Move Faster from Agentic Experiments to Business Impact

Key takeaways: Learn how Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA gives organizations a secure, predictable path to build, test and scale agentic AI from pilot to production.

AI is moving quickly, but how can organizations turn that momentum into business value when promising projects stall before production? Data often sits across on-premises environments, data centers and edge locations, and teams face skill gaps, rising costs and governance concerns. This makes it harder than it should be to deploy AI in a secure and manageable way.

Organizations need a practical way to build and refine agentic AI close to their data with infrastructure that can start small and scale when needed. Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA helps address those needs with a portfolio designed to simplify development, streamline deployment and support scale with greater confidence. It offers trusted support to help identify the right use cases, stand up platforms faster and keep deployments aligned with security and governance requirements.

At Dell Technologies World in Las Vegas, starting May 18, 2026, Dell Technologies is expanding our portfolio with new capabilities that help organizations move faster from experiments to outcomes. These additions give IT teams a more secure, predictable path for agentic AI, from deskside development to enterprise deployment.

Securely scale agentic AI from deskside to data center

Dell Technologies is elevating agentic AI development and deployment by introducing distinct additions across its portfolio, giving IT teams greater clarity and control at every stage. NVIDIA OpenShell is a secure runtime for building, deploying and governing agents according to corporate policies. With OpenShell, each agent runs in its individual, isolated sandbox that enforces policies at the infrastructure level and creates a controlled environment for agentic experimentation and development. This approach reduces risk and accelerates development timelines.

The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA introduces NVIDIA AI blueprints to help teams move from prototype to production more efficiently. These blueprints include reference examples that streamline setup, enhance performance for complex multi-agent workflows and ensure deployments are both effective and reliable. This clear, proven path helps organizations avoid common pitfalls and scale AI initiatives with confidence. For example, the NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint is an open reference example for building intelligent agents for deep research.

To support early-stage development, Dell Deskside Agentic AI offers a controlled environment for building and refining agent workflows within workgroups and high-performance workstations including the Dell Pro Precision workstations, GB10 and GB300. This innovative approach gives workgroups the ability to deploy and scale agentic AI workflows locally, without the cost, latency and data sovereignty constraints of cloud-only approaches. It is designed for teams that need to build, test and fine-tune agents close to their data, tools and workflows.

For developers and power users, that means a secure local environment where they can move faster without sending every iteration to a remote model. This is where deskside matters. It is close enough to the user to support fast iteration, powerful enough for serious AI workloads and connected enough to become part of a broader enterprise AI architecture — not a disconnected island of experimentation.

With NVIDIA OpenShell now supported across the entire Dell AI Factory, enterprises can benefit from a single security and policy framework spanning Dell Pro Precision workstations, GB10, GB300 and Dell PowerEdge XE servers. Teams can develop and refine agents at the deskside, then move successful workflows toward data center deployment with a more consistent operating model.

Dell Services for agentic AI provide trusted guidance to help organizations identify strategic use cases, establish agentic platforms, streamline integration and maintain operational consistency at scale.

Together, these enhancements allow IT leaders to move from ideas to impact with less risk, stronger governance, and better alignment between experimentation and business outcomes. Learn more about Dell Deskside Agentic AI solutions here.

Speed up AI adoption with scalable, flexible infrastructure

Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA now offers modular foundations that give organizations more flexibility in starting and scaling their AI initiatives. These solutions help you align infrastructure with current needs, scale with fewer disruptions and support AI growth without overbuilding.

The Small Inference Foundation provides a cost-effective entry point for deployments. It allows businesses to deploy a full AI factory starting with just a single server and two NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. This setup is ideal for quickly piloting AI use cases, such as knowledge assistants that provide accurate answers across repositories, code assistants to boost developer productivity, or computer vision to analyze visual data. By starting small and expanding as needed, organizations can build AI infrastructure tailored to their goals. This ensures a faster time-to-value for AI use cases and a foundation that can adapt to evolving business demands.

For more demanding workloads, the Enterprise Fine-Tuning and Training Foundation supports larger-scale AI training and fine-tuning across diverse workloads, from pilot to full production. It delivers reliable, high-performance infrastructure for mission-critical applications.

This modular design helps IT leaders align infrastructure with current needs, scale with fewer disruptions and support AI growth without overbuilding. The new modular foundations are available during second quarter, as well as NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition.
