(xiii) Brand Name Justification The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office of the Secretary (OS), Information Technology Infrastructure Operations (ITIO) has over 600 pieces of Cisco equipment installed throughout the Information Technology Infrastructure (ITI) network (ITIOnet) as well as the HHS backbone network (HHSnet) for network support; network access control devices, routers, switches, etc.. The integration of the network equipment is unified and proprietary to Cisco, hence, the features and/or protocols have been developed by Cisco and the use of non-cisco equipment would not be unified and would require special integration as well as a significant amount of testing and certification before it could be utilized in ITIOnet or HHSnet. Only Cisco equipment meets HHS requirements for a secure network solution. Cisco routers and switches form the foundation of the network infrastructure and they work together to ensure a high level of security, intelligence, and adaptability. Cisco catalyst switches are self-defending, utilizing built-in mechanisms. Security functions are integrated into the infrastructure to help control user access to the network and to various services to help protect against network threats such as worms, viruses, and denial-of-service attacks, and to help ensure privacy in communications. Cisco Catalyst switches offer integrated security solutions for all networks without compromising performance. While Cisco supports industry standards, OS finds it necessary to incorporate several Cisco proprietary features into their networking solutions, including hardware and technical support to meet the requirements of our complex network.
