AI Infrastructure Innovations

The foundation of the Dell AI Factory is our infrastructure, built to handle the demands of AI workloads. We're adding two new Dell PowerEdge servers to theDell Integrated Rack Scalable Systems (IRSS) program. These servers offer multiple energy-efficient options with advanced thermal management, available in both air and liquid cooling, while delivering the highest GPU density available in standard racks. IRSS now offers various processor options and turnkey services to reduce the cost of deployment and enable scalability.

The PowerEdge XE7740 is equipped with dual 6th Gen Intel Xeon CPUs and offers flexibility with up to 8 double-wide or 16 single-wide PCIe accelerators, perfect for AI model inferencing and fine-tuning. Our new PowerEdge XE9685L features dual AMD EPYC CPUs and up to 96 NVIDIA GPUs per rack, setting a new benchmark in GPU density and performance for AI and HPC workloads.

We're also enhancing the Dell Data Lakehouse by fully embedding Apache Spark, allowing for seamless processing of diverse data types (structured, semi-structured and unstructured) in a single, unified environment. We're able to help you simplify management, processing and analysis-all within the Dell Data Lakehouse.

We're also announcing the Dell-managed Dell APEX File Storage for Microsoft Azure, which combines Dell PowerScale scale-out file storage with native Microsoft AI services in Azure. This offer expands file capacity and delivers a seamless integration with Azure and on-premises environments.
