Dell Expands AI Data Platform to Boost Enterprise AI

Dell Technologies, the world leader in AI infrastructure, has announced major enhancements to its Dell AI Data Platform, designed to help organizations turn distributed, siloed data into faster, more reliable AI insights.
As AI adoption grows across industries, enterprises face the challenge of managing massive, fragmented datasets. Dell’s platform addresses this by providing an open, modular foundation that separates storage from processing, removing bottlenecks and enabling workloads such as AI training, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and inferencing.

The platform’s core capabilities include high-performance storage engines, intelligent data engines, built-in cyber resiliency, and comprehensive data management services. Storage engines like Dell PowerScale and Dell ObjectScale deliver scalable, secure, multi-protocol access for demanding AI workloads. Recent updates, including integration with NVIDIA GB200 and GB300 NVL72, optimize performance, reduce rack space, and lower power consumption. ObjectScale now supports S3 over RDMA, boosting throughput by up to 230% while reducing latency and CPU usage.
Dell’s data engines streamline real-time AI analysis and search. The Data Search Engine, built with Elastic, enables semantic search and RAG applications across billions of files, while the Data Analytics Engine, developed with Starburst, allows seamless querying of spreadsheets, databases, and cloud warehouses, transforming raw data into actionable business insights. Integration with NVIDIA cuVS adds GPU-accelerated hybrid vector search, making AI search faster and more efficient.
