Enterprise AI is moving from pilot to production.

Many production workloads are settling outside the public cloud. Sovereignty now shapes where AI lives. Owning the platform gives you control of cost, data, and pace. Softcat designs the route: infrastructure built to take AI from pilot to production, owned and run by you.

What is an AI factory?

Dell positions the AI Factory as modular AI infrastructure that scales from a single node to full production. You start small, prove the use case, and grow by adding modules. Early investment keeps its value as you scale.

AI Factory customers worldwide are running knowledge assistants, computer vision, agentic AI platforms, and code assistants.

From deskside to data centre

AI capability spans the desk and the data centre. At one end, AI PCs carry dedicated processing for on-device work.

At the other, GPU servers handle training and inference at scale. One architecture connects your workspace and your infrastructure, so investment at either end compounds.

The AI Factory with Softcat and Oakland

Dell builds the factory, and Softcat and Oakland makes it yours. Our specialists help you find the use case, size the environment, and choose where each workload runs.

Many customers prove value in a cloud-like environment, then move on-premises when economics and governance demand it. We deliver and support the whole journey.
