News summary
- Project Helix makes it easy for enterprises to build and deploy
trustworthy generative AI
- Dell and NVIDIA infrastructure and software include built-in
data security for on-premises generative AI applications
Full story
Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) and NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA)
announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to
build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and
securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence,
enterprise search and a range of other capabilities.
Project Helix will deliver a series of full-stack solutions with
technical expertise and pre-built tools based on Dell and NVIDIA
infrastructure and software. It includes a complete blueprint to
help enterprises use their proprietary data and more easily deploy
generative AI responsibly and accurately.
"Project Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more
quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data
underused today," said Jeff Clarke,
vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, Dell Technologies.
"With highly scalable and efficient infrastructure, enterprises can
create a new wave of generative AI solutions that can reinvent
their industries."
"We are at a historic moment, when incredible advances in
generative AI are intersecting with enterprise demand to do more
with less," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. "With Dell
Technologies, we've designed extremely scalable, highly efficient
infrastructure that enables enterprises to transform their business
by securely using their own data to build and operate generative AI
applications."
Project Helix simplifies enterprise generative AI deployments
with a tested combination of optimized hardware and software, all
available from Dell. This delivers the power to convert enterprise
data into smarter, higher value outcomes, while maintaining data
privacy. These solutions will help companies quickly deploy
customized AI applications that drive trusted decisions from their
own data to grow and scale their businesses.
Blueprint for on-premises generative AI
Project Helix will support the complete generative AI lifecycle
– from infrastructure provisioning, modeling, training,
fine-tuning, application development and deployment, to deploying
inference and streamlining results. The validated designs help
enterprises quickly build on-premises generative AI infrastructure
at scale.
Dell PowerEdge servers, such as the PowerEdge XE9680 and
PowerEdge R760xa, are optimized to deliver performance for
generative AI training and AI inferencing. The combination of Dell
servers with NVIDIA® H100 Tensor Core GPUs and NVIDIA Networking
form the infrastructure backbone for these workloads. Customers can
pair this infrastructure with resilient and scalable unstructured
data storage, including Dell PowerScale and Dell ECS
Enterprise Object Storage.
With all Dell Validated Designs, customers can use the
enterprise features of Dell server and storage software, with
observability through Dell CloudIQ software. Project Helix also
includes NVIDIA AI Enterprise software to provide tools for
customers as they move through the AI lifecycle. NVIDIA AI
Enterprise includes more than 100 frameworks, pretrained models and
development tools such as the NVIDIA NeMo™ large language model
framework and NeMo Guardrails software for building topical, safe
and secure generative AI chatbots.
Project Helix includes security and privacy built into
foundational components, such as Secured Component Verification.
Protecting data on-premises reduces inherent risk and helps
companies meet regulatory requirements.
"Companies are eager to explore the opportunities that
generative AI tools enable for their organizations, but many aren't
sure how to get started," said Bob
O'Donnell, president and chief analyst, TECHnalysis
Research. "By putting together a complete hardware and software
solution from trusted brands, Dell Technologies and NVIDIA are
offering enterprises a head start to building and refining
AI-powered models that can leverage their own company's unique
assets and create powerful, customized tools."
Availability
Dell Validated Designs based on the
Project Helix initiative will be available through traditional
channels and APEX flexible consumption options, beginning in
July 2023.
