ROCK, Texas, Dec. 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) is expanding its
strategic relationship with AI hyperscaler, CoreWeave, as the first
to ship Dell PowerEdge XE9712 server racks with NVIDIA GB200
NVL72 to support CoreWeave's Cloud Services Platform.
CoreWeave will receive1 liquid-cooled, fully-integrated
Dell IR7000 racks with Dell PowerEdge XE9712 servers,
supported by Dell's AI professional services to optimize
CoreWeave's data center design.
The agreement builds on work between the two companies to meet
the growing demand for high-performance cloud environments for
generative AI developments. The Dell AI Factory with
NVIDIA solutions bring together Dell's infrastructure and
services capabilities with NVIDIA accelerated computing,
networking, and AI software.
CoreWeave's specialized AI cloud services platform is built from
the ground up to meet the needs of complex AI workloads. The
investments CoreWeave is making in infrastructure and services are
intended to simplify deployments for enterprises and serve the most
demanding and ambitious workloads of AI labs.
"AI has boundless potential, and Dell is at the epicenter of
this revolution," said Jeff Clarke,
chief operating officer and vice chairman, Dell Technologies. "By
shipping the first fully integrated, liquid-cooled Dell IR7000
racks with NVIDIA GB200 NVL72, we've equipped CoreWeave's
enterprise customers with the speed and scalability to accelerate
AI-driven projects. Together, Dell and CoreWeave will empower
enterprises to harness AI."
CoreWeave Expands AI Cloud Service Portfolio Using Dell
AI Factory with NVIDIA
CoreWeave is utilizing the 21-inch liquid-cooled Dell Integrated
Rack IR7000s that are optimized for AI workloads and designed for
industry-leading density. These racks will deploy NVIDIA
Blackwell via Dell PowerEdge XE9712 servers into CoreWeave's
compute platform and scale with the NVIDIA
Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking platform to facilitate
large language model training and real-time inferencing in
large-scale AI deployments. Dell's tailored rack systems offering
efficient power management and enhanced cable setup, with the 25X
energy efficiency offered by NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 over its
predecessor, are crucial for supporting AI at scale.
CoreWeave will use Dell's extensive Professional Services
expertise to deliver and deploy fully integrated and validated
racks. With Dell Integrated Rack Scalable Systems (IRSS),
which combines factory and rack integration, solution testing and
expert on-site deployment to form ready-to-use infrastructure,
CoreWeave will compress implementation timelines significantly. The
company will also use Dell's ProSupport One for Data Center to
provide cost-optimized support tailored to customer needs.
The Dell AI infrastructure will be integrated with CoreWeave's
managed software cloud services, including CoreWeave Kubernetes
Service and SUNK (Slurm-on-Kubernetes). The platforms provide the
ideal combination of high performance, ease-of-use, security and
flexibility. Coupled with CoreWeave's Mission Control
capabilities that ensure peak hardware performance and
functionality, customers can access large-scale NVIDIA accelerated
computing and industry-leading system performance.
"We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of AI development,"
says Brian Venturo, co-founder and
Chief Strategy Officer at CoreWeave. "Dell Technologies
is a strategic partner when it comes to delivering world-class
performance at scale, bringing cutting-edge cloud services to
market and helping our customers build the next generation of AI
applications."
