Manufacturers on the paper

Per maker, read from the line items, each line counted once and never more than the order it sits on. This is the figure to quote; it is a purchase record, not an install base.

  1. VMware 33 orders$27.5M
  2. Palo Alto Networks 36 orders$15.8M
  3. Red Hat 30 orders$13.2M

  8. Cisco Systems 85 orders$4.8M
  9. ServiceNow 11 orders$4.7M
  10. Microsoft 45 orders$4.7M

A manufacturer absent here may have been bought through a statewide contract that never names it on this department's paper. Absence is a question, not a finding.
