BUSINESS GRADE HARDWARE

Reliable Business Hardware Recommended and Supported by GCS 

 

The right hardware directly impacts performance, reliability, and long-term support costs. At GCS, we recommend and deploy business-class hardware that is proven, supportable, and designed for professional environments—not consumer-grade systems. 

 

Preferred Hardware Partner – Dell Commercial Systems 

 

GCS primarily deploys Dell’s commercial hardware line, which has consistently proven to be reliable, well-supported, and cost-effective for business use. 

 

Why Dell Commercial Hardware 

  • Built specifically for business environments 

  • Consistent driver and firmware support 

  • Excellent long-term availability of replacement parts 

  • Industry-leading warranty and service options 

 

Warranty Standards at GCS 

  • All Dell systems sold by GCS include 3 years of ProSupport 

  • Laptops include ProSupport Plus, which adds: 

  • Accidental damage coverage 

  • Screen and component protection 

  • Faster priority repair and replacement 

 

This ensures minimal downtime and predictable support costs. 

 

Lenovo as a Secondary Option 

 

In rare circumstances—such as supply chain shortages or events like the COVID-era inventory constraints—GCS may recommend Lenovo commercial systems. 

 

Lenovo systems meet our standards for: 

  • Business-class reliability 

  • Warranty support 

  • Long-term usability 

 

However, Dell remains our primary and preferred platform whenever available. 

 

The Shift to Laptops & Docking Stations 

 

Modern businesses are increasingly moving away from traditional desktops in favor of laptops paired with docking stations. 

 

Why This Model Works 

  • Mobility for hybrid and in-office work 

  • Reduced hardware footprint 

  • Easier replacement and upgrades 

 

Performance Without Compromise 

  • Windows 11 Pro systems 

  • Thunderbolt docking stations 

  • Support for multiple high-resolution monitors 

  • Desktop-class performance for most workloads 

 

This setup delivers the flexibility of a laptop with the productivity of a full workstation. 

 

Windows Systems – Built for Business 

 

All Windows systems deployed by GCS: 

  • Run Windows 11 Pro 

  • Support advanced security features 

  • Integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and business applications 

 

Windows 11 Pro ensures compatibility, manageability, and long-term support. 

 

Apple Hardware in Business Environments 

 

Most modern business software is now compatible with macOS, making Apple hardware a viable option for many organizations. 

 

Choosing Apple Systems 

  • High-quality build and performance 

  • Long lifespan 

  • Strong ecosystem 

 

In some cases, GCS can: 

  • Order Apple hardware on your behalf 

  • Assist with purchasing directly from Apple 

 

Important Apple Support Considerations 

  • Always purchase AppleCare 

  • Components are not user-replaceable 

  • Repairs typically require an Apple Store or authorized service provider 

 

While this is a limitation, Apple systems are built extremely well and are often very reliable. 

 

GCS & macOS Support 

  • GCS fully supports macOS environments 

  • Our entire internal software stack runs on macOS 

  • We have the experience to manage and support Apple systems in business settings 

 

Server Hardware – Built for Reliability 

 

For on-premise or hybrid environments, GCS deploys business-grade server hardware designed for continuous operation. 

  • Properly sized for workloads 

  • Redundant components where required 

  • Long-term supportability 

  • Designed for virtualization and business applications 

 

Quality Repairs & Components 

 

When repairs are required: 

  • GCS uses name-brand, proven components 

  • No generic or low-quality parts 

  • No compromise on system stability or reliability 

 

Saving a few dollars on substandard hardware often results in performance issues, instability, or premature failure—something we do not allow. 

 

Hardware You Can Trust 

 

Whether it’s workstations, laptops, servers, or mixed Windows and macOS environments, GCS delivers: 

  • Business-class hardware 

  • Proper warranties and protection 

  • Long-term reliability 

  • Professional deployment and support 

 

Hardware should enable productivity—not create support problems. 

GCS makes sure it does the former.
