Evaluate Specifications

SSI offers prospective adopters to evaluate selective specifications to better understand the value component standardization will bring to their efforts in the server industry. Evaluation is FREE, and it does not require a membership commitment. The evaluation is for a limited time and is for the purpose of helping companies decide whether to join SSI.

To evaluate any of the available SSI specifications, click on the ‘evaluation link’ next to the specification you would like to evaluate and check off all the specifications in which you are interested.

SSI requires you to complete a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) prior to sending you specifications for evaluation. The NDA allows you to review the specifications only; no license is granted to design to the standards or state you comply with them.
