The Department?s mandated security for small form factor clients connecting to the unclassified fiber network requires the use of fiber network interface cards instead of the more common copper network interface cards. The network interface card must be compatible with the Department-owned licenses of Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition client management software suite. The Department has identified the 3COM item as a key client network connectivity component for connecting small form factor clients to the Department?s unclassified fiber network. The fiber network interface card is critical for complying with mandated Department-security guidelines governing unclassified fiber networks as well as being compatible with the Department?s existing Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition client management software. The products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the Department?s requirement as a key component of the Department?s networking system.
