Dell Technologies has expanded its Dell AI Factory with Nvidia product portfolio, adding a Vera CPU server and rack, and a rack-scale inference system built on Groq 3 Language Processing Units (LPUs), to its hardware lineup.

In a statement, Dell said its AI Factory platform has surpassed 6,500 customers, up from 5,000 in the previous quarter.

The Dell PowerEdge M9882 comprises 256 Nvidia Vera CPUs in a single 48U rack, allowing companies to maximize data center power and cooling capacity by separating out CPU compute from GPU clusters. Dell said the rack has been purpose-built to support agentic AI workloads, and offers orchestration, tool use, code execution and evaluation, which can run alongside GPU infrastructure for model inference.

Meanwhile, the Dell PowerEdge R8822 server is an air-cooled, two-socket Nvidia Vera CPU offering that fits into standard 19-inch rack environments. Like its rack-scale counterpart, the R8822 has also been optimized for agentic AI workloads and can run reinforcement learning, data processing, and analytics, with support for up to four double-wide GPUs to accelerate AI and compute-intensive tasks.

Finally, Dell has launched the PowerEdge XE9810, the first offering from the company to feature Groq 3 LPUs. Featuring 16 direct-liquid-cooled compute trays, Dell did not provide details on the number of LPUs per tray, but said that the server functions as “an ideal disaggregated complement to existing GPU clusters,” purpose-built for the high-throughput demands of production agentic AI.

“Enterprises used to think about AI infrastructure as an IT budget question, but that's changed,” said Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies. “AI infrastructure is no longer a cost center. It's a value creation center. Companies are expanding and reallocating budgets because AI infrastructure drives growth, productivity and competitive advantage. Together with Nvidia, we are giving enterprises the integrated platforms they need to move agentic AI from experimentation to results, on infrastructure they own and control.”

The Dell PowerEdge R8822 will be available this month, with the M9882 and XE9810 coming in Q1 2027.
