Dell Technologies has unveiled a major expansion of its AI-focused infrastructure portfolio as the company looks to strengthen its position in the rapidly growing enterprise AI and modern data centre market.
The announcements were made at Dell Technologies World 2026 in Las Vegas, where the company introduced new storage systems, AI servers, cyber resilience tools and automation software designed to support enterprises handling growing artificial intelligence workloads.
Dell said organisations are increasingly facing pressure to modernise existing infrastructure as generative AI and agentic AI applications become more deeply integrated into business operations. The company stated that enterprises are now seeking infrastructure capable of balancing traditional workloads alongside large-scale AI deployment.
Among the key announcements was the launch of Dell PowerStore Elite, a next-generation storage platform that the company said offers significantly improved performance, throughput and automation capabilities compared to previous systems. Dell added that AI-driven management features within the platform are designed to reduce manual operational workloads for enterprise IT teams.
The company also expanded its Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA ecosystem, introducing new systems intended to support AI deployment across desktops, edge environments and large-scale data centres. Dell executives said the initiative is aimed at simplifying AI adoption for enterprises while improving security, governance and operational efficiency.
A major focus of the announcements was hybrid AI infrastructure. Dell executives said enterprises are increasingly shifting toward environments where AI workloads operate across on-premise infrastructure, edge computing systems and public cloud platforms simultaneously.
According to company executives, rising cloud costs, concerns around data sovereignty and increasing demand for secure AI environments are influencing enterprise decisions around infrastructure deployment. Dell said many businesses are now seeking greater control over where sensitive AI workloads are processed and managed.
The company introduced a new Deskside Agentic AI platform that allows enterprises to build, test and run AI agents locally without depending entirely on public cloud infrastructure. Dell said the system is intended for sectors handling sensitive or regulated information, including healthcare, financial services, research and government operations.
Executives at the event also highlighted the growing role of autonomous AI systems capable of reasoning, workflow execution and operational decision-making. Dell leaders said enterprise AI adoption is moving beyond experimental use cases toward production-level implementation across departments and workflows.
The latest announcements come amid increasing competition among infrastructure providers seeking a larger share of the enterprise AI market. Dell has expanded collaborations with NVIDIA and other technology partners as demand rises for AI-ready servers, storage systems and integrated computing environments.
Industry analysts have noted that enterprises are increasingly prioritising integrated AI ecosystems instead of standalone hardware deployments. Cyber resilience, automation and scalable infrastructure have also become larger priorities as organisations manage growing volumes of enterprise data generated through AI systems.
Dell said more than 5,000 customers globally are currently using Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA offerings. The company added that enterprise demand for AI infrastructure continues to increase as businesses transition from pilot programmes to full-scale AI implementation.
The announcements also reflect broader shifts in enterprise technology spending, with companies investing heavily in infrastructure capable of supporting long-term AI adoption. Dell executives said hybrid and on-premise AI environments are expected to remain central to enterprise strategies as businesses seek improved security, governance and operational control while scaling artificial intelligence capabilities.
