At Dell Technologies World today, we announced that we are extending our collaboration of over 25 years with Red Hat to integrate Red Hat OpenShift with Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. The resulting solution will also support Red Hat OpenShift AI. This collaboration enables organizations to streamline and simplify their AI initiatives while delivering flexibility, enhancing interoperability and ensuring enterprise reliability for these business-critical workloads.
This announcement comes at an exciting time in the evolution of AI. Enterprises across industries are no longer experimenting with AI, but actively operationalizing it across their businesses. While breakthroughs like Large Language Models (LLMs) have captured attention, we’re seeing a shift in focus—from innovation in research to adoption in enterprise-scale applications and workflows with agentic AI. Organizations are using AI to solve complex challenges, unlock new efficiencies and drive meaningful outcomes in areas like healthcare, retail, manufacturing and beyond.
Yet, the path to turning AI into tangible results isn’t straightforward. Many enterprises face barriers like complex infrastructure, siloed data and the challenge of integrating AI into existing IT systems. There’s also the ongoing pressure of ensuring security and governance as these workloads become increasingly business-critical. Together, Dell and Red Hat are addressing these challenges head-on by combining open-source technologies with trusted infrastructure to help your business operationalize AI at scale with more ease.
“We are pleased to extend our longstanding collaboration with Dell to bring the power of Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift AI to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. Together, we are making it easier for organizations to bring AI into production and scale across hybrid cloud environments to help address the business needs of today and the opportunities of tomorrow.”

Simplify AI Workflows
The complexity of AI deployments often poses hurdles for enterprises. To address that, the solution is designed to streamline your end-to-end AI workflows. By leveraging Red Hat’s open-source software stack and Dell’s infrastructure rooted in open standards, we’re minimizing the roadblocks that traditionally come with AI adoption.
A key component of this solution is Red Hat OpenShift. Red Hat OpenShift extends the familiar management tools your IT teams already rely on, bringing consistency between both traditional IT applications and modern AI deployments. This means you can manage and orchestrate AI workloads using the same frameworks and tools you trust, wherever they’re running. Further, the support for Red Hat OpenShift AI makes it easier for teams to experiment, serve models and deliver AI enabled applications with necessary flexibility and consistency.
With simplicity built into every layer of the solution, your teams can eliminate guesswork and focus on driving outcomes. By reducing complexity, we’re making AI adoption faster, easier and more accessible for enterprises of all sizes.
Transform Business Operations
This collaborative solution empowers you to operationalize AI across all aspects of your business. Whether your goal is to optimize supply chains, personalize customer experiences, speed product development, or improve predictive maintenance, this platform offers the flexibility to handle a wide range of use cases.
The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA infrastructure, combined with Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift AI, supports organizations as they move from proof-of-concept stages to production deployments. Instead of struggling with infrastructure hurdles or inconsistent results, the platform enables you to more easily scale your AI initiatives as your needs evolve. This results in faster innovation, greater efficiency and deeper impact across your business operations.
