TOKYO - The Japanese unit of U.S. computer maker Dell Inc. said Thursday it will supply some 56,000 personal computers to Japan's Defense Agency.
Terms were not disclosed but Kyodo News agency said the deal was worth some 4 billion yen ($34 million).
Dell and local partner Uniadex will supply more than 32,000 Optiplex desktop PCs with 15-inch monitors and 24,000 Inspiron notebook PCs to the Ground, Maritime and Air Self-Defense Forces by the end of September, Dell said in a statement.
The order, which also includes software, maintenance and other services, is the largest ever for Dell's Japanese subsidiary, the company said in a statement.
Dell and Uniadex in February announced plans to jointly provide network, security system, infrastructure consulting and maintenance services for their clients.
The computer purchase is aimed at improving protection of confidential information, as well as cost cutting and labor costs, Dell said in a statement.
