Dell Technologies introduces Dell Deskside Agentic AI, 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.
Dell Deskside Agentic AI enables local deployment of 30B to 1T parameter models at deskside.
Organizations can break even versus public cloud API costs in as little as three months.
Reduce spend up to 87% compared to cloud APIs over two years (Dell internal estimate).
Three workstation tiers: Pro Max with GB10 (30B-200B), Pro Precision 9 (30B-500B), Pro Max with GB300 (120B-1T).
NVIDIA OpenShell provides sandboxed runtime for building, testing and governing AI agents.
NVIDIA AI-Q 2.0 blueprint supports multi-agent workflows for financial services, public sector, and manufacturing.
Jeff Clarke, chief operating officer, Dell Technologies: "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."
Justin Boitano, vice president, AI Platforms, NVIDIA: "As enterprises reshape and scale the future of work with agentic AI, they're seeking infrastructure that spans the full enterprise — 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."
Ryan Shrout, president, Signal65: "As enterprises transition from AI experimentation to full-scale production, the need for secure, scalable and cost-effective infrastructure has never been greater. Dell Deskside Agentic AI, as part of the Dell AI Factory, bridges the gap between local control and enterprise scalability, while providing headroom for continued iteration. This deskside to data center capability is unique and empowers organizations to harness the full potential of agentic AI while maintaining data sovereignty and predictable costs."
Dell Pro Max with GB10: Compact and power-efficient system for small-scale, individual agent prototyping, starting with 30 billion up to 200 billion parameter models.
Dell Pro Precision 9: Enterprise workstation towers featuring Intel Xeon 600 processors and up to five NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell Workstation Edition GPU configurations, supporting models from 30 billion to 500 billion parameters.
Dell Pro Max with GB300: Powered by the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip and Dell's exclusive MaxCool technology, purpose-built for inference of frontier-level AI models from 120 billion up to 1 trillion parameter models.
NVIDIA NemoClaw reference stack: An open-source foundation for securely managing always-on AI agents built on OpenClaw, combining NVIDIA Nemotron open models for reasoning and coding, and OpenShell's secure runtime.
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, now supported across the entire Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, spanning Dell high-performance workstations through Dell PowerEdge XE servers on Canonical Ubuntu and Red Hat AI.
Dell Deskside Agentic AI is available now. NVIDIA OpenShell (on Canonical Ubuntu and Red Hat AI in the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA) and NVIDIA AI-Q 2.0 for Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA are available now. Dell-NVIDIA AI-Q 2.0 Reference Architecture, powered by Dell AI Data Platform, is available now.
