Dell/AMD partnership: Three insights you may have missed from theCUBE’s coverage of Dell Technologies World
With the AI factory becoming a key focus in enterprise IT, hybrid architecture has become equally important as organizations seek to generate workloads on-premises, in the cloud and at the edge. This is why enterprises are increasingly looking toward major players such as Dell Technologies Inc. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. for production-scale deployment in the AI era.
The use of AI accelerators in Dell PowerEdge servers highlights this trend. By enabling enterprises to run meaningful AI inference workloads on high-performance processors without expensive infrastructure rebuilding, Dell and AMD are helping customers on the path to autonomy.
“We’ve been working with AMD for years on the CPU side, certainly the last few years on the GPU side, [with] deep engineering relationships,” said Melissa Crichton (pictured, right), vice president of server and AI solutions at Dell during an interview with theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. “We basically will create and build the runbook. We’ve done all the testing, certifications on the hardware…helping to make it an easy button for our customers. They don’t want to be messing with the bits, they want it to be working, running and have time-to-first-token as soon as possible.”
