Dell and NVIDIA launch “AI Factory” to boost AI adoption by companies

O NVIDIA GTC 2024 takes place between March 18th and 21st, 2024, in the city of Houston, Texas, USA. The event is focused on launching new features for companies to work better with the support of artificial intelligence. The biggest novelty is called AI Factory and is enough to help several companies have a more productive day-to-day life. See the main announcements now.

Dell AI Factory

Considered the biggest advertisement in Dell during his passage through NVIDIA GTC 2024, the two companies came together to integrate solutions into a single package. According to Dell, an integration of services, software, client device, storage and compute with NVIDIA AI services was made. It is a simple way for companies from different markets to have access to cloud services through a high-speed network.

Our enterprise customers are looking for an easy way to address their complex AI needs and quickly implement solutions, which is exactly what Dell Technologies and NVIDIA are delivering. Our joint effort provides the end-to-end technology companies need to seamlessly integrate data with their own use cases and streamline the development of custom GenAI models.

The servers will be installed locally and can be allocated in a rack design (one on top of the other) so that there are zero problems. Additionally, there is a feature installed within this solution that allows data to be simplified for reading and decision making.

Security solutions from Dell They were also implemented so that information about the company, customers and others involved in the entire process is not accessed by strangers. A Dell AI Factory is now available to all companies that are interested, but it is necessary to contact a local salesperson to receive a personalized proposal.

We've been navigating the technology landscape with Dell for years, but our
Efforts to accelerate GenAI initiatives have never been more focused. We are committed to providing companies with personalized AI applications that drive strategic, high-value results.

Companies also highlight that it will be possible to use generative AI solutions in various processes. In a simplified way: services already known by companies were all unified and there is artificial intelligence to read, organize and also have access to data from an entire server.

Dell PowerEdge XE9680

Aimed at small offices that cannot or even do not want to invest in more expensive processors, servers PowerEdge will receive NVIDIA GPUs to deliver better graphics performance. The video cards chosen were: the HGX B200 Tensor Core and HGX B100.

The processor NVIDIA HGX H200 Tensor Core was chosen to give performance power to the next servers that hit the market “by the end of the year”, without a specific date mentioned until the closing of this article.

AI inference gains can reach up to 25% and both companies expect the cost of ownership to be lower, which should generate a lower purchase value when opting for these servers. More details should be revealed over the next few months.

Dell Generative AI Solutions

Two new features were announced in relation to generative AIs. The first of these is the implementation of RAG, acronym for Retrieval-Augmented Generation or Increased recovery generation.

In practice, you will optimize the output of a large language model so that it references a trusted knowledge base outside of your training data sources before generating a response. A Dell promises that generative AI solutions will be more optimized and provide faster results across a variety of factors.

The second novelty is the greater adoption of business AIs that can be trained according to a company's needs. Called Project Helix, we first heard about it in May last year, also between Dell and NVIDIA. From March 29th this will also be available on Dell Apex, with prices to be confirmed by resellers.

Organizations are in a race to test AI, but there are many challenges
to achieve ROI. Issues with data sovereignty, legal and compliance concerns, and data quality top the list. New offerings, such as Dell Generative AI Solutions with NVIDIA – RAG, provide companies with a simpler path to GenAI, helping them increase confidence and develop their own reliable GenAI capabilities that can deliver significant business impact. Our research shows that companies are looking to industry leaders like Dell and NVIDIA to provide AI services and expertise to reduce risk and achieve faster ROI.

Dell Data Lakehouse

Finishing the ads Dell, the solution of Date Lakehouse, which allows data from a server to be accessed whether in the cloud, locally or at the edge, will be available globally from March 18, 2024. The five key points of the solution are:

A Dell expects this release to help organizations discover, process, and analyze data in one location across multiple multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. Values ​​and availability for Latin America have not yet been defined, but this will be announced in the coming months.
