en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dell has launched a new PowerEdge server series, further strengthening its integration with NVIDIA on AI factory platforms. Among this series, the model XE8812 is designed for enterprise users running intensive AI and high-performance computing workloads. It is a rack-scale product that can scale up to 144 graphics processing units per rack.

The new platform adopts the Vera Rubin NVL4 architecture, increasing the core count from 144 in the previous generation GB200 to 176. The XE8812 is housed in the ORv3-style PowerRack series, which Dell describes as "one of the highest-density platforms in the industry."

"Organizations working on the world's most important research—such as decoding the human genome, modeling future energy systems, and building sovereign AI infrastructure that nations rely on—deserve infrastructure that matches the ambition of their work," said Arun Narayanan, Senior Vice President of Compute and Networking at Dell. "The Dell PowerEdge XE8812 embodies Dell's commitment to pushing boundaries, providing these organizations with the density, memory, and open architecture needed to tackle workloads that once seemed impossible."

Dell's collaboration with NVIDIA has evolved beyond traditional server sales relationships, with both companies jointly designing solutions for the AI factory concept (or AI data center, to avoid the latter's marketing terminology). Their partnership has driven the iteration of PowerRack, a rack-scale architecture integrating compute, networking, and storage into a factory-integrated system designed to reduce deployment complexity. They have also co-developed Dell Exascale Storage, a unified rack management tool for next-generation NVIDIA platforms.

Additionally, Dell is a major proponent of the NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet platform, integrating this network fabric into its broader enterprise SONiC distribution platform, an open-source operating system based on the Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC). The latest result of their collaboration is a fanless, direct liquid-cooled server series, reportedly "tailored for the world's most advanced institutions running demanding HPC and AI workloads."

The PowerEdge XE8812s can be orchestrated via Dell's Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC). Integrated rack controllers and OpenManage Enterprise software tools provide cluster administrators with real-time telemetry and automatic leak detection insights. Dell claims that production-ready racks can be deployed and running live workloads in just over six hours.

"The convergence of AI and HPC is redefining what organizations expect from infrastructure," said Chris Marriott, Vice President of Enterprise Platforms at NVIDIA. "Dell and NVIDIA are jointly raising that standard, combining the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL4 architecture and CUDA-X libraries with Dell's engineering and large-scale deployment expertise to deliver the performance, efficiency, and openness required for the world's most demanding AI and scientific computing workloads."
