Dell Technologies Delivers Production-Ready Agentic AI from Deskside to Data Cente

Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) 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.

As AI workflows shift toward agentic architectures, token usage compounds at an accelerating rate, driving cloud costs that can quickly become unsustainable despite falling token prices. Cloud-only strategies fall short on what matters at scale: economics, security and data sovereignty. Organizations running agentic AI need infrastructure that addresses all three and scales with workloads without requiring a rebuild every time they mature.

The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA delivers an enterprise-ready path from the desk where decisions are made to the data center where they scale. For agentic AI workloads of various sizes, organizations can break even versus public cloud API costs in as little as three months with Dell Deskside Agentic AI.1 Deskside systems keep inferencing local, costs predictable and data secure, giving businesses greater control over their AI environment. 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. Teams can build and iterate more freely while reducing exposure to unpredictable cloud inference costs, bandwidth expenses and IP risks.

Dell Deskside Agentic AI is built around the reality that roughly over 50% of agentic workflows run on open-weight models.2 This is where the 30-billion to 284-billion parameter model range performs bulk reasoning that efficiently drives operations forward. From coding assistants and research agents to highly secure, private AI assistants for regulated industries, the solution offers a range of Dell high-performance workstations, each sized for different workload and budget requirements. These pair with the NVIDIA NemoClaw reference stack and Dell Services to handle heavy AI workloads wherever they make the most economic sense. With Dell Deskside Agentic AI, organizations can reduce spend up to 87% compared to cloud APIs, over two years.3

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 for workstation and up to five NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell Workstation Edition GPU configurations, providing scalable performance for workhorse‑class GPU workloads and 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 for peak efficiency, this platform is 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, the agentic framework that powers persistent, autonomous, multi-step AI workflows on local hardware. The stack combines high-performance NVIDIA Nemotron open models for reasoning and coding, and OpenShell's secure runtime — all part of the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit for building and orchestrating long-running agents.

Dell Services: End-to-end guidance through the full agentic AI lifecycle – from initial strategy and hardware deployment to workflow alignment, agent prioritization and ongoing optimization – accelerating time-to-production and closing internal AI skills gaps.

Deploying agentic AI in production requires a consistent framework that protects sensitive data, integrates with current operations and covers the full infrastructure stack. NVIDIA OpenShell, now supported across the entire Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, gives organizations a sandboxed environment to build, deploy and govern agents with privacy and security controls at runtime. It spans Dell high-performance workstations through Dell PowerEdge XE servers on Canonical Ubuntu and Red Hat AI in the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. Developing and deploying agents closer to data improves governance, security and operational control.

NVIDIA AI-Q 2.0 blueprint support gives organizations a tested foundation to deploy multi-agent workflows handling research, decision support and complex tasks, accelerating the move from pilot to production. Now available as the Dell-NVIDIA AI-Q 2.0 Reference Architecture, powered by Dell AI Data Platform, it is engineered for demanding on-premises workloads in regulated industries including 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.”

Cadence Level-5 ChipStack Cuts Semiconductor Verification Cycles From Five Weeks to Under a Day

Chip verification bottlenecks may soon become a thing of the past following Cadence’s COMPUTEX 2026 launch of its Level-5 ChipStack™ AI Super Agent. Developed in deep collaboration with NVIDIA, the autonomous engineering framework integrates directly with Cadence’s signature Xcelium™ Logic Simulation and Jasper® Formal Verification engines to supercharge debugging cycles. In massive internal tests, thousands of engineers deploying these autonomous agents achieved a staggering 40X acceleration in RTL validation. By compressing a traditional, grueling five-week verification loop down to less than 24 hours, the platform resolves one of the costliest and most labor-intensive bottlenecks in modern semiconductor development.

“We see our customers using AI to let their expert engineers take on more ambitious silicon designs with greater speed and confidence,” said Paul Cunningham, senior vice president and general manager of the System Verification Group at Cadence. “With the ChipStack AI Super Agent, we’re taking the next step—moving from AI that assists engineers to autonomous virtual engineers that can implement real design and verification work, grounded in our signoff-accurate engines and running in secure, governed environments so teams can innovate faster with confidence.”

From AI Assistance to Autonomous Engineering

The ChipStack AI Super Agent now operates at Level-5 autonomy, independently executing complex chip design and verification workflows while allowing engineers to inspect, guide and collaborate as needed. Native integration with collaboration environments and compatibility with tools like Codex or Claude Code, provides transparency into autonomous activity, helping teams stay connected to the system’s progress and decisions.

