Why it matters
A new era of high performance computing (HPC) and enterprise AI is here. As enterprises scale, many face challenges such as managing complex ecosystems of hardware and software or gaining control over their data. According to recent research, 95% of enterprises believe working with a trusted technology partner like Dell Technologies reduces the risks associated with adopting new technologies.2 Additionally, 90% agree that bringing AI to their data creates greater value through enhanced control, fresh insights and secure access.3
Enter the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA—a game-changer for enterprises looking to accelerate outcomes, reduce complexity and maximize ROI. By integrating Dell's robust end-to-end infrastructure with NVIDIA AI technology, backed by expert guidance from Dell Professional Services, organizations can transform ideas into tangible results and stay ahead of evolving technologies and scaling needs.
Accelerate deployment with integrated, automated platforms
Dell's storage and AI solutions offerings help enterprises automate deployments, optimize performance and deliver real-time AI applications with greater efficiency and reliability.
- Dell ObjectScale and PowerScale, the Dell AI Data Platform's storage engines for unstructured data, are now integrated with the NVIDIA NIXL library, part of NVIDIA Dynamo. This integration enables scalable KV Cache storage, reuse and sharing, achieving a 1-second Time to First Token (TTFT) at a full context window of 131K tokens – 19X faster than standard vLLM – while reducing infrastructure costs and overcoming GPU memory capacity bottlenecks.4
- The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA now includes solutions with Dell PowerEdge XE7740/XE7745 servers featuring NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and NVIDIA Hopper GPUs. These proven and validated offers feature next-level AI acceleration and computing power to execute advanced use cases—from large-scale multimodal models to emerging agentic AI applications and from enterprise-grade inferencing to training workloads.
- The Dell Automation Platform, now expanded to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, will deliver smarter, more automated experiences by deploying validated, optimized solutions with a secure framework. This approach will produce repeatable outcomes, eliminates guesswork, and helps unlock the full potential of AI-driven use cases powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing.
- Software-driven tools like the AI code assistant with Tabnine and agentic AI platform with Cohere North are now automated, getting AI workloads into production faster, streamlining operations and enhancing scalability.
- Beyond the traditional data center, Dell's ecosystem enablers for AI PCs offer organizations expanded silicon options, now supporting NVIDIA RTX Blackwell GPUs and NVIDIA RTX Ada GPUs, ensuring compatibility across a broader range of Dell devices.
- Dell Professional Services provide turnkey interactive AI use case pilots using real customer data to validate business value ahead of scaled investments. These expert-led pilots offer a hands-on preview for experimentation with clear success metrics and KPIs, delivering tangible ROI.
Uplevel AI performance with next-generation infrastructure
Dell infrastructure updates accelerate HPC and AI innovation by delivering platforms with powerful performance, scalability and streamlined management. These solutions will help organizations build efficient systems for modern workloads.
- The Dell PowerEdge XE8712 server, available next month, sets a new standard by delivering the industry's highest GPU density in a standard rack with up to 144 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs per Dell IR7000 rack.5 This breakthrough enables next-generation AI and HPC at rack scale, complemented by unified rack-level automation and monitoring via Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), OpenManage Enterprise (OME) and the Integrated Rack Controller (IRC) for advanced thermal controls.
- Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Dell Technologies now supports NVIDIA Spectrum-X platforms, in addition to NVIDIA's Cumulus OS. Designed to bring hyperscale networking capabilities to a unified, multi-vendor environment, SONiC combines the flexibility of open-source technology with Dell's enterprise-grade features and trusted support. This empowers customers to confidently build open, standards-based AI infrastructure, delivering powerful performance and streamlined management for modern workloads.
- The latest release of SmartFabric Manager will now be extended to Dell's Enterprise SONiC on NVIDIA's Spectrum-X platforms as well, helping customers with faster, error-free setups that reduce deployment times significantly, with minimal manual intervention.
Expanded AI ecosystem offers enterprises choice
As enterprises right-size their AI investments, picking the right tools to help get the job done is a top priority. Red Hat OpenShift for the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA is now validated on more Dell PowerEdge systems, helping enterprises operationalize AI at scale to transform business operations.
In addition to the Dell PowerEdge R760xa, the Dell PowerEdge XE9680 featuring NVIDIA H100 and H200 Tensor Core GPUs, is now supported, offering more choice for enterprises looking to accelerate their AI adoption at scale. This combination of Red Hat OpenShift tools, controls and governance with Dell's secure, trusted infrastructure lets organizations scale AI with confidence.
