Dell Launches Generative AI Solutions: Software, Hardware and More

Developed with NVIDIA, new offerings aim to simplify adoption and scaling of secure generative AI.

Today Dell announced a suite of new products and services to quickly and securely build on-premises generative AI tools. The Dell Generative AI Solutions encompass hardware, software and full-stack implementation.

Though engineers are finding real value in generative AI, there are many questions about how to harness it properly. Where and how should it be used? How can be bias be limited? How can security be maintained? Dell aims to answer at least some of these questions with its new offerings.

A suite of tools for generative AI

One of the new products on offer is Dell Validated Design for Generative AI, an inferencing blueprint developed in collaboration with NVIDIA. The goal is to assist companies with deployment of secure and scalable generative AI solutions, whether that’s starting completely from scratch or modifying existing tools in development. For example, a company could use this blueprint to help bring a generative AI-powered virtual assistant to scale to provide customer service on an e-commerce website.

Dell Professional Services for Generative AI is a new service that aims to help companies accelerate their adoption of the new technology. The service begins with creating a strategy for generative AI integration and identifying areas that could be accelerated by generative AI tools. As part of this solution and the Validated Design tool, Dell offers a full-stack implementation service to assist with adoption of generative AI for specific use cases like content creation.

Finally, Dell highlighted the role of its Precision workstations for generative AI. With Dell Precision workstations, data scientists and AI software developers can create and optimize generative AI models locally before they are deployed at scale.

“Generative AI represents an inflection point that is driving fundamental change in the pace of innovation while improving the customer experience and enabling new ways to work,” said Jeff Clarke, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer at Dell, in a company press release. “Customers, big and small, are using their own data and business context to train, fine-tune and inference on Dell infrastructure solutions to incorporate advanced AI into their core business processes effectively and efficiently.”

Overall, these announcements represent a sweeping investment from Dell in generative AI tools, and they now offer a suite of resources to help companies take advantage of the next step in advanced AI.
