The AI Factory with NVIDIA is designed to scale with different configuration options. The AI Factory is built to create, process, and distribute advanced intelligence. AI factories process large amounts of data to produce intelligence which can then be used to run AI models, IT systems, and other assets. AI factories run a variety of workloads, including AI use cases of training and inferencing, high-performance computing, data analytics, and digital twins. AI factories offer high-performance, scalable end-to-end solutions (hardware and software), ancillary services, and time to market. Dell’s AI Factory with NVIDIA is designed to help organizations of all sizes accelerate AI innovation. The Dell AI Factory provides targeted and repeatable success for accelerating customer journeys.
The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA is the “How” for Dell's technical advantage to accelerate from ideas to innovation with AI. The top challenge for enterprise AI adoption is the lack of AI skills and talent. Customers are under immense pressure to accelerate AI initiatives. AI transformation is being adopted faster than new innovations in previous years. Organizations are at risk of getting it wrong, and it’s expensive. Mistakes can be costly. This paper intends to help adopters start with the platform they can use today and grow with them on their AI journey. We are making the AI factory simple, secure, and economical. Dell offers comprehensive AI services and validated, optimized solutions to help customers augment their skills gaps and address AI readiness. Dell is addressing the most valuable proposition by bringing AI to the customer. While this paper will not go into the performance metrics of Retrieval Augmented Generation, it will discuss the metrics of running inference models at scale. This will help customers right-size their AI investments and leverage on-premises implementations to lower TCO to be far more cost-effective than the public cloud. Dell delivers exceptional TCO, with inferencing on-premises with Dell Technologies being up to 75% more cost-effective than public cloud, according to April 2024 ESG research. We can help customers significantly reduce time to value with our extensive solutions portfolio, automation deployment capabilities, and consulting services.
So, how does a customer build their AI Factory? Dell offers options by solution, by product, and by consumption model. Dell has solutions for digital assistants, model training, model fine-tuning, inferencing, retrieval of augmented generation (RAG), and more. Servers, PC Workstations, storage, networking, and data protection can refine the product. The consumption model can be defined by purchase, subscription, and As-a-Service. Dell also offers professional AI strategy, data prep, implementation, model tuning, and operations services.
The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA encompasses the jointly engineered solution with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA to provide customers with end-to-end turnkey solutions, with data preparation, infrastructure, AI software, services, and use case development.
