I'm a bit frustrated about the way Cisco goes with the ASA5505. I've many clients asking for the small ASA but I don't want to sell them the old 5505, since it doesn't get 9.3 and therefore will go EoS soon.

Also I can't offer the Meraki products (Snowden shit). I can't even order them in germany via the hugest distributors (IngramMicro, Techdata). 

In my personal opinion, Cisco waits for a successor to see if the Meraki line grows, and if not, it will create a 5505-X or whatever. 

Are you aware of the announcement last week by Meraki that they met EMEA regulation requirements and have European data centers now so no information leaves EMEA?  I am in US so didn't pay too much attention, but it seems it may address you Snowden concern ;)  You should check with your Meraki rep about it.  I recall they said one DC was in Frankfurt.

Yes, I read about it, but in Germany, Cloudmanagement is a no-go. 

Also what happens when Cisco stops selling Meraki? Then you can't manage your devices.

Search for 5506-X on cisco.com ... there's finally a successor! (but not yet announced) :D