Rather than relying on step-by-step prompts, the ChipStack AI Super Agent evaluates intermediate results, determines next actions and iterates toward closure across tasks such as specification understanding, RTL generation, verification planning, formal analysis, simulation, debug and design convergence. This shifts engineers from executing individual tasks to supervising outcomes and guiding intent, as autonomous verification workflows shrink validation cycles that traditionally took weeks down to less than a day in leading-edge deployments.

Grounded in Engineering Truth, Secured for Production

A key Cadence differentiator is that autonomous agent behavior is tightly coupled with the company’s core physics-based design and verification engines. This keeps AI-directed actions grounded in proven computational models and signoff-accurate results, creating the trust needed for high-stakes engineering programs.

To support production deployment, the ChipStack AI Super Agent is run within the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime, a sandboxed environment for autonomous agents that enforces governance and helps protect sensitive IP through policy controls, isolation and managed access to tools, infrastructure and design data. Together, Cadence’s physics-based engines and OpenShell’s security architecture provide a practical path from supervised pilots to production-grade autonomous flows.

“As semiconductor designs grow more complex, engineering teams need AI agents that can accelerate verification without compromising security, control or trust,” said Timothy Costa, vice president and general manager of computational engineering at NVIDIA. “By securing Cadence's ChipStack AI Super Agent with NVIDIA OpenShell and powering it with Nemotron models, Cadence is bringing governed autonomy to chip design workflows — giving customers a faster, more secure path to develop and validate advanced semiconductors.”

Leading the Next Era of Agentic AI

This announcement reflects the speed of Cadence innovation in agentic AI, powered by NVIDIA. Following the acquisition of ChipStack in November 2025, Cadence launched its first product in February 2026 and expanded into a portfolio of AI super agents at CadenceLIVE in April, introducing ViraStack AI Super Agent for custom and analog design, InnoStack AI Super Agent for digital implementation and signoff, and Cadence AgentStack as the orchestration framework for coordinating agentic workflows across the design stack. Cadence is now extending those capabilities to full autonomy.

Availability

The Level-5 autonomous capabilities of the ChipStack AI Super Agent and the AgentStack orchestration framework are expected to be available to early-access customers in the second half of 2026.

The company will also be highlighting its two industry-first advanced HDD innovations: High Bandwidth Drive Technology and Dual Pivot Drive Technology, which together project a 4x increase in HDD throughput while maintaining the relative I/O per TB rate customers enjoy today. This reduces the need for customers to increase SSD deployment or rearchitect services as capacity scales.

WD’s Platform solutions highlighted will include the Ultrastar Data Series JBODs, OpenFlex® EBOF, and RapidFlex® NVMe-oF™ controller. These solutions help cloud, neo cloud and HPC companies accelerate adoption by optimizing capacity and performance, reducing costs, and improving time to value without requiring costly infrastructure designs. WD is also showcasing its new Ultrastar Data 3000 series JBODs, delivering the scalable capacity required for AI data growth. Using ArcticFlow™ multizone cooling and patented IsoVibe™ vibration isolation technologies, the Ultrastar Data 3000 series optimizes performance and reliability by reducing drive return rates by up to 62%1 in a platform designed for dependable operation at scale. The 3000 series also offers 12 ports of 24 Gb/s SAS‑4 host connectivity, enabling customers to stay ahead of bandwidth demands as capacity and workload intensities grow.

WD will also share tiered storage solutions, including architectures built on Ceph and others developed with IBM® Storage Scale and XTAO, that align performance and economics to each stage of the AI data lifecycle, increasing GPU efficiency while lowering cost at scale through tiered system-level architectures.

The globally recognized WD Color portfolio including WD Gold®, WD Red®, and WD Purple®, as well as the rebranded G-DRIVE® family of external storage solutions designed for content creators, will also be on display.

Together, these innovations position WD as a key foundational layer in AI infrastructure, enabling the persistence, movement, and scalability of data across environments.

“Computex is a great opportunity to connect with AI leaders and builders from around the world at a pivotal moment for the industry,” said Stefan Mandl, Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at WD. “AI is driving data growth at a scale and pace the industry has never seen before, and the organizations that recognize AI as a data system are the ones that will build AI that scales economically and efficiently over the long term. WD provides the durable, scalable and economically efficient data infrastructure foundation required to support AI systems over the long term.”
