AI with Your Data, Your Way

Dell and Cohere streamline enterprise AI model platform adoption for control and security.

Over the past year, I’ve had many conversations with customers across industries, and one message is clear: they want to use AI with their data while keeping full control. Whether it’s addressing privacy, enabling customization, or meeting regulations, control is their priority. This is where on-premises AI model platforms shine, offering enterprises powerful tools to harness AI without compromise.

That’s why I was excited to see the video John Roese made with Cohere co-founder Ivan Zhang on why our collaboration with Cohere matters more than ever. Together, we’re committed to helping businesses innovate, offering secured, on-premises AI solutions that meet your specific needs. It’s your data, handled your way.

The vision

We announced the Cohere collaboration at Dell Technologies World in May, and together, we’re empowering enterprises to unlock the future of AI without compromise.

Dell has long been a leader in providing scalable, secured infrastructure trusted by organizations worldwide. Cohere, with its expertise in agentic AI, brings advanced capabilities to help businesses supercharge their workflows. When combined, the two create a perfect synergy.

We’re solving some of the most pressing challenges businesses face today.

  • Data privacy? Check.
  • Fast AI adoption? Covered.
  • Scalability and performance? Absolutely.

Functional enterprise AI is not just about producing results; it’s about producing results that matter to your business.

Launch of Cohere’s North Platform

The key to turning vision into reality starts with innovation. That’s where Cohere North, a state-of-the-art agentic AI platform, comes into play. Launched recently, Cohere North gives enterprises the ability to deploy adaptable, powerful AI models and agentic workflows within their own infrastructure, ensuring their sensitive data remains secure and under their control. For sectors like finance, healthcare, and retail, where data compliance is non-negotiable, this level of security and privacy is a game-changer.

Beyond control, North provides scalability and flexibility. It’s built to adapt to the varied demands of organizations, whether it’s managing logistics more efficiently, gaining better insights into customer needs, or streamlining internal operations.

Right-sized Dell AI Factory

We believe Cohere’s North platform shines brightest when it’s integrated into a Dell AI Factory. We designed it to simplify AI adoption, offering tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of any business.

Every enterprise is different, and that’s why one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work. The Dell AI Factory’s scalable, customizable platforms make adopting AI straightforward. From small teams experimenting with their first models to major enterprises scaling complex systems, Dell AI Factory offers a frictionless path forward.

What does this mean for businesses? It means cost-efficient AI solutions that fit seamlessly into existing processes. It means faster time-to-value, a simpler implementation process, and results you can see from day one. Most importantly, it means giving you power over your data while driving innovation through AI.

AI models for fast adoption

Your data is your most valuable resource, and it deserves to be managed your way. AI model platforms are no longer just enablers, they’re the foundation of enterprise success. With Cohere’s North platform and a right-sized Dell AI Factory, you can innovate quickly, securely, and with full control.

At Dell Technologies, we believe technology should empower you, not dictate your terms. That’s why we’re focused on providing solutions that put you in the driver’s seat. With us, it’s not just about what AI can do, it’s about what AI can do for you, your way.
