Why it matters
Successful AI deployments are vital for enterprises to remain competitive, but challenges like system integration and skill gaps can delay the value enterprises realize from AI.(2) More than 75% of organizations want their infrastructure providers to deliver capabilities across all aspects of the AI adoption journey, (3) driving customer demand for simplified AI deployments that can scale.
As the top provider of AI centric infrastructure, (4) Dell Technologies – in collaboration with NVIDIA Corp. – provides a consistent experience across AI infrastructure, software and services, offering customers a one-stop shop to scale AI initiatives from deskside to large-scale data center deployments.
Expanded Dell AI infrastructure portfolio is engineered for right-sizing high-performance needs
At the center of the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA is end-to-end infrastructure that powers AI innovation across industries from startups, to governments, to a world’s largest enterprises and cloud service providers:

As the global leader in workstations that feature NVIDIA’s most powerful professional graphics, (5) Dell expands and innovates the Dell expands and innovates the Dell Pro Max high-performance AI PC portfolio to meet the needs of today’s AI developers, power users and specialty users. The portfolio offers a versatile range of powerful AI PCs designed for demanding tasks – from light AI development, data analysis and design simulation to training, inferencing and fine-tuning the most complex LLMs, before deploying at scale.
- Dell Pro Max with GB10 packs performance in a compact and power-efficient form factor. This AI developer workstation features the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, a system-on-a-chip based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Delivering up to 1 petaflop (1,000 TFLOPs) of AI computing performance and 128GB of unified memory, AI developers can develop, train and test models before deploying on other Dell infrastructure offerings.
- Dell Pro Max with GB300, at the top end of the high-performance PC range, gives AI developers and data scientists a computing class of its own – bringing server-level compute to a desktop. With the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, the system delivers up to 20 petaflops of AI computing performance, 784GB unified system memory (up to 288GB HBME3e GPU memory and 496GB of LPDDR5X CPU memory) and the fastest networking solution with NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC to power the most intensive and largest AI workloads, training up to 460 billion parameter models.
- Dell Pro Max notebooks and desktops offer outstanding power, reliability and scalability. Equipped with NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell Generation GPUs and Intel Core Ultra (Series 2), AMD Ryzen-powered Copilot+ PCs with AI experiences and AMD Threadripper processor options, along with a new bold and elevated design, users can drive productivity across every intensive workload (more about all the Dell Pro Max).
PowerEdge servers drive AI acceleration for enterprises
PowerEdge XE7745 server
- Dell PowerEdge will support the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platform, including the upcoming NVIDIA HGX B300 NVL16, NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition, delivering systems with up to 288GB of HBM3e memory to handle complex AI models with speed and scalability. (6) These forthcoming servers will offer peak AI cluster performance with 800Gb/s throughput with NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNICs. (7)
- PowerEdge XE7740 and XE7745 servers will be available with the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. These servers are currently available with up to 8xNVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs, which includes a 5-year subscription to NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including NVIDIA NIM and the NVIDIA Llama Nemotron models for reasoning, making them a powerful platform for GenAI fine-tuning, inference, and agentic reasoning applications, as well as HPC workloads. They will also support up to 8xNVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition PCIe GPUs which can more than double the AI performance and greater flexibility when integrating AI workloads into business processes.(8)
- PowerEdge XE8712 server featuring the GB200 NVL4 platform powers the next-gen of accelerated AI compute, supporting up to 144xNVIDIA B200 GPUs per Dell IR7000 rack. These liquid-cooled systems are tailored for AI model training and complex HPC simulations, offering a scalable solution that optimizes performance and enhanced computational efficiency, while helping reduce operational costs and saving data center space (more about the additions across Dell servers).
