Dell Technologies Celebrates One-Year Anniversary of AI Factory with Exciting New Offerings

Dell Technologies Inc. recently celebrated the first anniversary of its collaboration with Nvidia to launch the Dell AI Factory, designed specifically for enterprise artificial intelligence development. With over 2,000 customers already leveraging the platform, Dell is making waves with a suite of new PCs, infrastructure tools, and software solutions focused on advancing AI capabilities.

Cutting-Edge Servers for High Performance

At the heart of Dell’s latest offerings is the impressive PowerEdge XE8712 liquid-cooled server, which is uniquely designed for high-performance computing applications. This powerhouse utilizes Nvidia’s GB200 NVL4 platform—first introduced in November of last year—combining two Nvidia Grace CPUs with four Blackwell B200 GPUs on a single motherboard, boasting an astonishing 1.3 terabytes of coherent memory. Each rack can support an astonishing 144 Nvidia B200 GPUs, which is a significant leap for enterprises tackling demanding AI workloads.

Liquid cooling technology elevates this server’s capabilities, allowing each rack to support up to 264 kilowatts of power. The modular design, integrated with Dell’s Integrated Rack 7000 infrastructure, includes disaggregated power shelves that enhance efficiency even further by handling 480 kilowatts of power.

“A core part of the value we’re delivering is not just in the server itself, but also the rack-scale approach we’ve adopted,” explained Varun Chhabra, senior vice president of infrastructure and telecom marketing.

Dev-Friendly PCs on the Rise

Dell is also expanding its Pro Max AI PC portfolio, introducing groundbreaking developer workstations, notebooks, and desktops. Among the highlights is the Dell Pro Max with GB10, which features the Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, providing up to one petaflop of performance alongside 128GB of unified memory.

For those seeking an even more powerful option, the new Dell Pro Max with GB300 stands out as a top-tier deskside system. It boasts an impressive 20 petaflops of performance, 784 gigabytes of unified system memory, and an ability to train models with up to 460 billion parameters.

“Both of these systems are specifically created for AI developers,” noted Kevin Terwilliger, general manager of Dell’s PC business. “This tech, previously limited to data centers, is now available right at your desk.”

New models will feature Nvidia’s RTX PRO Blackwell Generation GPUs and high-performance CPU options from Intel and AMD, ensuring that these PCs will be the most powerful yet, showing up to a 36% increase in speed compared to earlier versions.

An Innovative AI Data Platform

In addition to hardware advancements, Dell and Nvidia are rolling out the Dell AI Data Platform, a comprehensive deployment solution aimed at securely managing AI applications. Catering to structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, the platform enhances data processing capabilities for near-real-time processing—designed to prevent bottlenecks for data-hungry GPUs.

With features such as always-on processing and reduced redundancy in data handling through Nvidia’s NeMo framework, users can expect significantly improved throughput. Protection features, including encryption and proactive threat detection, ensure a robust data security environment as well.

Additionally, PowerScale storage solutions have received significant enhancements, offering up to 220% faster data ingestion and 99% improved data retrieval speeds compared to previous generations.

Your Next Steps with Dell’s Offerings

Dell’s Pro Max desktops and laptops will be available starting this month, and there’s plenty to be excited about. Whether you’re a developer or a business looking to enhance your AI capabilities, these new technologies are sure to revolutionize how you work.

As the AI landscape continues to evolve, innovations from Dell Technologies are paving the way for more efficient and powerful ways to harness artificial intelligence.
