Dell Technologies is expanding its Dell AI Factory with Nvidia portfolio, positioning enterprise-controlled infrastructure as the foundation for scaling agentic AI workloads from local systems to the data center.

New additions to the Dell AI Factory portfolio span agentic AI deployment, data orchestration, rack-scale infrastructure, cooling, governance, and ecosystem integrations.

A central theme across the announcements was infrastructure designed to support autonomous and multi-agent AI systems while maintaining tighter control over data, governance, and operational costs.

Dell introduced Dell Deskside Agentic AI, a new local AI deployment platform powered by Dell workstations and Nvidia’s NemoClaw. The company said the system allows organizations to build and run autonomous AI agents locally with data remaining on-device, targeting software engineering, research, and regulated industry use cases where privacy, sovereignty, and predictable infrastructure costs are priorities.

Dell also announced support for Nvidia’s OpenShell, a runtime environment for autonomous agents, across the broader Dell AI Factory portfolio. According to Dell, this allows organizations to build and govern AI agents across infrastructure ranging from workstation-class systems through to PowerEdge AI servers.

The company additionally expanded the Dell AI Data Platform with new orchestration, search, and analytics capabilities designed to accelerate AI data preparation and large-scale analytics workloads. Enhancements include indexing and orchestration for billions of unstructured files, GPU-accelerated SQL analytics using Nvidia Blackwell graphic processing units (GPUs) and new integrations with Nvidia Omniverse for digital twin and physical AI workflows.

Infrastructure updates

On the infrastructure side, Dell introduced PowerRack, a rack-scale architecture integrating compute, networking, and storage into a factory-integrated system aimed at reducing deployment complexity for enterprise AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Additional announcements included updates to Dell Exascale Storage, unified rack management tooling, and new liquid cooling infrastructure designed for next-generation Nvidia platforms.

Dell also highlighted an expanding AI ecosystem strategy spanning the likes of Google, Hugging Face, OpenAI, Palantir, and ServiceNow. Many of the integrations focus on enabling enterprises to deploy AI models, assistants, and agentic systems on-premises or within sovereign environments rather than through fully public-cloud-based deployments.

The announcements underscore how infrastructure vendors are increasingly positioning enterprise AI around governance, data locality ,and operational control as organizations move beyond AI experimentation toward production-scale deployments.
