Enterprises are looking to adopt AI to improve their business outcomes, requiring them to assess their data needs, optimize and automate AI workflows, and scale hardware and applications for the future.
The newest AI innovation to take the market by storm is agentic AI—an intelligent, adaptive capability designed to empower enterprises with autonomous decision-making and automated workflows. This innovation simplifies complexity and creates new paths for smarter, faster insights.
To enable enterprises with new AI capabilities including agentic AI, Dell and NVIDIA are making four key announcements for the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA,
- broadening high-performance compute platforms with the PowerEdge XE7740 and XE7745 servers, powered by the NVIDIA H200 NVL platform
- enabling infrastructure scale with design best practices informed by NVIDIA Enterprise Reference Architectures
- bringing new capabilities for automation with agentic AI enhancements and new reasoning models
- managing their accelerated computing infrastructure for optimal GPU utilization with NVIDIA Run:AI designs
Together, these innovations provide IT and developers with tools to solve today’s challenges while setting the foundation for superior AI outcomes.
Unlock High-Performance AI Workloads
Today’s modern AI workloads need computing power and scalable infrastructure to manage increasing number of AI workloads as departments ramp up their projects across the organization.
The Dell PowerEdge XE7740 and XE7745 servers, featuring the latest NVIDIA H200 NVL platform, bring a new level of performance and flexibility to enterprise environments deploying the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. These AI servers support demanding AI use cases with high-bandwidth processing and support for the latest NVIDIA GPU platform.
The new NVIDIA H200 NVL platform unleashes AI acceleration for mainstream enterprise servers with bigger, faster HBM3e memory and NVIDIA NVLink™ connectivity for up to four GPUs. The H200 NVL can fine-tune large language models (LLMs) within a few hours and deliver up to 1.7X faster LLM inference performance. It comes with a five-year subscription for NVIDIA AI Enterprise, a cloud-native software platform for the development and deployment of production-grade, end-to-end AI pipelines. NVIDIA AI Enterprise includes NVIDIA NIM microservices for the secure, reliable deployment of high-performance AI model inference.
With these servers and the H200NVL platform in the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, enterprises gain the ability to handle compute-intensive AI workloads, reducing bottlenecks and enable seamless scalability across use cases. PowerEdge servers with H200 NVL platform will be available in second half of 2025.
Streamline AI Scalability
Building and scaling AI solutions within diverse enterprise environments can be a tedious and expensive process. The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA helps customers scale with design best practices informed by NVIDIA Enterprise Reference Architectures (Enterprise RA). The Enterprise RA’s include deployment guides consisting of NVIDIA-Certified Systems, NVIDIA Spectrum-X networking, NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and NVIDIA-Certified storage solutions optimized to support multiple workloads, flexible cluster sizing, and expansion needs for scale.
Customers benefit from implementing a robust AI-ready infrastructure more reliably, by eliminating the guesswork in deploying AI frameworks and avoiding mismatched system configurations. With best practices for workload deployment, IT can be assured of building AI solutions with optimal performance. New Solutions from the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA will focus on enabling High Availability networking with the NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet platform, based on NVIDIA Enterprise RA recommended configurations and best practices.
Empower With Agentic AI
For many enterprises, adapting AI workflows to tailor solutions for specific business goals can be complex and time-intensive. With the rise of AI agents as new approaches to increase productivity, IT and developers are looking for ways to leverage agents and improve outcomes.
Following NVIDIA’s announcements at GTC, the era of agentic AI brings new capabilities for app developers, which include NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprints and the NVIDIA Agent-IQ Toolkit, integrated into NVIDIA’s advanced offerings, and empowering businesses to build robust AI agent platforms on the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA.
Dell introduced agentic RAG at SC24 and now Dell customers, enterprise developers and IT deploying the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA can benefit with the ability to build, deploy and manage a digital workforce comprised of AI Agents, with the enhanced capabilities available in NVIDIA’s AI Enterprise suite.
With the AI-Q NVIDIA Blueprint, developers can build, optimize, and accelerate teams of AI agents that reason, collaborate, and unlock knowledge, extending enterprises with a digital workforce.
The NVIDIA AgentIQ toolkit is an open-source library for efficiently connecting, profiling and optimizing teams of AI agents. With it, developers can easily accelerate and evaluate enterprise-ready agentic AI systems. Both of these innovative capabilities in NVIDIA AI Enterprise empower customers with access to an end-to-end software suite designed to build AI agents which simplify deployment and automate complex decisions for optimized AI performance across the Dell AI Factory.
Generative AI workflows with AI Agents and the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA will be able to process enterprise data more efficiently, delivering smarter and targeted outputs. Agentic AI enhancements will be available this quarter.
Optimize AI Workload Orchestration
The growing demand for accelerated computing and expanded AI deployment across organizations and sites makes workload management an increasingly complex task for IT. Without proper management and visibility, available GPU cycles could go unused and AI workloads could become inefficient.
NVIDIA Run:AI addresses this challenge with a powerful workload orchestration platform that simplifies AI operations. By distributing workloads efficiently and maximizing GPU utilization, this tool ensures smooth resource-sharing across edge, data center, and cloud environments. The NVIDIA Run:AI design best practices are now validated with the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, enabling organizations to ensure their GPU resources are being utilized to the fullest potential without sacrificing application performance. The NVIDIA Run:AI design guide is available now.
Future-Ready Organizations
Together, these four innovations redefine the enterprise AI landscape, equipping IT and application developers with the tools to simplify AI adoption, overcome complexity, and achieve accelerated outcomes. The continued innovation from Dell Technologies and NVIDIA ensures that organizations can rapidly scale and leverage the latest technology for deploying AI with the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA.
The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA is the industry’s first and only end-to-end enterprise AI solution¹, designed to speed AI adoption by delivering integrated Dell and NVIDIA capabilities to accelerate your AI-powered use cases, integrate your data and workflows, and enable you to design your own AI journey for successful, scalable outcomes.
