The new Dell AI Factory includes the devices, servers, storage, data protection, and networking to power your AI workloads anywhere.
The infrastructure provider announced this at Dell Technologies World. “As new AI PCs transform productivity and collaboration, data centers must be designed from the ground up to handle the speed and scale of AI,” said his COO Jeff Clarke. “What we need is new IT infrastructure and devices.”
Purpose-built to meet the specific demands of AI. ”
As such, Dell AI Factory includes infrastructure, solutions, and services that support AI in on-premises, edge, and cloud environments.

These sites should benefit from updated or entirely new products designed specifically to support AI applications. One example is the PowerScale F910, an all-flash file storage system that delivers up to 127% better performance than the F900, according to Dell testing. As a result, you can create AI-based insights faster. Additionally, Dell is introducing Project Lightning, a software architecture that integrates with PowerScale to reduce training time for large and complex AI workflows.
In addition to these storage upgrades, Dell AI Factory aims to attract businesses with new networking innovations. The PowerSwitch Z9864F-ON uses the Broadcom Tomahawk 5 chipset, which is said to deliver twice the network performance for AI applications compared to the previous generation. To achieve this, the network architecture emphasizes high throughput, low latency, and easy scalability.
Finally, on the networking side, the new PowerEdge XE9680 supports Broadcom 400G PCIe Gen 5.0 Ethernet adapters. The combination of PowerEdge hardware, PowerSwitch Z9864F-ON, and 400G PCIe Gen 5.0 Ethernet adapters promise increased performance, scalability, and efficiency by building a robust Ethernet fabric.
