“Our street is alive with your energy, and yes – your creativity and your data,” he declared, “whether you’re developing cancer treatments, or growing a business, data is at the center of everything, everywhere, all of the time.”

This included the company’s “AI Factory” platform, which saw its second generation unveiled as part of a long-standing partnership with Nvidia.

Dell noted how over 75% of enterprise data will soon be created and processed at the edge – “and AI will follow the data – not the other way around.”

“The future of AI will be decentralized, low-latency and hyper-efficiency – and that’s why Dell is pioneering the edge AI revolution, bringing real-time intelligence to wherever the data lives.”

“Here at Dell, we love data,” he added, “we store it, we protect it, we organize it, and we transform it into actions and insights that drive human progress – and turbocharged by AI, that engine of progress is going faster than ever before,” he added.

“The pace of innovation is at Mach 3 – we’re creating the future.”
