Dell AI Factory with Nvidia includes PowerEdge servers featuring Nvidia Blackwell and Hopper GPUs.
Dell Technologies has filled out its enterprise AI infrastructure products with key upgrades to servers, storage, and software offerings.
First, announced at the Supercomputing 25 conference, the company introduced two new switches, the Dell PowerSwitch Z9964F-ON and Dell PowerSwitch Z9964FL-ON. The company says that these switches deliver 102.4 Tb/s of switching capacity, which means they can meet the needs of most AI fabrics, the company stated.
Next Dell rolled out the PowerEdge XE8712 server. Available in December, Dell claims that this server will offer the highest GPU density in the standard rack, with up to 144 Blackwell-based GPUs per rack. The rack comes packaged with Dell’s Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) monitoring software, OpenManage Enterprise (OME) and the Integrated Rack Controller (IRC) for advanced thermal controls.
With this system, everything becomes visible, manageable and secure through a single interface, said,” said Deania Davidson, senior director of product management for Dell’s AI Server and Networking on a conference call with tech press.
“Real time telemetry ties directly to system health, detecting anomalies before they lead to downtime in liquid cooled environments,” she said. “The Integrated Rack Controller continuously monitors for leaks, responding within seconds to isolate risk and safeguard uptime. It can even detect the smallest links as small as 20 microliters.”
In addition to the new server, the company announced that its AMD Instinct-powered PowerEdge XE9785 and XE9785L, both of which were announced at Dell Technologies World 2025 last May, are now generally available.
The company also introduced a new Intel-powered PowerEdge server, the R770AP. It is an air-cooled platform equipped with Intel Xeon 6 P-core 6900-series processors, featuring high-core-count CPUs, large cache sizes and support for CXL memory expansion.
The PowerEdge R770AP offers enhanced parallel processing, reduced memory latency and abundant PCIe lanes enabling accelerated trading algorithms, scalable memory configurations and improved network performance.
Dell first announced its AI strategy last year with Nvidia as a partner and now it is furthering the partnership with integration of Dell’s ObjectScale and PowerScale unstructured data storage devices with the Nvidia NIXL library.
The NIXL library is a part of Nvidia Dynamo, a distributed inference-serving framework built to deploy and automate AI models at scale.
This integration enables scalable KV Cache storage, reuse and sharing, achieving a 1-second Time to First Token (TTFT) at a full context window of 131K tokens – 19X faster than standard vLLM – while reducing infrastructure costs and overcoming GPU memory capacity bottlenecks.
The Dell Automation Platform, now integrated into the Dell AI Factory with Nvidia, enables more intelligent and automated operations by deploying secure, validated, and optimized solutions. This strategy ensures consistent, repeatable results, removes uncertainty, and empowers organizations to fully realize the benefits of AI-driven applications powered by Nvidia’s accelerated computing.
“So with the Dell Automation Platform now joining the Deli AI Factory with Nvidia family, customers will be able to access a curated catalog of validated workload blueprints through the Dell Automation Platform. IT teams will gain access to this library of AI blueprints that can then deploy it on Deli AI Factory with Nvidia configurations,” Varun Chhabra, senior vice president of ISG product marketing said on the call.
