Dell, Unisys Sign Deal with $1 Billion Potential

Dell Wednesday reaffirmed and expanded its previous service deal with Unisys
Corp. to sell servers, desktop and notebook computers, and new services —
an agreement the companies say may incur $1 billion in revenues over the
next three years.


The alliance includes original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreements in
which each company will re-sell servers manufactured by the other company,
desktop and notebook computer sourcing to Unisys customers, and new and
expanded services offerings to Dell customers.


Specific terms of the deal include:

  • Dell will acquire and sell 16- and 32-processor servers based on the
    Unisys CMP architecture under the Dell brand. Dell will be accountable to
    the customers, but will partner with Unisys to provide installation,
    maintenance, and technical services for the CMP servers

  • Unisys has chosen Dell as its partner for mid-range Intel-based
    servers. Unisys will sell Dell two-, four-, and eight-processor PowerEdge
    servers under the Unisys brand. Unisys will provide support and services to
    customers buying these servers, as it does for a range of server and PC
    vendors

  • Unisys will be a preferred service provider for installation, warranty
    and support services, network services and systems integration services for
    select Dell products

  • Dell and Unisys will provide Dell’s line of OptiPlex desktop and
    Latitude notebook personal computers and single-processor PowerEdge servers
    in selected Unisys services engagements, including managed network services,
    outsourcing, and technology standardization rollouts


A global outfit with 37,000 employees, Unisys works in 100 countries to
integrate and deliver solutions that help companies get up and running for
e-business.
