Dell Project Helix is a Dell and NVIDIA joint initiative designed to make it easier for enterprises to build and use generative AI models. The companies will provide infrastructure and software with built-in data security for on-premises generative AI applications to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and more.
Project Helix will deliver full-stack solutions with technical expertise and pre-built tools based on Dell and NVIDIA infrastructure and software. It includes a complete blueprint to help enterprises use their proprietary data and more quickly deploy generative AI responsibly and accurately.
Project Helix simplifies enterprise generative AI deployments with a tested combination of optimized Dell hardware and software. This delivers the power to convert enterprise data into more innovative, higher-value outcomes while maintaining data privacy. Companies can quickly deploy customized AI applications that drive trusted decisions from their own data to grow and scale their businesses.
Blueprint for On-Premises Generative AI
Dell Project Helix will support the complete generative AI lifecycle, from infrastructure provisioning, modeling, training, fine-tuning, application development, and deployment, to deploying inference and streamlining results. The validated designs allow enterprises to build on-premises generative AI infrastructure at scale.
Dell PowerEdge servers, such as the PowerEdge XE9680 and PowerEdge R760xa, are optimized to deliver performance for generative AI training and AI inferencing. The combination of Dell servers with NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and NVIDIA Networking form the infrastructure backbone for these workloads. Customers can pair this infrastructure with resilient and scalable unstructured data storage, including Dell PowerScale and Dell ECS Enterprise Object Storage.
With all Dell Validated Designs, customers can use the enterprise features of Dell server and storage software, with observability through Dell CloudIQ software. Project Helix also includes NVIDIA AI Enterprise software to provide tools for customers as they move through the AI lifecycle. NVIDIA AI Enterprise includes more than 100 frameworks, pre-trained models, and development tools, such as the NVIDIA NeMo large language model framework and NeMo Guardrails software for building topical, safe, and secure generative AI chatbots.
Project Helix includes security and privacy built into foundational components, such as Secured Component Verification. Protecting data on-premises reduces inherent risk and helps companies meet regulatory requirements.
Availability
Dell Validated Designs based on the Project Helix initiative will be available through traditional channels and APEX flexible consumption options beginning in July 2023.
