Additional Notes
The brand-name Dell hardware is justified due to critical compatibility with existing systems and developed source code, preventing significant unplanned software development and integration efforts. A market survey identified Dell Federal Systems L.P. as the preferred supplier for custom servers. The equipment will be connected within the lab to create the MCS shipboard representative network and will be air-gapped to the GIG.
