Traffic Light PatchManager

Hello Managers,

The company I work for currently has an install of 300+ Sun systems from
Solaris 7 to 10 and we are on Sun Spectrum Gold service. Our Sun SE has
recently suggested we use a service from Sun for managing our patch cycle
that is centered on a product called "Traffic Light PatchManager (TLP)."
Since I have not been able to find very much independent information about
this offering I was wondering if anyone on this list has had any experience
with TLP. Im looking specifically for answers to the following questions:

1. How many sun systems does TLP manage?
2. What Solaris versions are you running?
3. What experiences have you had with TLP being scaleable?
4. What experiences have you had using TLP?
5. What is your patch cycle timeline? (how often do you patch)
6. How do you roll-back patches?
7. Suggestions, opinions, tips, or comments on TLP

I am hoping for some information that I can use for a presentation to upper
management either advocating the install of TLP or rejecting sun's suggestion
and continue looking for another solution. Please email me directly and I
will summarize to the list.

Thank you in advance.
Philip
