Dell Technologies has introduced , a new addition to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA that gives workgroups the ability to deploy and scale agentic AI workflows locally without the cost, latency and data sovereignty constraints of cloud-only approaches.
With the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime now supported across the entire Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, enterprises benefit from a single security and policy enforcement layer from deskside workstations to Dell PowerEdge XE servers.
As AI workflows shift toward agentic architectures, token usage compounds at an accelerating rate, driving cloud costs that can quickly become unsustainable despite falling token prices. Cloud-only strategies fall short on what matters at scale: economics, security and data sovereignty. Organisations running agentic AI need infrastructure that addresses all three and scales with workloads without requiring a rebuild every time they mature.聽
The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA delivers an enterprise-ready path from the desk where decisions are made to the data center where they scale. For agentic AI workloads of various sizes, organisations can break even versus public cloud API costs in as little as three months with Dell Deskside Agentic AI. Deskside systems keep inferencing local, costs predictable and data secure, giving businesses greater control over their AI environment. NVIDIA OpenShell gives developers and IT teams a secure, sandboxed environment to build, deploy and govern AI agents across the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA from workstations to servers. Teams can build and iterate more freely while reducing exposure to unpredictable cloud inference costs, bandwidth expenses and IP risks.
“The most efficient token is the one produced closest to the data, and most enterprise data isn’t in the cloud. Dell Deskside Agentic AI gives every workgroup a secure local environment to run agents, keep costs predictable and keep IP inside the building. What works at the desk scales to the data center. That’s a deployment model for the next decade,” said Jeff Clarke, chief operating officer, Dell Technologies.
Justin Boitano, vice president, AI Platforms, NVIDIA added: 鈥淎s enterprises reshape and scale the future of work with agentic AI, they鈥檙e seeking infrastructure that spans the full enterprise 鈥� from our desks where work happens to the AI factories where intelligence scales. With NVIDIA OpenShell across the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, enterprises can develop locally, scale securely and deploy agentic AI on one consistent platform.鈥�
The solution
Dell Deskside Agentic AI is built around the reality that roughly over 50% of agentic workflows run on open-weight models. This is where the 30-billion to 284-billion parameter model range performs bulk reasoning that efficiently drives operations forward.
From coding assistants and research agents to highly secure, private AI assistants for regulated industries, the solution offers a range of Dell high-performance workstations, each sized for different workload and budget requirements.
These pair with the reference stack and Dell Services to handle heavy AI workloads wherever they make the most economic sense. With Dell Deskside Agentic AI, organisations can reduce spend up to 87% compared to cloud APIs, over two years.
