Dell AI Data Platform Delivers Breakthrough Storage Density
Dell, Wednesday, August 12th, 2026
Dell AI Data Platform adds the first object storage supporting 245.76TB SSDs, hitting 9.83PB raw in 2U.
Dell announced that its AI Data Platform introduces what it describes as the world's first object storage to support 245.76TB SSDs, delivering 9.83PB of raw capacity in just 2U.
The company frames the launch around AI reshaping infrastructure requirements across every industry. As organisations collect more data for training, fine-tuning, inference, governance and long-term retention, storage has become a critical enabler of AI success.
Dell argues it is no longer enough simply to scale capacity. The density improvement addresses footprint, power and cooling constraints in AI-era data environments.
