The main scope of Symphony Plus - Hardware Standardization Project is to offer standardized and pre-configured Servers and Workstations to the Local Business Lines so that they can be used for deploying Symphony Plus new releases. 3rd party products went through intensive testing and are considered as certified for certain system versions.
This approach provides an efficient way to support new Operating Systems from Microsoft (i.e. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 & Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2019 & Windows Server 2019).
There are many benefits using standardized models:
- Pre-tested and certified operational hardware and configuration of the Operating System;
- Pre-configured BIOS settings and right product keys for the operating system with Embedded Licensing;
- Tracking of asset through P&F Center approved labeling and Service Tags;
- Best hardware costs and support services costs;
- Global agreement with Microsoft that allows ABB to redistribute Windows Operating System for S+ systems
- Machines ready for S+ installation
