Dell Technologies has updated its AI Data Platform to make unstructured enterprise data more accessible for generative AI applications. The enhancements focus on transforming the vast amounts of unusable enterprise data into actionable intelligence through improved indexing and vector retrieval.
Generative AI requires high-quality, accessible data, but according to Dell, most enterprise data remains unusable without continuous indexing and robust vector retrieval engines. The updated platform directly addresses the challenge through enhanced data preparation and access capabilities.
At the core of the update is a new “unstructured data engine” developed in collaboration with AI search company Elastic. This engine provides advanced vector search and semantic retrieval capabilities essential for generative AI applications that need to process and understand unstructured content.
“Enterprise data is massive, growing rapidly and increasingly unstructured, but only a fraction of it is usable for generative AI today,” Dell said in its announcement.
“To unlock its value, organizations need continuous indexing and a vector retrieval engine that converts content into embeddings for fast, precise semantic search.”
The company is also introducing the PowerEdge R7725 server with Nvidia RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, which Dell said delivers up to six times the token throughput for LLM inference compared to previous generations.
Arthur Lewis, president of the Dell Infrastructure Solutions Group, emphasized the importance of “breaking down silos and simplifying access to enterprise data” for AI development.
The platform updates include a validated reference architecture that combines storage, data, compute, networking and software components to accelerate AI development and deployment.
The unstructured data engine and the new PowerEdge servers with Nvidia GPUs are expected to be available later this year. Dell is demonstrating the technologies at the Siggraph 2025 computer graphics conference, currently underway in Vancouver.
