Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) announces updates to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, adding Dell PowerEdge servers built with NVIDIA Vera CPUs to the industry’s broadest AI infrastructure portfolio.¹

Why It Matters

AI has evolved from generating content to performing work. As organizations deploy AI agents that reason, plan, use tools and execute complex workflows, infrastructure requirements are growing. These server platforms give enterprises a single, validated path to building and operating agentic AI at scale.

Bringing NVIDIA Vera CPUs to Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA

The Dell PowerEdge R9822 and M9822 servers bring NVIDIA Vera CPUs to a broad range of deployments. The air-cooled, expandable 3U PowerEdge R9822 addresses use cases ranging from agentic sandboxes and analytics to general-purpose CPU infrastructure in any standard data center environment. The 100% direct liquid-cooled PowerEdge M9822 also uses the Vera CPU, enabling dense compute for agentic AI and HPC workloads that demand maximum performance and efficiency at scale.

Together, Dell and NVIDIA Power AI 

NVIDIA Vera CPUs join Dell’s lineup of NVIDIA technologies that are already working to serve enterprises, including:

• AI Racks and Servers: Delivers a broad portfolio of products including Dell PowerRack and Dell PowerEdge servers built with NVIDIA accelerated computing platforms including Vera CPUs, Vera Rubin platform, HGX Rubin NVL8 and RTX PRO Servers for building and running AI agents. 
• Deskside: Dell Deskside Agentic AI powered by Dell’s high-performance workstations and NVIDIA NemoClaw, allows enterprises to more securely build and run autonomous agents locally with data that never leaves the device. 
• Networking: Supports NVIDIA networking technologies, including Spectrum-X Ethernet and Quantum-X800 InfiniBand, that help customers accelerate AI factory deployments and scale high-performance AI and HPC environments. 
• Dell AI Data Platform: Delivers AI-native storage and data platforms, including NVIDIA STX, that help customers manage, prepare and activate enterprise data across AI factories, digital twins and accelerated computing environments. In addition, Dell is adding NVIDIA Vera CPU support to the Dell Data Analytics Engine powered by Starburst, delivering up to 3x² faster query throughput for the data processing workloads that power agentic AI, retrieval-augmented generation, real-time decisioning and modern analytics.
• Dell AI Ecosystem Program: Gives AI software providers a structured path to validate solutions on the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, turning fragmented innovation into proven, deployable outcomes. 
• AI Software: The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA runs NVIDIA AI software and agentic AI platforms including NVIDIA AI Enterprise, NVIDIA Nemotron models, NemoClaw blueprints and OpenShell runtime. 
• Physical AI: Extends AI beyond the data center with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Isaac technologies that help customers build digital twins, optimize operations and deploy intelligent autonomous systems. 

Perspectives

“As AI moves from experimentation to impact, every organization faces the same challenge. Move fast or fall behind,” said Michael Dell, chairman and chief executive officer, Dell Technologies. “Together with NVIDIA, we’re helping customers turn data into AI fuel and build infrastructure they control, with the security, governance and efficiency they need. The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA makes it easier to go from pilot to production.”

“Agentic AI is becoming the operating system of every enterprise,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “Vera is the CPU built for the age of agents. Together with the Dell AI Factory and Dell’s unmatched enterprise scale and global reach, we are bringing NVIDIA Vera Rubin—the next generation of AI infrastructure—to organizations everywhere.”

Availability

• Dell PowerEdge M9822 and R9822 will be globally available in September.
