Introduction
Dell EMC certifies and supports a large number of components but some businesses have requirements that fall outside of what is currently supported.
Dell EMC’s Custom Solutions Engineering (CSE) team works with businesses that require the integration of non-Dell supported, yet technically feasible components with Dell products (servers, laptops, workstations etc...)
This group of highly skilled engineers certifies 3
rd party hardware, non-standard operating systems, and alternative hardware configurations. The team can develop custom UEFI, BIOS, and firmware to support specific requirements.
