The use of name brand is essential to the Government’s requirements for Department of State DS to extend its fiber channel storage connectivity. DS currently has these devices and needs to ensure the new devices can be intermixed with the existing via ISL. This device was approved by the DS ITCCB as required by 5 FAM 862.1(b).
