1. Network and Wireless,
2. Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), and

The health board are also looking to include licencing for Cisco Enterprise Modelling Labs (CML) to be included in this procurement, either as part of the EA, or as a separate co-terminated licence agreement, as an optional extra.
