What is AI in the context of Dell solutions?
At Dell, AI solutions are the practical application of advanced technologies like generative AI and agentic AI to safely transform your data into measurable outcomes. We deliver the foundation of high-performance infrastructure, a verified partner ecosystem, expert AI services, and client devices to accelerate time to turn AI potential into real-world progress.
How do I choose the right Dell hardware for my AI needs?
Choosing the right Dell hardware for your AI initiatives starts with aligning your technology strategy to your specific goals. The ideal configuration depends on your priority AI use cases, data readiness, and level of preparedness on a scale from experimentation to full-scale production. Key factors include the type of model (training or inferencing) and deployment location, whether on-premises, at the edge, or in a multicloud environment. For AI training, PowerEdge servers handle intensive demands for large models. For data storage, PowerScale delivers high-throughput storage. For AI development and data science, Dell Deskside Agentic AI, Dell Precision workstations, or Dell AI PCs provide the performance needed for local model development and complex data analysis. For AI inferencing, deploy workloads on PowerEdge servers in the data center to specialized edge devices and AI PCs. Dell AI Factory can help build the infrastructure for your needs.
What tools does Dell offer to help size AI infrastructure?
Dell provides a comprehensive set of reference architectures, validated designs, sizing guides, expert-led workshops, and strategy sessions. Consult with Dell AI Services to define your desired outcomes, prioritize use cases, and size infrastructure for your specific workload requirements. This approach evaluates model complexity, data availability, GPU needs, storage performance, and deployment location. To work with an AI expert in a half-day AI Accelerator Workshop, contact Sales.
What components make up Dell AI infrastructure?
Dell AI Factory integrates infrastructure, partner ecosystems, and expert services into a single solution. The core components include a full range of PowerEdge servers equipped with the latest AI accelerators from NVIDIA and AMD; high-performance scalable storage; low-latency networking fabrics; and a portfolio of AI PCs and workstations.
What is the business value of an AI PC refresh?
Refreshing to Dell AI PCs provides return on investment by enhancing workforce capabilities and optimizing fleet operations. For individual users, built-in neural processing units (NPUs) run local copilots, intelligent automation, and on-device content creation, lowering data latency and time-to-task. At the fleet level, organizations realize total cost of ownership benefits through improved battery efficiency, automated security, and proactive diagnostics that reduce help desk tickets. Running AI models locally for tasks like inferencing and analytics directly lowers cloud hosting costs while maintaining data privacy. For developing agentic AI workloads locally, Dell Deskside Agentic AI solutions offer capability and cost advantages over developing in the cloud.
