Dell NativeEdge offers a cutting-edge software platform that enables customers to remotely, securely and centrally deploy, manage and secure their distributed edge hardware and software applications at scale. This keeps you ahead in the digital race.
Dell NativeEdge is built up from scratch to be the only full-stack solution in the industry that can deploy and manage both hardware and software, wherever needed, from a single screen. It stands out as the sole solution on the market that enables remote management of both infrastructure and applications from a single, intuitive interface with just a few clicks.
Let’s explore the newest features and integrations that make Dell NativeEdge the best way to unlock innovation in your business.
Product Innovation Momentum
The latest release of Dell NativeEdge bridges gaps in edge infrastructure and further improves operational efficiencies.
One of the standout innovations is the software’s new feature which enables high-availability clustering capability for NativeEdge Endpoints. This feature, traditionally found only in data centers, is now extended to Dell’s diverse range of edge endpoints. Whether you’re using Dell servers, Dell Gateways or OptiPlex industrial PCs at the edge, you can expect enhanced reliability and continuous operation of demanding AI workloads.
Now, you can have peace of mind from automatic application failover and live VM migration. This ensures seamless compute and storage operations even amidst disruptions—perfect for those seeking alternatives to making costly enterprise-class infrastructure investments.
To make deployment even more intuitive, NativeEdge also introduces a new blueprint execution graph. This feature visually represents the deployment process and flags any errors, so you can immediately spot, troubleshoot and remedy the problem without ever having to search through or read a detailed log or manually search for errors again.
Additionally, new 4G and 5G connectivity options for Dell Gateways mean enhanced mobility and flexibility, allowing seamless communication across diverse environments. This is especially beneficial for industries where remote access is paramount – like transportation and logistics.
For added simplicity, Dell now hosts its growing, global list of NativeEdge Blueprints in the Dell Catalog, so you can centrally view, download and customize Blueprints, and tailor deployment strategies to your unique needs. With access to cutting edge tools and solutions to support deployment and lifecycle management, you can build, operate and grow your edge in a more streamlined manner.
Advances in Edge AI
Dell NativeEdge is delivering new AI software integrations to improve the process of standing up AI at the edge. The platform now automates deployment of open-source tools like Apache Spark and MLflow, which can enhance MLOps workflows for edge use cases for quick and efficient AI-enhanced solutions. This suite of tools can be deployed across multiple devices with a single command, marking a significant leap in operational efficiency.
Adding to the toolkit is the new Dell Data Collector software, which facilitates seamless data mobility. This software integrates directly into NativeEdge environments, so data gathered at the edge can be instantly moved to where it holds the most value. Whether it’s for analytics or model development, data is accessible in near real-time across edge locations, core data centers and the public cloud.
Expanding our collaborative ecosystem, we are engaging with a diverse set of partners to advance AI innovations. We continue to collaborate with NVIDIA to offer enhanced AI solutions and build sophisticated AI capabilities with ease. NativeEdge integrates with NVIDIA Inferencing Microservices (NIM), and customers can purchase preferentially priced NVIDIA AI Enterprise licenses directly from Dell to simplify their purchase experience. The integration of Intel Geti for computer vision models also offers significant benefits by streamlining AI model training and deployment processes.
Finally, new NativeEdge Blueprints automate deployment for industry-specific applications for manufacturing, retail and energy sectors to ensure rapid deployment and integration of AI components across diverse environments. By reducing complexity and deployment time, these Blueprints enable organizations to focus more of their time on innovation and less on infrastructure management and security.
Dell NativeEdge continues to empower organizations at the edge, so you can harness the full potential of AI. With these advancements, Dell continues its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that simplify operations, enhance scalability and automate deployments so you can bring AI to the edge, faster and simpler.
