HPE OEM Windows Server Reseller Option Kit (ROK) Reseller and Customer Benefits
Your customers need tools that accelerate the complexity of getting servers deployed quickly and inexpensively. The HPE OEM Microsoft Reseller Option Kit (ROK) was created to help! HPE ROK licenses are Microsoft Windows Server Operating System (OS) licenses that are sold by HPE Reseller Partners and optimized specifically for HPE Servers. ROK offers customers proven reliability and performance at an affordable price with easy purchase and setup. HPE ROK is the very same Windows Server OS one would get directly from Microsoft. However, through HPE’s OEM agreement with Microsoft, they are able to customize and optimize Windows Server specifically for HPE servers and it is BIOS-locked to ensure it can easily be installed on HPE Servers.
ROK Customer Benefits
