Full story
Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) expands the Dell AI Factory with
NVIDIA to include new server, edge, workstation, solutions and
services advancements that speed AI adoption and innovation.
"Organizations are moving quickly to capture the AI opportunity,
which is why our collaboration with NVIDIA is so important," said
Michael Dell, founder and CEO,
Dell Technologies. "Our expansion of
the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA continues our joint mission – we're
making it easy for organizations to implement AI so they can move
boldly into this next technological revolution."
"Generative AI requires a new type of computing infrastructure –
an AI factory that produces intelligence," said Jensen Huang,
founder and CEO, NVIDIA. "Together, NVIDIA and Dell are providing
the world's industries with a full-stack offering – including
computing, networking and software – that drives the copilots,
coding assistants, virtual customer service agents and industrial
digital twins of the digital enterprise."
Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA transforms data into insights and
outcomes
The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA integrates Dell's leading AI
portfolio with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, underpinned
by NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs, NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking
fabric and NVIDIA Bluefield DPUs. Customers can purchase integrated
capabilities tailored to their needs or pre-validated, full stack
solutions to get them started on AI use cases that require
accelerated performance like RAG, model training and inferencing.
Advancements to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA allow organizations
to:
Use advanced compute power to handle large scale AI
deployments
- The new Dell PowerEdge XE9680L delivers high
performance with support for eight NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs in a
smaller 4U form factor. The server provides the highest possible
rack-scale density for NVIDIA GPUs in an industry standard x86
rack, offering 33% more GPU density per node.1 The
platform offers 20% more PCIe Gen. 5 slots and double the
North/South network expansion capacity.2
Direct liquid cooling (DLC) improves overall efficiency with
greater cooling capacity for CPUs and GPUs. The PowerEdge XE9680L
is designed for easy serviceability and will be available fully
configured with advanced factory integration for rack-scale
deployments and onsite installation.
Dell is also announcing industry leading density and highly energy
efficient turnkey rack-scale solutions that speed time to value for
large GPU-accelerated deployments. Multiple variants will be
available including an air-cooled design supporting 64 GPUs in a
single rack, or a liquid cooled format featuring 72 NVIDIA
Blackwell GPUs in a single rack.
Accelerate edge AI application deployment with Dell
NativeEdge and NVIDIA
- Dell NativeEdge is the first edge orchestration
platform that automates the delivery of NVIDIA AI Enterprise
software,3 helping developers and IT operators easily
deploy AI applications and solutions at the edge. Businesses from
manufacturers to retailers can quickly and accurately analyze their
edge data with new Dell NativeEdge deployment blueprints which
include NVIDIA Metropolis video analytics, NVIDIA Riva speech and
translation capabilities and NVIDIA NIM inference
microservices.
Simplify AI application development and
deployment for faster time to value
- The new Dell Generative AI Solution for Digital
Assistants helps speed deployment of digital assistants that
deliver a personalized self-service experience for end users on a
full-stack Dell and NVIDIA solution. Implementation Services for
Digital Assistants help organizations design, plan, implement,
test and scale the solution.
- Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA solutions help organizations
quickly stand-up AI environments for a variety of use cases with
full stack deployment automation engineered in collaboration with
NVIDIA. Full stack automation reduces the time to value by up to
86% compared to doing it yourself.4 When combined with
NVIDIA NIM inference microservices, the overall time from delivery
to running inferencing jobs is even further reduced. NIM
microservices provide enterprise developers production-ready,
optimized inference engines for popular AI models available from
NVIDIA and its partner ecosystem.
- New Dell Accelerator Services for RAG on Precision AI
Workstations help shorten the AI development cycle and quickly
yield better performing AI applications through a tailored large
language model using RAG on a Dell Precision workstation with
NVIDIA AI Workbench, a development platform to experiment, test,
and prototype AI and ML projects in a more secure environment.
"Our research shows that organizations seek IT simplification,
but are challenged to achieve it. AI, while promising
simplification, brings its own set of complexities including
choice, data quality, consistency and security. Having a proven,
one-stop shop to help stand up the infrastructure, software and
services needed to realize value from AI can reduce risk and lower
costs," said Dave Vellante, chief
analyst, theCUBE Research. "Dell's end-to-end capabilities are a
core differentiator that we believe will translate to AI. The Dell
AI Factory with NVIDIA is a leading example of an AI solution
designed to simplify adoption for emerging AI workloads."
