Delivering AI Innovation for the Next Wave of Business Transformation

In today's business landscape, the key to deploying and using AI effectively is understanding the use cases in the organization and identifying the best, and often fastest AI-ready approaches that deliver results quickly. High quality data and efficient retrieval approaches like RAG (retrieval augmented generation) are also in high demand. At SC24, new innovation in the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA further accelerates the value of AI for businesses while preparing them for the future.

AI Applications Place New Demands

As organizations are feeling more confident of AI results applied to their departmental use cases, genAI applications are rapidly increasing and scaling across the organization. Usage of larger size, foundational LLMs grows as well as choice to address different use cases with multi-modal outcomes, placing more demand on the AI infrastructure.

Interest in RAG has also grown significantly, due to its ability to enable richer decision-making informed by a company's own data, while reducing hallucinations. RAG can readily be scaled across the organization to knowledge workers and is especially useful for digital assistant and chatbots with contextual data. However, incomplete data, lack of multiple sourcing and complex prompts can still limit RAG's potential, especially for large data-driven organizations.

Enabling IT administrators with a plan for growth and support for emerging workloads at scale with a consistent AI infrastructure approach will be critical, as well as new approaches to convert large data sets into value.

Raising the AI Performance bar

The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA delivers the performance for AI applications, enabling customers with a streamlined approach to simplify AI deployment with a consistent, scalable outcome-focused approach. Today, Dell is announcing new NVIDIA accelerated compute platforms added to Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA that deliver performance for emerging AI applications, added efficiencies for inferencing and acceleration across a broad range of enterprise applications.

Supercharging data centers, the NVIDIA HGX H200 and NVIDIA H100 NVL platforms, bring cutting-edge technology with immense processing power and improved energy efficiency for genAI and HPC applications, With these additions available for PowerEdge XE9680 and rack servers, customers who have already deployed the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA can rapidly expand their footprint with the same high-quality foundations, guidance and support to accelerate their AI projects. Availability of these configurations with NVIDIA HGX H200 and H100 NVL is scheduled for the end of year.

Deliver Informed Decisions, Faster

RAG already boosts productivity and delivers real intelligence and for organizations. However, enabling wider access to RAG across the organization can present deployment challenges and impact prompt responsiveness. Large-scale and data driven organizations, including healthcare and financial institutions also need access to different data types to deliver different outputs, or multi-modal outcomes.

Agentic RAG offers cutting-edge solutions to handle these massive data sets. By utilizing AI agents, it automates analysis, processing, and reasoning within the RAG framework. This approach allows users to seamlessly integrate both structured and unstructured data, delivering real-time insights with reliable, contextually relevant information.

Agentic RAG on the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA enables organizations across multiple industries to benefit with a significant leap forward in AI-driven information retrieval and processing. The agentic RAG design shows how organizations, with healthcare as an example, can overcome the challenges of fragmented data (access structured data, such as patient schedules and profiles, alongside unstructured data, such as medical notes and imaging files) while maintaining compliance to HIPAA and other requirements. The end-to-end solution built on the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA platforms features:

• Dell PowerEdge servers with NVIDIA L40S GPUs
• Dell PowerScale storage
• NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking
• NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform
• NVIDIA NeMo embedding and reranking NVIDIA NIM microservices, alongside the NVIDIA Llama-3.1-8b-instruct LLM NIM microservice

The solution is based on the recently announced NVIDIA Enterprise Reference Architecture for NVIDIA L40S GPUs, which helps reduce time, cost, and complexity for enterprises building AI factories to power the next wave of generative AI solutions.

The complete integration of these elements delivers a comprehensive starting approach for organizations to adapt and deploy their own agentic RAG and elevate the bar of delivering value. Learn more about Agentic RAG here.
