Commonwealth of PA - Enterprise Data Center Standard Server Configurations

The Enterprise Data Center has standardized their use of IBM servers. Please use the information below as a general guide for standard server configurations. Exact server configurations and options can vary depending on the requirements of the applications(s) being deployed on the server. Click on any of the links to view information about the different server models. EDC will work with agencies to identify application deployment requirements and develop a solution to meet those requirements.

It should be noted that EDC has a "virtualize first" approach for server deployments.

The standard server configurations listed below are completely customizable based upon agency requirements.
