About the Program
The community is served best when technology is up-to-date. For faculty and staff, newer workstations perform better and faster, operate more reliably, and meet the requirements to run current operating systems and other software. They also help the University maintain a safe and secure IT environment because machines are equipped to run supported, fully patched software. Up-to-date workstations are better protected against security vulnerabilities that jeopardize personal information or potentially produce system-wide compromises.
