Dell Teams up with NVIDIA to Expand AI Factory, Customer Base Reaches 5000 Enterprises

About local time on May 18th, Dell Technologies announced the expansion of the AI Factory platform in collaboration with NVIDIA at the Dell Technologies World conference held in Las Vegas, to provide enterprises with AI infrastructure for intelligent agents that can be directly invested in production and support large-scale deployment.

The CEO of Dell, Michael Dell, revealed in an interview with Bloomberg that since February of this year, the server product line equipped with NVIDIA GPUs has added 1000 new enterprise customers, and the total number of customers for AI Factory has exceeded 5000. He stated, "We have always been in an absolute advantage in this field," attributing this momentum to the strong reputation that Dell has cultivated on existing enterprise infrastructure.

NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, stated at the conference, "The era of agent AI has arrived, and enterprise AI adoption is growing in a parabolic trend." He positioned the collaboration between the two parties as a "full-stack AI factory," covering accelerated computing, networking, storage, software, and services, and can expand from the desktop to the data center. The vice president of NVIDIA's AI platform, Justin Boitani, added that with Nvidia OpenShell, enterprises can complete local development, secure expansion, and deployment of agents on a unified platform.

In terms of the ecosystem, Dell has simultaneously expanded its open partner lineup, adding new collaborators such as Google, Hugging Face, OpenAI, Palantir, ServiceNow, and SpaceX, offering enterprises more choices for AI deployment paths.

Product-wise, Dell announced a series of new products to be launched over the next year, among which the Dell Data Analytics Engine equipped with NVIDIA's Blackwell and Vera architectures is planned to hit the market in the first quarter of 2027.
