    概述

    This document informs staff about technology hardware standards and support lifecycle. The goal is to improve operations, 减少风险暴露, and deliver lasting value to the District. This information will be updated as needed, based on strategic planning and funding. 

    Hardware is defined as desktops, laptops, mobile devices. 以及文档摄像机, 监控, or any variation of computer equipment that the District uses for instructional or business purposes.

    The OTIS Hardware standards policy will enhance the performance in delivering, 实现, 维护, and supporting hardware suitable to the educational and business needs of 线上博彩平台. A well-managed technical environment reduces the total cost of equipment ownership.

    A task force has been developed to review the hardware standards on a regular cycle. The task force includes representatives from the User Experience, 教学技术, 和奥的斯服务台.

    硬件标准评审周期
    The task force reviews the hardware standards on a regular basis to: (1) align with the District strategic f内存ework and customer requirements; (2) ensure that vendor still supports the equipment; (3) determine or modify the end of life date for District support; (4) verify pricing; and (5) to update the model version if necessary.

    The review timetable is as follows, or is reviewed as information becomes available from the vendor:
    • Desktops / Laptops – every six (6) months
    • 移动设备——每季度
    • Miscellaneous category (includes printers, cables, network equipment, 等.) -一年一次

    Hardware Lifecycle, Decommissioning, and Disposal
    A consistent and predictable lifecycle helps OTIS and the District plan for procurement and deployment of new devices.
    服务台 provides minimal technical support or maintenance for desktops or laptops beyond five years old. No technical support or maintenance will be provided for desktops or laptops beyond six years old.
    PC and Mac Operating Systems should be the current version systems more than three versions earlier will receive minimal support.
    Equipment that has reached end of life will be stripped of reusable parts (hard drive, 内存, videocard, 等.) and will be sent for decommissioning and recycling through a formally vetted vendor who completes a secure data wipe of the device. Additional information regarding the decommissioning of equipment can be found in the 奥的斯资产管理政策.
    The following considerations are factored into the determination of the lifecycle of equipment:

    • 操作系统结束日期
    • Support and end of life from the manufacturer
    • 需要运行的应用程序
    • 设备成本
    • 设备折旧
    • Build quality – durability of the equipment
    • Feedback from end users, 服务台, and Purchaser

    管理例外
    Employees needing computer hardware other than what is stated on the OTIS 采购 Standards must request such hardware from the OTIS Department. Each request will be considered on a case-by-case basis in conjunction with the educational or business need.
