The "Certified for Windows Server 2008" and "Certified for Windows Server 2003" or "Designed for Windows Server 2003" logos help customers identify products that deliver a high-quality computing experience with Microsoft® Windows Server operating systems.

Hardware, software and device drivers can qualify for the logo by meeting the requirements published in the Windows Logo Program. Hardware vendors must test their own products using a downloadable test suite and submitting passing test results to the Winqual website. Software vendors must submit their products to an independent 3rd party testing authority to ensure they meet the testing requirements for the Windows Logo Program.

When you research applications, make sure you verify the application is listed here. While knowledge base articles, data sheets, and testimonials are excellent resources, the Windows Server Catalog is the only industry standard that designates technical compliance with specific functions of Windows Server computing.

Products listed next to a logo in the Windows Server Catalog are independently certified to comply with best practices for computing on the Windows Server platform. Deploying certified applications means integrating quality-assured products with confidence in your network.
