Dell Unveils Next Generation AI Solutions with Nvidia

Dell Technologies has announced updates to its Dell AI Factory with Nvidia, introducing new infrastructure, software and managed services aimed at organisations moving from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide implementation.

The new generation of advanced compute solutions includes air-cooled Dell PowerEdge XE9780 and XE9785 servers designed for integration into existing enterprise data centres, alongside liquid-cooled Dell PowerEdge XE9780L and XE9785L servers for rack-scale deployment.

These new PowerEdge servers support up to 192 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs with direct to chip liquid cooling and can be customised with up to 256 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs per Dell IR7000 rack. Dell claims these platforms can deliver up to four times faster large language model training with the 8-way Nvidia HGX B300.

The Dell PowerEdge XE9712 featuring Nvidia GB300 NVL72 offers efficiency at rack scale for training and Dell states it provides 50 times more AI reasoning inference output and 5x improvement in throughput. The platform includes new Dell PowerCool technology to help businesses achieve greater power efficiency.

Dell also plans to support the Nvidia Vera CPU and Nvidia Vera Rubin platform with a new Dell PowerEdge XE server designed for Dell Integrated Rack Scalable Systems.

“We’re on a mission to bring AI to millions of customers around the world,” says Michael Dell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dell Technologies. “Our job is to make AI more accessible. With the Dell AI Factory with Nvidia, enterprises can manage the entire AI lifecycle across use cases, from training to deployment, at any scale.”

Dell AI Data Platform improvements focus on high quality data access

Dell Technologies has enhanced its AI Data Platform to provide AI applications with continuous access to data. Improvements to Dell ObjectScale support large-scale AI deployments while helping reduce cost and data centre footprint with the introduction of a denser, software-defined system. The platform now includes Nvidia BlueField-3 and Spectrum-4 networking integrations to boost performance and scalability.

Dell has introduced a high-performance solution built with Dell PowerScale, Dell Project Lightning and PowerEdge XE servers.

Dell ObjectScale will support S3 over RDMA, which Dell claims achieves up to 230% higher throughput, up to 80% lower latency and 98% reduced CPU load compared to traditional S3 for better GPU utilisation.

The company has also announced an integrated solution that incorporates the Nvidia AI Data Platform to accelerate curated insights from data and accelerate agentic AI applications and tools.

Dell Managed Services for Nvidia AI Factory introduced to help organisations overcome resource constraints

To address the challenge of skills gaps in enterprise AI deployment, Dell has launched Managed Services for the Dell AI Factory with Nvidia. These services manage the full Nvidia AI solutions stack, including AI platforms, infrastructure and Nvidia AI Enterprise software.

The Dell managed services offering includes 24/7 monitoring, reporting, version upgrades and patching, aimed at teams facing resource and expertise constraints.

Dell is expanding its networking portfolio to include the Dell PowerSwitch SN5600, SN2201 Ethernet, part of the Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform, and Nvidia Quantum-X800 InfiniBand switches. These high-density switches deliver up to 800 gigabits per second of throughput and are supported by Dell ProSupport and Deployment Services.

The Nvidia AI Enterprise software platform, available directly from Dell, offers organisations the option to implement Nvidia NIM, Nvidia NeMo microservices, Nvidia Blueprints, Nvidia NeMo Retriever for RAG and Nvidia Llama Nemotron reasoning models on the Dell AI Factory with Nvidia.

Dell has also added Red Hat OpenShift availability on the Dell AI Factory with Nvidia to simplify business-critical AI deployments while providing flexibility and security.

The announcements come as organisations increasingly move from AI experimentation to implementation phases, creating demand for accessible AI skills and technologies across sectors.

“AI factories are the infrastructure of modern industry, generating intelligence to power work across healthcare, finance and manufacturing,” says Jensen Huang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Nvidia. “With Dell Technologies, we're offering the broadest line of Blackwell AI systems to serve AI factories in clouds, enterprises and at the edge.”
