We recommend standardization on a common manufacturer whenever feasable.
That translates into increased reliability and quality of support.
As a result of our collective experiences we usually recommend systems
from manufacturers such as Compaq, IBM, Hewlett Packard and Dell.

Compaq has earned a reputation for being "proprietary".

thing. Compaq has engineering that is hard to match. They react
quickly to issues with drivers and provide technicians with regular
service updates. They manufacturer quality workstations and their
file servers and enterprise level equipment are top shelf.
