There are many hardware brands.  Those not shown can be compliant with minimum standards on a case-by-case basis.

For hardware to be compliant it must have an active service tag, meaning the original equipment vendor continues to provide support and has available break-fix repair services.  Hardware for which the customer has purchased extended warranties is considered to match minimum standards. Hardware requiring a subscription service for patches and updates must have an active subscription to be compliant.

Workstations & Server hardware must meet a minimum hardware specification to maintain a level of performance and reliability. We will advise you of these requirements during our procurement process. Over time, these requirements may change depending on new standards and performance requirements. As a general rule, we suggest the following hardware requirements:

• Device no older than 3 years with existing Manufacturer warranty
• Intel based processor
• Minimum 16gb of memory
• Storage is strictly Solid State unless for archiving purposes
• Operating system is supported by manufacture for patching
