Dell Technologies has announced new innovations across its Dell AI Factory in partnership with NVIDIA. These updates aim to help enterprises accelerate AI adoption and reduce time to value.
The company reported that demand for accessible AI skills and technologies is growing rapidly as enterprises shift from experimentation to implementation.
To meet this demand, Dell and NVIDIA have introduced enhanced AI infrastructure, solutions, and services. These updates are designed to streamline deployment and improve scalability, efficiency, and performance.
Dell revealed its latest PowerEdge servers that support NVIDIA's new Blackwell GPUs: The air-cooled Dell PowerEdge XE9780 and XE9785 simplify integration in existing data centers.
The liquid-cooled XE9780L and XE9785L accelerate rack-scale deployment and support up to 256 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs per IR7000 rack.
These servers are successors to Dell's fastest ramping solution, the PowerEdge XE9680. They enable up to 4x faster large language model training with the 8-way NVIDIA HGX B300.
Dell also introduced the PowerEdge XE9712 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72. This server offers up to 50x more inference output and 5x better throughput. It includes Dell PowerCool technology to enhance power efficiency.
By July 2025, the PowerEdge XE7745 will support NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. This platform meets the needs of physical and agentic AI applications, including robotics, digital twins, and multi-modal AI.
Dell plans to support the NVIDIA Vera CPU and the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform through a new PowerEdge XE server, built for Dell Integrated Rack Scalable Systems.
For networking, Dell expanded its portfolio with PowerSwitch SN5600 and SN2201 Ethernet, part of the NVIDIA Spectrum-X platform. These are joined by NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand switches, which offer up to 800 Gbps throughput. Dell ProSupport and Deployment Services will assist customers at every stage of deployment.
The company confirmed that Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA now supports the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design. This includes Dell and NVIDIA compute, networking, storage, and AI Enterprise software for a complete AI solution.
Dell Technologies also revealed updates to its AI Data Platform. The platform now provides AI apps with constant access to high-quality data. New features include: Dell ObjectScale with NVIDIA BlueField-3 and Spectrum-4 integration for better scalability.
A new solution combining PowerScale, Project Lightning, and PowerEdge XE servers with KV cache and NVIDIA's NIXL Libraries, ideal for distributed inference.
Dell Object Scale will support S3 over RDMA. This delivers 230% higher throughput, 80% lower latency, and 98% reduced CPU load.
The company also introduced an integrated solution using the NVIDIA AI Data Platform. It is designed to accelerate insights and support agentic AI tools.
On the software side, Dell announced that the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform is now available directly. It includes NVIDIA NIM, NeMo microservices, Blueprints, NeMo Retriever for RAG, and Llama Nemotron reasoning models.
Additionally, Red Hat OpenShift is now available on the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, offering flexibility and security for business-critical AI deployments.
Dell has also launched new Managed Services for the AI Factory. These services cover the entire NVIDIA AI stack, including 24/7 monitoring, updates, and proactive support.
Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO, said the goal is to make AI more accessible. 'With the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, enterprises can manage the entire AI lifecycle at any scale,' he stated.
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, added, 'AI factories are the infrastructure of modern industry. With Dell Technologies, we're offering the broadest line of Blackwell AI systems for use in the cloud, enterprise, and edge.'
