It features support for up to eight Nvidia Blackwell Tensor Core GPUs within a compact 4U form factor, offering what’s likely an industry-leading solution for GPU density and performance efficiency in standard x86 rack configurations.
Finally, Dell introduced a new high-speed networking switch, the Dell PowerSwitch Z9864F-ON. The new solution, powered by Broadcom’s Tomahawk 5 chipsets, doubles the network performance of AI applications through enhanced throughput and reduced latency.A vital aspect of the Dell AI Factory's strategy is its open ecosystem and partnership model.
Similarly, Dell’s ongoing collaboration with Meta simplifies the deployment of Meta Llama 3 models on-premises, providing organizations with test results, performance data, and deployment recipes to streamline AI integrations.Enterprise IT shops struggle with how to best approach deploying AI.
Tying the unproven Project Lightning to Dell PowerScale limits its reach. This isn’t a technology that can be leveraged for AI training the in cloud, for example, so organizations with a heterogeneous training environment won’t find use for the technology. Organizations looking to do small-scale training, however, may find Project Lightning perfectly acceptable. This is an area where the industry will look for further proof-points from Dell.
