Dell rolls out enhancements to its AI Platform with AMD

Dell has announced a pair of enhancements to its Dell AI Platform with AMD, a part of the Dell AI Factory.

Dell is introducing a new large-scale configuration designed for rigorous model training, pre-training and inferencing, utilizing Dell PowerEdge XE9785 server nodes equipped with AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and EPYC CPUs, backed by the PowerSwitch networking and PowerScale storage.

Powered by AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs, the platform delivers what Dell claims is "industry-leading" memory capacity, enabling larger models and more efficient scaling. 

Dell is also extending its AI Factory modular architecture to include AMD Instinct MI350P PCIe GPUs and AMD EPYC CPUs.

This new configuration utilises Dell PowerEdge XE7745 and R7725 server nodes, Dell PowerSwitch networking and Dell PowerScale storage alongside the Dell AI Data Platform. 

Both configurations utilise the AMD ROCm and AMD enterprise AI software stack, with native integration of open frameworks such as Pytorch and vLLM. The solution will also be available through the Dell Automation Platform, which Dell states simplifies initial deployments and ongoing scaling.
