Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) has unveiled a new round of upgrades to its Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA platform, rolling out enhanced storage integrations, refreshed server options, and expanded automation tools aimed at large-scale enterprise AI deployments.
The company said its ObjectScale and PowerScale storage solutions now work with NVIDIA’s NIXL library, part of NVIDIA Dynamo, delivering what Dell describes as a 1-second Time to First Token at a 131,000-token context window. This linkage is designed to ease GPU memory constraints while helping customers lower overall infrastructure spend.
On the compute side, Dell introduced the PowerEdge XE8712, a new server expected to be available in December, capable of supporting up to 144 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs per rack. The vendor is also extending its AI Factory portfolio with the PowerEdge XE7740 and XE7745 systems, which can be configured with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs as well as NVIDIA Hopper hardware.
Dell is also building out its Dell Automation Platform, adding automated deployment features tailored to AI workloads and integrating software-driven tools through partnerships with Tabnine and Cohere North. Its Professional Services arm will offer pilot programs that use a customer’s own data to test and refine AI business use cases before larger rollouts.
In networking, Dell plans to add Enterprise SONiC Distribution support for NVIDIA Spectrum-X platforms in the first half of 2026. Over the same period, SmartFabric Manager is expected to extend support to Dell’s Enterprise SONiC on Spectrum-X infrastructure.
Red Hat OpenShift validation has been broadened to more Dell PowerEdge servers, including the PowerEdge XE9680 equipped with NVIDIA H100 and H200 Tensor Core GPUs. At the client level, Dell’s AI PC ecosystem now accommodates NVIDIA RTX Blackwell and RTX Ada GPUs across a wider selection of systems.
“The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA solves the problem every enterprise is facing: how to move from AI pilots to production without rebuilding their infrastructure,” said Jeff Clarke, Dell’s vice chairman and chief operating officer.
According to Dell, most of the newly announced capabilities are being rolled out on a global basis.
