Customers often share with us just how essential Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become for their organizations as they push to innovate and stay competitive. But they’re also quick to share the significant challenges they face, like security concerns, complex AI implementations and a shortage of skilled talent. These hurdles don’t just slow progress, they leave many searching for simple solutions that deliver real, impactful results.
To help our customers overcome these challenges, we’ve collaborated with Cohere to create an advanced, AI-driven solution, integrated and deployed on Dell AI Factory infrastructure. Dell’s SVP, ISG CTIO Ihab Tarazi shared his thoughts on this groundbreaking collaboration, “We’re proud to be the first provider to bring Cohere North’s capabilities to organizations on-prem¹. By combining Cohere North’s advanced Agentic AI technology with Dell’s security hardened, scalable infrastructure, we’re setting a new standard. This is all about delivering a secure solution with intelligent insights, streamlined workflows, and robust control where the data lives.”
Cohere’s North platform provides an advanced framework that powers intelligent, autonomous workflows, combining AI agents with decision-making capabilities. Integrating this platform with Dell’s AI-optimized PowerEdge servers, and options for PowerScale storage and PowerSwitch networking results in a turn-key solution that allows enterprises to quickly empower their workforce with the latest AI innovations, maximizing their productivity. Utilizing this solution, enterprise professionals can seamlessly get insights from their on-premises and public cloud data sources without compromising speed or scalability.
“AI agents that can access extremely sensitive data on premises significantly increase the value they can bring to businesses. That’s why I’m excited to partner with Dell to bring our Cohere North platform directly to your data. With Dell’s leadership in private deployments, this collaboration enables regulated organizations to securely deploy AI agents at scale, unlocking massive productivity and efficiency gains.”
