A new report from McKinsey reveals the staggering potential of generative AI, estimating its annual impact to be between $2.6 trillion and $4.4 trillion across 63 analyzed use cases. This impact not only underscores the immense economic significance of generative AI but also heralds a new era of possibility and prosperity for businesses and societies worldwide.
In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), discussions often center on advanced hardware and software capabilities. However, the true journey towards AI adoption in enterprises and telecom companies begins with a strategic shift towards thinking about business transformation and gaining a profound understanding of the intrinsic value residing in their data assets. This focus helps enterprises move towards extracting maximum value from existing data repositories and platforms.
A winning strategy based on collaboration
Dell Technologies has collaborated with NVIDIA to pair NVIDIA’s expertise with full-stack accelerated computing for generative AI with Dell infrastructure and services, specifically for AI adoption in enterprises and telecom companies. The combined technologies provide “a one-stop shop” for organizations looking to harness the power of generative AI by providing the tools, expertise, services, and industry-specific solutions to empower businesses on their generative AI journeys.
Dell Technologies is also working with NVIDIA to develop targeted solutions for specific enterprise verticals, including healthcare, manufacturing, and telecommunications to maximize the impact of generative AI in these areas.
The comprehensive AI-validated solutions encompass not only the essential hardware and software required for AI implementation but also a wide array of professional services. These services range from advisory AI and consulting to implementation services and managed services for generative AI. We accompany our customers along their transformation journeys, ensuring end-to-end support – from strategy formulation to deployment and scaling.
A joint initiative between Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, Project Helix offers industry-leading, best-in-class solutions for various generative AI use cases, helping accelerate adoption across industries. The comprehensive, AI-validated solution is based on AI-optimized Dell PowerEdge servers with the latest NVIDIA GPUs to support all phases of generative AI, from training to fine-tuning to inferencing. Scalable Dell Unstructured Data Solutions (UDS) storage like PowerScale and ECS enables rapid data storage for numerous object types and prepares the data for AI model processing. High-performance networking enables low-latency data gravity operations across the organization.
Using Dell’s proven ProConsult Advisory methodology, we facilitate structured interviews and workshops to assist customers in aligning on their generative AI strategic vision, establishing guiding principles, assessing their current (AS-IS) state, and developing future (TO-BE) road maps for achieving wanted outcomes.
Dell and NVIDIA end-to-end validated stack for AI
On top of this accelerated computing platform, NVIDIA offers NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. This end-to-end, cloud-native software platform delivers production-grade AI, which includes the NVIDIA NeMo framework and models for large language model development and deployment.
This solution empowers a wide range of multivendor use cases, including, but not limited to, natural language generation, chatbots, and digital assistants. The use case list for generative AI applications extends to personalized marketing, improved network management, predictive maintenance, enhanced security, resource optimization, new service development, and more.
AI─a paradigm shift for business excellence
Demystifying AI adoption involves moving the narrative away from hardware-centric paradigms towards a holistic focus on business transformation and data value. By recognizing the centrality of data and embracing a strategic approach to AI adoption, enterprises and telecom companies can unlock new avenues of growth and competitiveness. Dell’s collaboration with NVIDIA delivers a unique package of AI solutions to help customers move from the strategy phase to implementing and scaling their AI operations, accelerating the time to innovation.
It is not merely about embracing AI; it is about embracing a mindset of continuous evolution and innovation in the pursuit of organizational excellence.
