Dell Technologies Introduces New Generative AI Solutions
Dell Technologies has announced new offerings aimed at helping customers build generative AI (GenAI) models on-premises. These solutions are designed to accelerate improved outcomes and drive new levels of intelligence. The Dell Generative AI Solutions expand upon the Project Helix announcement made in May and include IT infrastructure, PCs, and professional services. The goal is to simplify the adoption of full-stack GenAI with large language models (LLM) and meet organizations wherever they are in their GenAI journey. These solutions are intended to help organizations of all sizes and across industries securely transform and deliver better outcomes.
"Generative AI represents an inflection point that is driving fundamental change in the pace of innovation while improving the customer experience and enabling new ways to work," said Jeff Clarke, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, Dell Technologies. "Customers, big and small, are using their own data and business context to train, fine-tune, and inference on Dell infrastructure solutions to incorporate advanced AI into their core business processes effectively and efficiently."
The Dell Generative AI Solutions encompass a wide range of products and services, including Dell Precision workstations, Dell PowerEdge servers, Dell PowerScale scale-out storage, Dell ECS enterprise object storage, and various professional services. These offerings provide the necessary tools to deliver GenAI solutions across different environments, from desktops to core data centers, edge locations, and public clouds.
One example of a company utilizing Dell servers for generative AI development is CyberAgent, a major Japanese digital advertising company. They selected Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers equipped with NVIDIA H100 GPUs for their generative AI applications. They also highlighted the ease of use of the Dell iDRAC management tool for secure local and remote server management.
The Dell Validated Design for Generative AI with NVIDIA is an inferencing blueprint jointly engineered with NVIDIA. It is optimized to speed up the deployment of a modular, secure, and scalable platform for GenAI in the enterprise. This design addresses the challenges faced by traditional inferencing approaches in scaling and supporting LLMs for real-time results. It enables customers to generate higher quality predictions and decisions with their own data.
Dell Professional Services offer a range of capabilities to help customers accelerate GenAI adoption and improve operational efficiency. These services include creating a GenAI strategy, implementing the Dell Validated Design for GenAI with NVIDIA, applying the platform to specific use cases, and providing scaling services to improve operations through managed services, training, or resident experts.
Dell Precision workstations are also highlighted as a secure option for GenAI development. These workstations allow AI developers and data scientists to develop and fine-tune GenAI models locally before deploying them at scale. They offer high performance and reliability, with the ability to run AI software frameworks 80% faster than the previous generation. The workstations also feature Dell Optimizer, which learns and responds to the way people work, improving performance across applications, network connectivity, and audio.
The Dell Validated Design for Generative AI with NVIDIA is available globally through traditional channels and Dell APEX. Dell Professional Services for Generative AI are available in select countries. Dell Precision workstations with NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPUs will be available globally in early August. Dell Optimizer adaptive workload will be available globally on select Precision mobile workstations on August 30.
