ICT Equipment

Information and Communication Technology hardware including servers, storage systems, and networking devices.

Eurostat defines ICT equipment as follows:

Information and communication technology, or ICT, refers to all technical means used to manage information and support communication. This includes both computer and network hardware, as well as their software.

We agree with this definition, but would add that 'software' in this case refers to the firmware of ICT equipment, not the operating software, virtualization software, or application software running on the equipment itself.

UN-ESCWA defines ICT equipment as follows:

Devices with electronic controls and the electronic components that are part of these devices.
