Apple hardware is recognized, but the hardware::apple module currently doesn't do anything.

Dell - hardware::dell

Ensures that the "dataeng" service (part of Dell's storage management framework) is running.

HP - hardware::hp

Installs the HP Software Delivery Repository.

If the "hp-health" package is updated, the "hp-health" service is restarted.
