We recommend Dell desktop computers and servers. We employ a variety of these machine in our public access and high availability facilities.

Prior experience with these systems has shown reliability comparable to other manufacturers. This coupled with the easy access and fast turn around time of Dell service and support has made them a good choice for the department.
