Dell Technologies has announced upgrades to its Dell NativeEdge software, making it easier for businesses in Ireland to deploy and use AI at the edge. This as companies increasingly generate and process data outside traditional data centres in the AI era.
Why It Matters?
According to Gartner report “by 2025, more than 50% of enterprise – managed data will be created and processed outside data centres or the cloud”. As data and AI workloads move to the edge, businesses need robust, connected and secure systems to manage AI models across various locations.
Dell NativeEdge advancements, part of Dell AI Factory capabilities, address these needs and offer organisations across Ireland AI software integrations and high-availability capabilities to provide more resiliency and reliability in the deployment and management of AI at the edge.
Boost Edge and AI Workload Efficiency with NativeEdge
Dell NativeEdge is a unique software platform that secures device setup at scale, offers remote management, and manages applications across multiple clouds. The new updates enable high-availability clustering for devices like Dell PowerEdge servers and OptiPlex workstations.
This means high-availability features ensure critical processes and AI workloads continue smoothly even if there are network issues or device failures. It easily handles changing workloads in environments like retail stores and utility companies and works seamlessly with Dell storage solutions to support AI model training and deployment.
NativeEdge AI Software Integrations Simplify Edge AI Deployments
Deploying AI at the edge can be complex and time-consuming. Dell offers over 55 pre-built NativeEdge Blueprints to automate and speed up this process, reducing manual setup and errors. The expanded catalogue now includes open-source tools that support continuous AI workflows for quick deployment of AI solutions.
Dell also offers services to help organisations design and develop custom AI solutions using NativeEdge software.
“AI is accelerating new edge workloads and opportunities at an unprecedented rate, and organizations across industries are asking for simpler and more reliable ways to use AI at the edge,” said Gil Shneorson, Senior Vice President, Solutions and Platforms, Dell Technologies. “Our NativeEdge expansion automates the deployment and management of edge AI workloads, with features to support business continuity, so organizations can continually use the latest AI advancements at the edge to drive revenues and positive customer outcomes.”
“With over 1,000 IoT-enabled facilities, Dell NativeEdge helps us monitor real-time infrastructure elements, ensuring optimal conditions for our produce, and receive comprehensive insights into our produce packaging operations,” said Keith Bradley, Vice President, Information Technology, Nature Fresh Farms. “Dell NativeEdge has enhanced our operational efficiencies and reduced costs, while supporting our continued growth and innovation in yield optimization and environmental monitoring.”
The Dell NativeEdge advancements will be available by January 2025.
