How to Build Enterprise AI Without Vendor Lock-In

Dell, Wednesday, August 19th, 2026

Dell argues its AI Data Platform's open partner ecosystem lets enterprises assemble best-of-breed AI stacks without lock-in.

Dell argues that its AI Data Platform's open partner ecosystem, spanning NVIDIA, Elastic, Starburst and others, lets enterprises assemble best-of-breed AI infrastructure without vendor lock-in or fragmented data pipelines.

The Dell Data Orchestration Engine and its built-in Marketplace bring third-party AI applications directly to a customer's data and pipelines, which Dell says eliminates the integration tax that stalls enterprise AI adoption.

The Dell Data Search Engine, powered by Elastic and accelerated by NVIDIA cuVS, delivers hybrid vector and full-text search with 12 times faster indexing and 2 to 5 times faster queries for RAG and agentic AI. Four purpose-built engines give a unified, governed foundation for moving AI from proof of concept to production.
