Enterprises face persistent challenges in moving AI from proof-of-concept to production at scale, including fragmented infrastructure, high costs, governance gaps, and compliance requirements. Cognizant AI Factory addresses these by providing a managed, full-stack service that streamlines provisioning, orchestration, and day-to-day operations while embedding enterprise-grade security and cost controls.
The platform leverages Dell's PowerEdge Servers, PowerSwitch Networking, PowerScale storage, and services alongside NVIDIA's advanced AI stack to deliver performance suited to complex enterprise workloads. Fractional GPU capabilities allow multiple business units or clients to share resources securely without compromising isolation or data privacy, maximizing utilization and lowering adoption barriers.
"Enterprises everywhere are racing to operationalize AI, but too often run into barriers around scale, cost and governance," said Sriram Kumaresan, Global Head of Cloud and Infrastructure Services, Cognizant. "Cognizant AI Factory changes the equation. By pairing best-in-class infrastructure with intelligent orchestration and enterprise-grade guardrails, we're supporting clients to turn AI into a durable engine for business value. The initiative also reflects Cognizant's evolution into a frontier organization, applying AI systematically within its own operations to continuously refine its platforms, governance models and delivery approaches before scaling them for clients."
"Cognizant AI Factory helps enterprises turn AI's potential into real value and progress," said Denise Millard, Chief Partner Officer, Dell Technologies. "Powered by the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, a full stack solution, including Dell's high-performance PowerEdge Servers, PowerSwitch Networking, PowerScale and Services, we're giving businesses a clear, fast path from pilots to full-scale deployment."
"Across industries, enterprises need solutions to quickly move AI from proof-of-concept to a secure, governed and cost-efficient operational engine," said John Fanelli, Vice President, Enterprise Software at NVIDIA. "Together, NVIDIA, Cognizant and Dell Technologies are delivering the AI infrastructure and software foundation that equips organizations with the performance and flexibility needed to scale AI deployments with confidence."
Cognizant AI Factory supports rapid experimentation through sandbox environments, accelerates development with pre-configured blueprints and pipelines, and ensures ongoing reliability via an AI resiliency layer for governance, monitoring, and lifecycle oversight. The consumption-based model promotes predictable spending and optimized resource use.
This launch strengthens Cognizant's position as an AI Builder for enterprises, delivering end-to-end solutions that bridge AI investment with measurable business outcomes.
