Twenty+ Dell AI Factory advancements include new automated solutions and infrastructure to accelerate your enterprise AI journey.
By   |  

tl;dr: At SC25, Dell is expanding the Dell AI Factory with more than 20 advancements that make AI simpler to deploy and faster to scale. New automated solutions, high density servers, accelerated storage, open networking, services and more help you move from pilot to production with greater control, lower risk and better ROI.

A new era of high-performance computing and enterprise AI is here, and Dell Technologies is driving progress with faster, more agile and scalable AI solutions for organizations seeking a trusted AI partner.  This week, at SC25 in St. Louis, we’re showcasing how Dell further enables your success in AI—from traditional to agentic—with advancements that empower you to accelerate your ideas into innovation.

We’re introducing powerful new additions to the Dell AI Factory, our approach to help accelerate AI innovation in organizations of all sizes. With more than 20 updates across the industry’s broadest end-to-end AI portfolio,1 these advancements simplify and automate your AI journey, boost performance while removing bottlenecks, and deliver greater control with integrated, resilient on-premises infrastructure to help you reach outcomes faster.

Turning AI challenges into opportunities

Many organizations face hurdles on the path to successful AI deployments. Common challenges include gaining control over essential data and assembling complex ecosystems of hardware and software. Our Dell Technologies 2025 IT Strategy Pulse survey of global IT and business decision makers also shows that skills, cost and ROI remain top barriers for AI implementations.

This is where Dell brings unmatched value. In our survey, 95% of leaders say working with a trusted technology partner reduces the risks of adopting new technologies, and 90% agree that bringing AI to their data, where they control it and ensure its secure access and timelines, creates more value.

The Dell AI Factory was built to address these needs head-on, providing an open ecosystem of infrastructure, software and services to help you harness the power of your data wherever it resides.

Dell AI Solutions streamline automation for faster AI results

To get AI workloads into production faster, the Dell Automation Platform, now expanded to the Dell AI Factory, will deliver smarter, more automated experiences by deploying validated, optimized AI solutions with a secure framework. New blueprints for Cohere and Tabnine enable organizations to adopt secure, customizable agentic workflows or enhance developer efficiency with AI-powered coding assistance, addressing real-world challenges head-on.

By automating the deployment of optimized platform configurations, the Dell Automation Platform helps organizations reduce complexity, improve scalability and adapt to changing business needs.

Driving the future of AI with NVIDIA

Our collaboration with NVIDIA continues to deepen with significant enhancements to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, designed to offer you greater simplicity, performance and flexibility with fully integrated and full-stack environments.

Key advancements include:

Advancing the world’s leading AI infrastructure portfolio

While Dell is already the world’s top-selling AI infrastructure provider,3 we’re expanding with additional innovations across compute, storage, networking and rack cooling.

Key advancements include:

  • Dell PowerEdge XE9785 (air‑cooled) and XE9785L (liquid‑cooled) servers are now available, powered by the latest AMD Instinct™ MI355X accelerators and AMD Pollara 400 AI NIC for breakthrough performance with AI training and inference.
  • We’re also introducing the Dell PowerEdge R770AP with Intel® Xeon® 6 P-core processors to handle demanding HPC and AI workloads.
  • New Dell PowerSwitch Z9964F‑ON and Z9964FL‑ON, supported by the latest Dell Enterprise SONiC release, deliver 102.4 Terabits per second of switching capacity to meet the needs of the most intensive AI fabrics.
  • Our industry-leading storage solutions continue to advance in support of AI workloads with the announcement of Dell PowerScale available as an independent software license on qualified hardware, parallel NFS support for Dell PowerScale, and AI‑optimized search capabilities in Dell ObjectScale with S3 Tables and S3 Vector.
  • The latest Dell SmartFabric Manager release now integrates with Dell AI Factory, streamlining AI infrastructure deployment with automated blueprints for faster setups and minimal manual effort. This release adds automated Dell PowerScale storage deployment and rack-scale integration with Dell OpenManage Enterprise, delivering end-to-end fabric visibility and faster troubleshooting across GPU-accelerated infrastructure through a single view.

Expanding Dell Professional Services for AI

To bridge the AI execution gap, we’re introducing turnkey interactive AI use case pilots—a low-cost, de-risked path to validate outcomes ahead of scaled investments.  Led by Dell Services experts, pilots run on Dell infrastructure in a managed environment with real-world customer data and evaluated against defined success metrics.

Pilots are available for any use case, including, for example, an advanced research assistant, powered by the NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit. A representative subset of tens of thousands of enterprise data sources that is ingested, combined with multi-step reasoning, delivers synthesized, accurate results in minutes. The pilot provides crucial insights and hits the primary KPI of reducing research time, proving solution feasibility and value creation and providing a seamless transition to scale.

Let’s unlock what’s next, together

These Dell AI Factory advancements help you move from challenges to outcomes faster by managing complexity and cost with a single, strategic partner—Dell Technologies. We’re delivering the tools to build a secure, efficient and scalable AI foundation that drives real business value. Together, we can empower you to achieve meaningful results and stay ahead of what’s next.
