There are an astounding number of use cases for artificial intelligence (AI), across nearly every industry and spanning outcomes that range from productivity to security to user experience and more. Many of these use cases are discussed in a Dell white paper on Generative AI in the Enterprise, a collaboration with NVIDIA that enables high performance, scalable, and modular architectures for generative AI solutions.
Some of the most impactful use cases to date are in the field of software development. Here, AI can be used for tasks such as automating code development, detecting issues, correcting erroneous code, and assisting coders. AI can provide suggestions and automated code completion.
One remarkable solution at the forefront of this AI-driven transformation is Codeium Enterprise, a high-quality, enterprise-grade, and exceptionally performant AI-powered code acceleration toolkit. A unique aspect of Codeium Enterprise is that it can be deployed entirely on-premises using Dell hardware. This solution offers enterprises a competitive advantage through faster development in their software teams, with minimal setup and maintenance requirements.
Codeium Enterprise Essentials
Codeium Enterprise is designed to address the key challenges faced by businesses aiming to enhance worker productivity in software development. It leverages industry-leading generative AI capabilities but is accessible to developers without requiring pre-existing AI expertise.
Codeium can be used with existing codebases or for generating new code and offers several essential capabilities including:
- Personalized Coding Assistance: Codeium Enterprise is a personalized AI-powered assistant tailored to enterprise software development teams.
- Industry-Leading Generative AI: It leverages industry-leading generative AI capabilities to enhance developer productivity across the entire software development life cycle.
- Ease of Use: Codeium Enterprise is accessible to developers without requiring pre-existing AI expertise. It can be used with existing codebases or for generating new code.
Codeium Enterprise builds upon the base Codeium Individual product, used by hundreds of thousands of developers. Codeium Individual provides features like autocomplete, chat, and search to assist developers throughout the software development process. The toolkit seamlessly integrates into more than 40 Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for over 70 programming languages.
Codeium Enterprise on Dell Infrastructure
Collaborating with Dell Technologies, Codeium offers powerful yet affordable hardware configurations that are satisfactory for running Codeium Enterprise on-premises. This approach ensures that both intellectual property and data remain secure within the enterprise's environment.
Dell Technologies can power Codeium Enterprise with PowerEdge servers of various GPU configurations, depending on your development teams’ sizes. Larger development teams can use multiple servers since Codeium is a horizontally scalable system and supports multinode deployments.
Dell Experience
During the initial deployment to software developers within Dell, the results were overwhelmingly positive. After two brief weeks of use following the initial rollout, developers were polled and reported the following feedback:
- 78% of developers reported creating the first revision of code more quickly.
- 89% reported decreased context switching and improved flow state (“being in the zone”).
- 92% reported improved productivity overall.
- 100% wanted to continue using the toolset.
Did we say that the results were overwhelmingly positive?
Conclusion
In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, generative AI holds the potential to revolutionize software development. Codeium Enterprise, running on Dell infrastructure, provides a comprehensive solution designed to meet the requirements of enterprises. It can enhance developer productivity, ensure data and IP security, adhere to licensing compliance, offers transparency through analytics, and minimizes costs. Codeium Enterprise is a great choice for enterprises seeking to leverage generative AI for productivity while maintaining control and security in their software development.
Incorporating Codeium Enterprise into your software development processes is not just a competitive advantage; it is a strategic move towards staying at the forefront of innovation in the software industry.
