The Dell Validated Design for Computer Vision is a multipurpose platform focused on the display and analysis of CCTV video. The architecture uses platform components from Dell Technologies, VMware, and NVIDIA that are widely used by IT organizations around the world. This solution adds additional value to organizations that want to host a curated and validated set of video management processing and GPU accelerated analytics engines on a common platform.
This design guide covers a selected set of important computer vision workloads that are essential and broadly applicable to many industries. This release is intended to demonstrate the feasibility and value of using a common platform for all computer vision workloads that both serves the needs of operational IT and is also well known to organizational IT decision-makers.
This Dell Validated Design is based on a Dell APEX Private Cloud GPU optimized HCI platform leveraging virtually provisioned GPU computer resources that are used for video inferencing and visualization. Our purpose in offering this solution is to help organizations shift from an appliance-per-application-based approach to a common virtualized approach with the simplicity of a single hyperconverged compute and storage management for many applications.
