In a strategic partnership, Dell Technologies is teaming up with Meta to facilitate the deployment of Meta’s Llama 2 models on Dell’s generative AI (GenAI) IT infrastructure. This collaboration is aimed at simplifying the implementation of generative AI solutions for Dell customers, enabling them to harness the power of large language models in on-premises environments.
Chris Kelly, Senior Vice President of Data Center Sales for Asia Pacific and Japan at Dell Technologies, highlighted the growing demand for on-premises generative AI deployments. He emphasized the significance of data privacy, IP security, and data gravity, which have become critical considerations for organizations. The integration of Meta’s Llama 2 models into Dell’s GenAI portfolio is expected to expedite digital transformation efforts and enhance customer engagement while leveraging valuable insights.
Srinivaschary T, Lead Solution Architect at Dell Technologies India, expressed Dell’s commitment to advancing IT infrastructure through Large Language Models (LLMs). The focus on on-premises solutions aligns with the need to streamline controls related to personal and confidential data, regulation, and intellectual property rights. The collaboration with Meta is designed to simplify the on-premises AI environment, making Generative AI deployments more accessible across various locations.
The partnership streamlines the deployment of generative AI solutions by combining Dell’s widely recognized infrastructure portfolio with the Llama 2 family of AI models from Meta. Customers can now accelerate their GenAI initiatives within traditional data centers or at edge locations. Dell has incorporated Meta’s Llama 2 models into its system sizing tools, providing guidance to customers seeking the right solutions for their Llama 2-based AI projects.
The “Dell Validated Design for Generative AI with Meta’s Llama 2” offers a comprehensive solution that includes pre-tested Dell infrastructure, software, and services to simplify on-premises deployment and management. With well-documented deployment and configuration guidance, organizations can swiftly establish their GenAI infrastructure and operate Llama 2 models with greater predictability.
By combining Meta’s Llama 2 models with Dell’s extensive Generative AI Solutions technology and services portfolio, organizations of all sizes gain access to more reliable tools for delivering GenAI solutions. Whether in core data centers, edge locations, public clouds, or desktop environments, this collaboration empowers businesses to harness the potential of generative AI.
