Why This Partnership Matters
The convergence of HPC and enterprise AI has ushered in a transformative era for businesses. However, scaling AI initiatives often comes with hurdles such as fragmented hardware and software ecosystems, inefficient data management, and security concerns. According to recent research, 95% of enterprises believe partnering with trusted technology providers like Dell Technologies mitigates risks associated with adopting new technologies. Additionally, 90% recognize that bringing AI closer to their data enhances control, unlocks fresh insights, and ensures secure access.
The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA addresses these pain points by offering a unified platform that simplifies AI adoption. With expert guidance from Dell Professional Services, organizations can seamlessly transition from experimentation to production-grade AI deployments, driving tangible business value.
Accelerating Deployment with Integrated Platforms
Dell’s latest advancements focus on automating deployments, optimizing workflows, and delivering real-time AI applications with unparalleled efficiency.
- Enhanced Storage Engines:
Dell ObjectScale and PowerScale, the storage engines powering the Dell AI Data Platform, are now integrated with NVIDIA Dynamo via the NVIDIA NIXL library. This integration accelerates AI workflows by enabling scalable KV Cache storage, reuse, and sharing. It achieves a remarkable 1-second Time to First Token (TTFT) at a full context window of 131K tokens—19 times faster than standard vLLM solutions—while reducing infrastructure costs and overcoming GPU memory bottlenecks. - Next-Gen Servers and GPUs:
The Dell AI Factory now supports configurations featuring Dell PowerEdge XE7740/XE7745 servers equipped with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and NVIDIA Hopper GPUs. These servers deliver unmatched acceleration and computational power, supporting advanced use cases ranging from large-scale multimodal models to emerging agentic AI applications. Whether it’s training or inferencing, these validated solutions ensure peak performance for demanding workloads. - Automated Deployment Frameworks:
The expanded Dell Automation Platform simplifies the deployment of full-stack AI workloads within the Dell AI Factory. By leveraging automated, optimized, and secure frameworks, organizations can achieve repeatable outcomes, eliminate guesswork, and unlock the full potential of AI-driven initiatives powered by NVIDIA’s accelerated computing. - Software-Driven Tools:
Innovations like the AI code assistant Tabnine and the agentic AI platform Cohere North are now automated, expediting the transition of AI workloads into production. These tools streamline operations, enhance scalability, and enable faster time-to-value.
Beyond traditional data centers, Dell’s ecosystem enablers for AI PCs now support NVIDIA RTX Blackwell and RTX Ada GPUs, ensuring compatibility across a broader range of Dell devices and extending AI capabilities to edge environments.
Elevating AI Performance with Next-Generation Infrastructure
Dell’s infrastructure updates set new benchmarks for HPC and AI innovation, delivering platforms that combine powerful performance, scalability, and streamlined management.
- Dell PowerEdge XE8712 Server:
Available next month, the Dell PowerEdge XE8712 server redefines GPU density by supporting up to 144 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs per Dell IR7000 rack. This breakthrough enables next-generation AI and HPC at rack scale, complemented by unified rack-level automation and monitoring through iDRAC, OpenManage Enterprise (OME), and the Integrated Rack Controller (IRC) for advanced thermal controls. - Enterprise SONiC Distribution:
Dell Technologies’ Enterprise SONiC now supports NVIDIA Spectrum-X platforms alongside NVIDIA’s Cumulus OS. This integration brings hyperscale networking capabilities to multi-vendor environments, combining open-source flexibility with Dell’s enterprise-grade features and trusted support. Customers can confidently build standards-based AI infrastructure that delivers exceptional performance and simplified management. - SmartFabric Manager Enhancements:
The latest release of SmartFabric Manager extends its capabilities to Dell’s Enterprise SONiC on NVIDIA Spectrum-X platforms. This advancement facilitates faster, error-free setups, significantly reducing deployment times with minimal manual intervention.
Expanded AI Ecosystem Offers Choice and Scalability
As enterprises fine-tune their AI investments, selecting the right tools is critical. Red Hat OpenShift for the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA is now validated on additional Dell PowerEdge systems, including the Dell PowerEdge R760xa and XE9680, which feature NVIDIA H100 and H200 Tensor Core GPUs. This expanded compatibility provides more options for organizations seeking to accelerate AI adoption at scale. The combination of Red Hat OpenShift’s governance tools and Dell’s secure infrastructure ensures confident scaling of AI initiatives.
