Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / RFP for IT system
Spanish term or phrase: parque de dispositivos
"Información sobre la edad media del parque de dispositivos expresados en la pestaña anterior"
"Realizar un seguimiento proactivo sobre el parque de dispositivos hardware, estableciendo planes anuales de renovación de equipos"

Park doesn't feel right. Maybe fleet" (like cars) or maybe inventory?
Any bright ideas please?
Many thanks!

  -> Many thanks Neil! ;-)
neutral  Christopher Michael Millard: The Spanish makes it clear it's referring to the amount of hardware resources they have available. Stock brings to mind the number of units of equipment they're trying to sell rather than the body of resources they have and use (like staff PCs).

  -> "available hardware" is "hardware stock".//No, "stock" fits this context perfectly.

Explanation:
I've seen this in a few English-language texts, and a quick google seems to confirm it's not an uncommon term. Random example from the search results below.

neutral  neilmac: I've been translating IT and EDI texts for over 15 years and never heard of it. As far as I'm concerned, fleet is for vehicles. "Computer Fleet" gets about 10K google hits though...
