Why enterprise AI adoption fails

GenAI today is like enterprise software before SAP — fragmented tools, manual integration and mounting technical debt. Different AI hardware, drivers, inference engines, gateways, guardrails, observability and virtualization systems, each chosen separately and integrated by hand.

Bud does for enterprise AI what SAP did for enterprise software: brings everything GenAI into one unified platform. Combined with Dell infrastructure, that becomes a complete end-to-end stack rather than a parts list.

The partnership

Infrastructure by Dell. Intelligence by Bud.

For enterprises, governments and cloud service providers.

Dell brings infrastructure that is simplified, tailored and trusted — ready to deploy across the Dell ecosystem.

Dell AI Factory

The reference stack for enterprise AI infrastructure.

Dell Automation Platform

Provisioning and lifecycle automation across the fleet.

OpenManage Enterprise

Unified systems management and monitoring.

NativeEdge

Edge operations software for distributed deployments.

The platform

Eight layers, one operating layer.

Train, deploy, evaluate, build and consume — on a single stack rather than eight integrations.

Agent

A continuously-learning assistant that augments employees and can create agents on demand.

AI Foundry

One stack for multimodal inference, scaling, middleware, observability, evaluations, guardrails and governance.

Model Foundry

Private model training with low compute, memory, network and bandwidth requirements.

FCSP

GPU virtualization with MIG-level isolation, enabling 2× utilisation.

Pod

Private GPU-as-a-service and serverless GPU for researchers and teams.

Studio

An integrated studio for every enterprise user to consume models and build their own agents.

MCP Foundry

Seamless access to enterprise tools, workflows and data for agentic AI.

SENTRY

Zero-trust security, governance and compliance across GenAI and agentic infrastructure.

Why Bud AI Foundry

Eight reasons teams consolidate.

AI success without scarce AI talentThe platform abstracts technical complexity, so teams deliver outcomes without depending on scarce specialists.
Low barrier to entryStart on existing CPU infrastructure to validate use cases, then scale to GPUs only where they earn their place.
No more fragmentationOne unified stack replaces the compliance risk, governance gaps and cost leakage of an assembled one.
The cost advantageAutomated optimization, caching and compression maximise every dollar of infrastructure.
Faster go-to-marketOne platform supporting both private and cloud models through a unified interface.
Continuously learning AIInference-time learning adapts models without costly retraining cycles.
Enterprise-grade securityBud SENTRY provides zero-trust AI security with built-in compliance and auditability for regulated environments.
For consumers, not just buildersDesigned for securely consuming and operationalising AI, not only for building it.
Technology

Where the numbers come from.

Performance advantage

~3× better performance on NVIDIA GPUs and ~1.5× on other hardware.

Inference stability

Up to 43% lower error rates than vLLM, TEI and Infinity in production workloads.

Cold start

12× faster cold starts for on-demand scaling and serverless deployments.

Fastest AI gateway

Sub-1ms latency for enterprise-grade inference.

Prompt & token optimisation

Up to 56% token savings through prompt and runtime optimization.

Guardrails on CPUs

100× better performance than A100 GPUs at the same accuracy, on commodity CPUs.

Scalability

GPU-optimized heterogeneous scaling with request-aware bin packing.

Model customization

Personalise models continuously on CPUs, with no fine-tuning step.

Natural language to agent

Create production-ready agents from a prompt, with no orchestration work.

Impact

Three deployments, measured.

Hex1 — India’s first commercially usable open-source Indic LLM

Pioneered with partner silicon, achieving faster training for India’s first commercially usable Indic model family.

Ralph Lauren — personalized stylist agent

Same accuracy, better performance, better TCO and 6.5× faster time-to-market against the prior frontier stack.

Infosys — information retrieval agent

An OpenAI GPT-based agent compared against a Bud domain-tuned deployment on the same task.

Each figure reflects a specific measured deployment. Your results depend on workload, hardware and configuration.

Built for sovereign and private AI

Three things public cloud cannot give you.

As enterprises and governments move from experimentation to production, the limits of public and shared infrastructure start to bind.

Data sovereignty by design

Sensitive data stays on-premises or private, meeting residency, compliance and governance requirements.

Full control across the lifecycle

Govern models, training, deployment, scaling and access on Dell infrastructure you operate.

Predictable cost and performance

Private AI gives predictable economics at scale, with efficient training and inference underneath.

Three audiences

The same platform, configured differently.

Enterprises

  • Centralized access control, usage tracking, rate limits and policy-driven governance
  • CPU-first and heterogeneous optimization for cost efficiency
  • Pre-integrated agents, tools and 1000+ MCPs
  • Start on existing CPUs, scale to GPUs or hybrid as volume grows

Cloud service providers

  • An end-to-end foundry for the CSP and its customers, beyond bare metal
  • More tokens per dollar across CPUs and GPUs, with idle capacity eliminated
  • 1.9K prebuilt agents portable to SLMs or LLMs
  • White-glove services: training at scale, guaranteed SLOs, hardware sizing, L2 support

Government & public sector

  • GenAI deployed fully within national infrastructure
  • Indic-optimized models for citizen-facing, inclusive use cases
  • On-premises or fully air-gapped operation
  • Pre-integrated tools and MCPs so departments can move quickly
