Strictly speaking, you can get traditional vendors to do firmware signing -- but getting them to put your public key in there will be more difficult, with volume most of the big vendors will be... accommodating.

Dell's 12th generation PowerEdge for example has a pretty good baseline outlined here:

But that only covers the BIOS really, not things like firmwares in different PCI cards. But its a start.

Can you guys do a DB machine type with more RAM? 128Gb isn't enough. :)

We've gotten this request a few times, can you elaborate on why you need so much RAM? How much is enough?

So that most of our hot data fits in RAM? I would expect the type of machine you guys are selling to come with 256Gb standard, to be honest (and the cost of another 128Gb of RAM is negligible -- I'd pay a couple more $ per day or whatever for it).
