Systems Engineering supported server operating systems

Abstract

• For SE to support a physical server, a server must:
  • Have its hardware under warranty or have a hardware support
    contract with a SE approved external vendor.
• For SE to support a server, a server must:
  • Have its operating system and bundled software covered by a software
    support contract provided by a SE approved vendor.
