Computer Purchasing Guidelines

The applications and systems used in CVMBS are compatible with most mainstream platforms, but there are some exceptions to consider before making your purchase. Please contact the CVMBS IT Services Helpdesk if you have questions or concerns.

• RECOMMENDED: Computers running the Windows operating system
  All CSU and CVMBS applications and systems, including the Veterinary Teaching Hospital’s medical record software and the Veterinary Diagnostic Lab’s accessioning software, are designed to work with the current, supported version of Microsoft Windows.​
• MOSTLY COMPATIBLE: Apple Computers
  Most web-based CSU and CVMBS applications and systems are compatible with Apple MacOS; however, certain applications at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and Veterinary Diagnostic Lab are designed specifically to run on the Windows operating system. You may install Microsoft Windows via Boot Camp, Parallels, or another virtualization software in order to run these applications, but these options may incur additional licensing costs. Virtual Desktop Interface software can be used to access the medical record system, however this option is only available to Apple computers capable of running newer versions of the Apple’s operating system (MacOS Sierra 10.12 or newer). The Veterinary Diagnostic Lab accessioning software can only be accessed from a device running the current, supported version of Microsoft Windows.
• MOSTLY COMPATIBLE: Tablets (Apple and Android)
  Most web-based CSU and CVMBS applications and systems are compatible with Apple iOS and Android OS; however, certain applications at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and Veterinary Diagnostic Lab are designed specifically to run on the Windows operating system. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital medical record software can be accessed from an iOS iPad or iPhone (iOS 10 or newer) or Android phone or tablet (Android 5.0 or newer), however the Veterinary Diagnostic Lab accessioning software can only be accessed from a device running the current, supported version of Microsoft Windows. Printing from an Apple iOS or Android OS device to a CVMBS printer is not supported.
• NOT RECOMMENDED: Google ChromeBooks
  Most web-based CSU and CVMBS applications and systems are compatible with Chrome OS, however they require some manual configuration in order to connect to the CSU wireless network, the CVMBS network drives, and CSU VPN for off-campus access. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital medical record software can be accessed from a Chromebook, however the Veterinary Diagnostic Lab accessioning software can only be accessed from a device running the current, supported version of Microsoft Windows.
