How to use this deck
This deck is very straight forward. The only thing you need to know are:
Any columns that are gray indicate a server you may see a competitor position against the specific UCS server, but it is not a valid – apples to apples – comparison.
We have made every effort to be complete and correct with the available data.
If you find any errors or inconsistencies, please contact:Bill Shields [email protected] or Chris Dunk [email protected]
