I think independent estimates show service margins of about 30% for the DEC unit, but this is still slightly ahead of CPQ's overall target of 27-28%, and more importantly a big slug of service revenue that has different dynamics than HW sales will help to stabilize earnings overall and give CPQ better control of the bottom line.
