Dell Technologies continues to make enterprise AI adoption easier with the Dell AI Factory, expanding the world's broadest AI solutions portfolio. Powerful new infrastructure, solutions and services accelerate, simplify and streamline AI workloads and data management.
"Getting AI up and running across a company can be a real challenge," said Arthur Lewis, president, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell Technologies. "We're making it easier for our customers with new AI infrastructure, solutions and services that simplify AI deployments, paving the way for smarter, faster ways to work and a more adaptable future."
New AI infrastructure offers high-density, efficient compute and eases access to data to power AI workloads
Introduced earlier this year, the Dell Integrated Rack Scalable Systems (IRSS) program is a turnkey factory integration program that delivers fully loaded, plug-and-play rack-scale systems with Dell Smart Cooling. IRSS further simplifies deployment of energy efficient AI infrastructure with one-call service and support options for the entire rack. Once set up, Dell takes care of the packaging waste and recycling, and can help with responsible recycling of your old hardware.
Dell has expanded the program to include the Dell PowerEdge XE9685L and Dell PowerEdge XE7740 servers in the standard 19-inch Dell Integrated Rack 5000 (IR5000). The Dell IR5000 is designed for high-density applications in a space-efficient form factor, and delivers high performance without compromising on energy efficiency.
Dell plans to support the upcoming NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell NVL4 Superchip with a new Dell PowerEdge XE server designed for the Dell IR7000, supporting up to 144 GPUs per rack in a 50OU standard rack. The IR7000 rack supports large-scale HPC and AI workloads requiring high power and liquid cooling with the ability for near 100% heat capture.
Updates to the Dell Data Lakehouse provide enterprises with modern architectures for efficiently managing and analyzing data for AI tasks. This platform is built on AI-optimized hardware and a full-stack software suite, and will expand to include Apache Spark for distributed data processing at scale. For businesses managing massive data volumes, the new Spark integration will provide significant efficiency gains, with a unified approach for data analytics, management, processing and analysis for faster, more actionable insights.
"The continued reimagining and improvement of AI and HPC technologies is critical to accelerating discoveries across industries," said Dan Stanzione, executive director, Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). "With Dell's AI solutions we are building complex HPC systems that allow innovation to thrive in research communities. Ultimately, these advances have the potential to reshape society and drive progress that benefits everyone."
