Target Code Revisions

January 11, 2021

Dell Technologies carefully evaluates and monitors code deployment data to ensure product releases meet our
stringent expectations to provide our customers with reliable products and solutions. We pride ourselves in exceeding
the five-9s industry-standard for availability. Our target code recommendations are evaluated against criteria including
runtime time in field, number of installations, and quality metrics.

Definitions:

Target Stack: A collection of specific Target Code revisions that have completed stringent interoperability testing. The
Target Stack is recommended for environments with multiple DELL EMC system types in the solution environment.

Target Code: A specific code release that has successfully met specific criteria that enables it to be a highly trusted
and recommended code release. Target Code and Newest Code Released can both be the same revision level if the
right criteria have been met.
