Caltrans IT Hardware and Software Standards
Introduction
Purpose
The IT Hardware and Software Standards document specifies the approved IT products, and
applications that are currently supported by Caltrans. These hardware and software standards
were established based on current technology, and Caltrans business needs. Conformance to
these standards will ensure that a reliable and efficient computing environment is available to all
Caltrans employees.
Adherence to these hardware and software standards will:
• Optimize the level of support through shared infrastructure, services, and expertise
• Manage the cost of procurement, refresh, and support of technology
• Ensure the compatibility and interoperability of products
• Improve security and network manageability
Intended Audience
All Caltrans Programs, Districts, Divisions, Traffic Management Centers (TMC), and Projects, are
required to comply with these IT Standards. The Department Chief Information Officer (CIO) is
responsible for establishing IT policy, and enforcing these standards.
Exceptions to these standards must be approved by the Department’s Chief Technology Officer
(CTO) prior to procurement, and are granted on a case-by-case basis. The Exception Process is
detailed in Appendix B.
Categorization of Standards
IT hardware and software components are categorized as Standard, Emerging, or Sunset.

Desktop, Laptop, Printer, and Mobile Computing 1
There are typically three levels of desktop, laptop, and mobile computing users:
• Tier 1 Users
• Tier 2 Users
• Tier 3 Users
Tier 1 Users is the default compute level generally applicable to most Caltrans employees. Tier 1
Users use typical office automation applications such as the Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Acrobat
products, web browsers, etc. Tier 2 Users use all of the Tier 1 User applications, in addition, they
use Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) applications such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, Bentley
Microstation and associated plugins. Tier 3 Users is an advanced compute level intended to
support TMC users, video editing, application developers, application administrators, research
efforts, advanced 3-D modeling, and similar use cases otherwise exceeding basic compute
needs. It also supports the needs of advanced engineering requirements specifying high-end
graphics – e.g. Geographic Information System (GIS), 3-D mapping and imagery, etc.

Printers
Data from recent statewide inventory efforts shows that Caltrans has 9000+ printers to support
about 18,000 employees. Caltrans is focused on improving the ratio of one printer to two
employees to a more efficient level such as one printer to support 12 – 15 employees, by
consolidating the use of printers, and, when feasible, keeping existing printers.

11
To ensure interoperability and to enable data sharing, new CADD and GIS applications must consider
compatibility with both CADD and GIS standards.
12
A component of the Caltrans SaaS GIS standard offering for enterprise hosting of server GIS functions: Currently
there is a deployment of the ESRI Platform that couples with FME Server for data Extract, Transform, Load where
needed, as well as Voyager Search for Geospatial data discovery.

Specific programs within Caltrans use other specialized CADD software packages – most considered standard
and many (if not all) used to address a specific business need or design solution (e.g. traffic sign design or
roundabout design).

Storage
General Purpose Storage

General purpose storage is that accessed by typical staff workstations over the internal network,
and primarily contains unstructured (file) data.
Standards maintenance will address storage system life cycles by tracking current and aging
standards as well as ‘Future (Refresh)’ or ‘look-ahead’ storage solutions across all performance,
levels as applicable.

APPENDIX A - Standards Management Process
To address changes in technology and/or business needs, the Caltrans IT Hardware and
Software Standards will be updated on an annual basis.
Ongoing review of this document will ensure accuracy and compatibility with business
objectives. The following items may drive changes to the standards:
• Changes in technology
• Security requirements
• New business needs
• Exception request trends
• Specific requests

APPENDIX B – Standards Exception Process
Exception requests may be submitted to the Service Desk of the IT Infrastructure Division. The
Service Desk Manager shall coordinate with the appropriate IT functional areas including the
Information Security Services Division to review and make the recommendation to the CTO. The
CTO will review, approve or deny exception requests. Approval of exceptions will be tracked by
the Service Desk.
Exception Process for Maintenance & Operation/ Break Fix
In the event of an issue with maintenance and operation and/or break fix issues, and it becomes
necessary to purchase legacy/sunset equipment, the CIO or CTO may direct the acquisition unit
to make essential purchases to maintain business continuity.

APPENDIX C – Glossary of Terms
