This Excel-based Data-rich Deliverable (DRD) that is part of the Government and Business Networks subscriptions includes market intelligence on IT: Network Hardware expenditures for Federal Government. The report defines network hardware as equipment purchased to connect PCs to one another in local area networks, as well as to connect locations/LANs via wide-area networks. This equipment includes the major categories of routers, LAN switches, modems, hubs, remote access servers. The report defines government as all establishments of the federal government, state governments, and local governments, which include county, municipal, township, school district, and special district governments. Three criteria are used to distinguish independent governmental organizations from each other: they must exist as an organized entity, possess a governmental character, such as having a high degree of responsibility to the public or the ability to levy taxes, and have substantial autonomy, including fiscal and administrative independence. Federal includes all civilian and defense agencies, departments, organizations, and offices of the US federal government. The Expert Guide for this deliverable is Stephanie Atkinson. Forecasts are from 2007 through 2012 and include annual growth rates, as well as percentage of total market.
