Getting a trial is the easy part. The real problem is the sticker shock after.
For a real trial, you need to contact their sales. The "free" lab trials are useless for testing actual throughput or advanced features.
Before you even ask for one, know this:
* You will be quoted list price. The real cost is 40-60% lower after negotiation.
* The mandatory support subscription is often 20%+ of the hardware cost per year.
* Don't even look at it without a firm budget and understanding your throughput needs. They will upsell you.
What's your actual use case? On-prem VM? Cloud? Throughput requirement?
