Dell Technologies Unveils Generative AI Strategies, debuts PowerScale systems to deliver up to a 200% performance improvement, accelerating data access for AI workloads.
Dell Technologies unveiled AI and Generative AI strategies, helping customers accelerate performance with new enterprise data storage advancements and validation by collaborating with NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD AI infrastructure.
Through Dell’s collaboration with NVIDIA, customers will be able to take advantage of a validated combination of NVIDIA DGX systems, Dell PowerScale storage and NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand and Spectrum Ethernet networking to achieve faster and more efficient AI storage. Dell’s solution is expected to be the first ethernet storage solution validated on NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD.
“Storage performance is a critical factor for successful AI and generative AI outcomes. Customers are relying on us to continually push the boundaries of storage innovation, including removing data access bottlenecks that limit the throughput and scalability of compute-intensive applications. We are addressing these needs by delivering fast, efficient and secure access to data and turning it into a proverbial goldmine of AI and GenAI possibilities,” said Arthur Lewis, president, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell Technologies.
Dell’s PowerScale OneFS software enhancements will allow companies to prepare, train, fine-tune and inference AI models more quickly, enabling customers to double the performance of streaming reads and writes. Furthermore, it will address the increasing customer demands for higher AI and GenAI performance.
“We make an engineering change every 17 minutes, a speed unachievable without a powerful IT infrastructure that underpins all of our processes. Thanks to Dell PowerScale, we’re equipped to leverage cutting-edge AI applications, combining high-performance storage with computing capabilities to create a winning formula for success,”said Dan Keyworth, director of business technology, McLaren Racing.
“Dell continues to design its file and object storage solutions with the customer in mind, allowing them to modernize their infrastructure with an AI-ready foundation to support the most intensive workloads, such as generative AI. With PowerScale’s latest performance advances, customers can improve AI model training and fine-tuning to make better business decisions based on their data wherever it resides with increased speed and accuracy,” said Scott Sinclair, practice director, Enterprise Strategy Group.
Dell APEX File Storage in AWS and Azure allows customers to take advantage of cloud-native AI and GenAI workflows on data in public clouds or on-premises with improved data access and movement. The Dell PowerScale OneFS software enhancements will be globally available this month.
