakka at cisco dot com and I will be able to provide you more detail and work from there.

Thanks Jeffrey, I've contacted Vish. I appreciate the help!

Has this gone GA yet ?   What do we quote?

Yes it did - please check out the data sheet and release notes

Any licensing / ordering guide for it?

Doug, reach out to me at vijakka at cisco dot com and I will provide the details. We have two versions available and the respective pids are UCS-PM-IE= and UCS-PM-EE.

Is that it for PID's - no per device licensing, term licensing, SASU?

Viswanath,

Are there any details that you could provide for ordering this product?

this link helped me the most.  I agree, this information was hard to find...
