TRW Automotive standardizes on Dell

TRW Automotive has signed a three-year contract extension with Dell Computer to standardize on Dell enterprise products and services for its 200-plus facilities in 24 countries. TRW will purchase hardware and services including 24,000 Dell OptiPlex desktops, Latitude notebooks and Dell Precision workstations; hundreds of Dell PowerEdge servers, and dozens of Dell/EMC storage systems. The deployment will support TRW's move to a standardized IT environment to streamline operations and help reduce costs across its global manufacturing process, and will help TRW consolidate its data centers down to four located in North America, Germany, Brazil and Kuala Lumpur.
