Dell and Nvidia aim to reshape enterprise AI amid industry transition
AI is driving a seismic shift in enterprise infrastructure, with companies racing to integrate cutting-edge technologies into their operations. Things are moving quickly, and Dell Technologies Inc. and Nvidia Corp. are aiming to change the game on the data center with Dell AI Factory solutions.
The goal of Dell AI Factory is to get something that is massively scalable. From there, people can start out with whatever their early workloads are, according to Adam Glick (pictured, right), senior director of AI portfolio marketing at Dell.
“They can start small and literally just stack that up, not only just within a rack, but create rack scale deployments,” Glick said of Dell AI Factory solutions. “We make it super simple to be able to take the hardware. We’ve worked a lot with our friends at Nvidia. There’s a lot of work that’s gone together to integrate these two pieces.”
Glick and Jason Schroedl (left), director of product marketing for enterprise platforms at Nvidia, spoke with theCUBE Research’s John Furrier and Dave Vellante at SC24, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed the transformative impact of AI infrastructure on enterprise productivity and what’s available through Dell AI Factory solutions. (* Disclosure below.)

It’s not just the hardware pieces and machines that go together. It’s also the networking and the software stack, according to Glick.
“Tested, integrated, optimized to be able to deploy that and deploy it fast and at scale, to deliver solutions that our customers are looking for,” Glick said.
For Nvidia, there’s a completely new paradigm at play. Companies are reinventing their AI infrastructure with concepts like the AI Factory, according to Schroedl.
“We packaged this up in a simplified solution that can help companies get up and running very quickly, leveraging all the best practice and learnings that we’ve done at large scale, bringing that to the enterprise, helping them wherever they are on their journey, whether they’re just getting started with generative AI or whether they’re looking to go from proof of concept to proof of value,” he said.
Meanwhile, the democratization of AI is empowering companies and individuals to innovate at unprecedented scales. Today, companies that are investing in generative AI are beginning to see tremendous advantages, according to Schroedl.
“I think the difference that you’ll see is the existing companies that are leveraging generative AI, deploying those use cases, are going to be the ones that win in their industry,” he said. “There will be new entrants that’ll also disrupt those industries. They may take share, but the companies that don’t get started today with generative AI, they’re going to be left behind.”
The AI transformation taking place is really a Cambrian explosion, according to Glick. There’s likely to be greater and greater adoption in the months and years ahead.
“The organizations that get in sooner, they’re going to get the greatest advantage out of that, because everything has a learning curve,” Glick said. “As much as we try and integrate it, make it fast for people, everyone goes through that curve. We try and flatten that curve for folks, but ultimately you’ve got to get on the curve in order to start to get that benefit.”
