Minimum Requirements

This addendum (“Minimum Requirements Addendum”) is governed under the Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Avrem Technologies, LLC (“Avrem”), and the Client (“Client” or “you” or “user”) as identified in the applicable quote (“Service Quotation”), which refers to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Capitalized terms in this Minimum Requirements Addendum will have the same meaning as those in the Agreement unless otherwise indicated below. The Agreement is accessible online via Avrem’s website at [HYPERLINK TO BE ADDED]. Please review the entirety of the Agreement and these Minimum Requirements. By assenting to the terms and conditions of the applicable SOW and the Agreement, Client agrees to abide by the Minimum Requirements set forth herein.

This document is directed at providing minimum requirements for systems suitability for the provision of Avrem’s Services. By following these Minimum Requirements, Client will be positioned to take full advantage of the computing and network environment subject to Avrem’s Services, improve the interoperability among computing platforms, encourage hardware acquisitions which remain usable for at least four (4) year life cycles, and better facilitate a working relationship with Avrem. For purposes of this document, “minimum” does not mean marginal. The specifications listed herein are for computers that will be adequate for most users for at least four (4) years.

1. Expandability
   Computers should be expandable – both memory (RAM) and device attachment (slot/ports). Operating systems, applications and external devices tend to demand ever-increasing system resources, so expandability is important to ensure that they remain usable during their life cycles. Consider the number of USB2 and USB3 ports available, as well as the video display out port. Adapters may be needed to connect other devices, such as projectors, used most frequently by Client.
2. Transfer of Information
   Transferring information between devices used by Client can be facilitated by various means, including, but not limited to, USB drives, Bluetooth connections, cloud-based sharing, and physical network set-ups.
3. Desktop Docking and Display
   Mobile workstations with desktop docking ability may be ideal depending on the needs of Client. In such a case, an inexpensive display might be suitable for the mobile workstations while large, full-color screens and docks are used for Client’s stationary workstations.

Models of computers that have at least an EPEAT Silver rating. These computers meet the latest ENERGY STAR specifications and are designed to be easily recycled.

Servers must be running a valid and legally licensed copy of Windows Server Standard 2016 or better; Server Standard 2019 is preferred and recommended.

External hard drive or available backup capabilities via network connectivity. Client agrees to do additional offsite data backup and must have established documented procedures to backup Protected Data to maintain retrievable exact copies of Protected Data. The plan must include a regular schedule for making backups, storing backups offsite, an inventory of backup media, and the amount of time to restore Protected Data should it be lost. Protected Data shall mean and include all information that is not considered public, or that needs to be protected for any reason.

These Minimum Requirements are subject to revision at any time Avrem determines a change is necessary. The content of this statement is subject to change as a result of experience, new information, changes in process requirements and the availability of resources. Avrem will inform Client of those changes by whatever means Avrem deems most effective. It is Client’s responsibility to ensure that the use of computing devices conforms to the Minimum Requirements as currently in effect.

AGREED AND ACCEPTED BY CLIENT AS DEMONSTRATED WITH ELECTRONICALLY DOCUMENTED ACCEPTANCE TO THE APPLICABLE SERVICE QUOTATION AND/OR SOW WHICH REFERENCES THE AGREEMENT THEREIN.
