This is a really good question. It is usually qualified with either hardware or software i.e what hardware platform are you running, and what software platform did you implement on the new hardware?
In troubleshooting, such as attempting to help a friend with a problem, knowing the platform - hardware/software - is essential to resolving the problem.

a platform would be the type of operating system that a computer is running
Windows 32 bit platform
Windows 64 bit platform
Linux platform
Unix platform
