"As a company rooted in innovation and R&D, we understand firsthand how open competition and diversity can enable the federal government to accomplish mission priorities and set a new standard for better citizen services and organizational leadership," said Anthony Robbins, vice president of Brocade Federal. "From a procurement standpoint, it is of paramount importance that government agencies have open and easy access to best-of-breed solutions to ensure that every taxpayer dollar goes towards serving the needs of the nation, not unwarranted spending on legacy technologies."

- How open standards can reduce unwarranted spending on inefficient legacy technologies
- Why multivendor networks are better suited to promote innovation and meet IT imperatives
- How acquisition reform can provide value to the IT industry by rewarding R&D investments, intellectual property, and differentiation
