We have used HP/Compaq servers for approximately ten years, building up a base of technical knowledge. Our hardware technicians are HP certified and are experts at the repair and maintenance of the HP servers. Using a different brand would result in a significant expense to the government. We have standardized on a few HP models reducing the cost of maintaining our inventory of spare parts.

HP servers have undergone test, assessment and evaluation and received final approval from our IT Configuration Control Board. ALL SERVER COMPONENTS MUST BE CONFIGURED PRIOR TO SHIPMENT.
