Mike Ng
Nice. Thanks, all people, for becoming a member of the session. Welcome to the Dell Applied sciences keynote fireplace chat on the Goldman Sachs Communacopia and Know-how Convention. I’ve the privilege of introducing – introducing Jeff Clarke, who’s the Vice Chairman and Chief Working Officer at Dell. Jeff has been at Dell since 1997 and is answerable for operating the corporate’s day-to-day enterprise operations and setting long-term technique. My title is Mike Ng, and I cowl Dell and {hardware} right here at Goldman. We’ve about 35 minutes for in the present day’s dialogue.
So first, thanks a lot for being right here, Jeff. It is an actual pleasure to have you ever right here. So I’ve heard that final month, you celebrated your thirty seventh anniversary at Dell. So congratulations on that. And I believe consequently, you have had a entrance seat to a number of the greatest technological adjustments which have occurred, not solely on the firm but in addition within the business extra broadly. I used to be questioning in the event you might first simply discuss in regards to the technological shifts that we’re seeing in the present day, significantly because it pertains to AI and whether or not you assume that it is completely different, transformative relative to what we could have seen when it comes to technological shifts previously.
Jeff Clarke
Certain. Possibly only a fast context. If you concentrate on what’s occurred over the previous a few years, it took — take into consideration adoption charges, 50 years for all U.S. households to get electrical energy. It was roughly 30 years to get 90% adoption charge on the Web. It is roughly 35 years to get adoption of PCs to 90% in roughly 25 years for telephones to make it to 90%.
This one is absolutely completely different. I’ve not seen something transfer this quick. A knowledge level or at the very least for us, a yr in the past in Q2, basically 0% income. And in probably the most not too long ago reported Q2, 40% of our server and networking revenues have been AI revenues. This factor is shifting extremely quick. Within the final 12 months or 4 quarters, in the event you want, we have offered practically $9.5 billion of AI infrastructure, shipped $6.5 billion of AI infrastructure. It’s terribly quick.
And if you concentrate on it, I’ve made some daring predictions that by 2026, over half of information heart demand might be AI. We have a look at two orders of magnitude and computational depth progress over the rest of the last decade, so 27 quotas. [ph] You bought token progress at 151 occasions by way of the subsequent handful of years. We’ve not even talked about inference and inference might be 90% of the AI workload by the top of the last decade. There’s nothing that is moved this quick.
And I get requested why. And that is an inflection level, there is a basic change within the know-how stack. This notion of accelerated computing is changing a number of guide work and human work with computer systems. It is driving new ranges of productiveness that have not been seen since in all probability the commercial revolution. There’s not many items of 20% and 30% productiveness that I can consider is definitely in my working lifetime. And consequently, this can be a dialog each boardroom. It is going to change the premise and is altering the premise of competitors. And if you do not have a method right here, it is an existential menace. You can be out of enterprise. That is why that is completely different.
Mike Ng
That is nice. Are you able to discuss somewhat bit about how Dell performs into these AI infrastructure investments that we’re seeing throughout the business in the present day. Naturally, there’s been an amazing quantity of investments by hyperscalers, but in addition, I will name them Tier 2 cloud, AI, CSPs, enterprises and sovereigns. If we have been to consider these buyer segments or no matter phase you assume can be applicable to deal with, the place does Dell play finest?
Jeff Clarke
Properly, I believe the place Dell performs finest helps all of our clients, giant and small, giant cloud service suppliers, sovereign wealth funds, small companies, deploy AI at scale, serving to them develop a method, implement, in the end undertake and scale that. And the way in which we have communicated that broadly to {the marketplace} is thru AI factories, huge ones, small ones.
Clearly, after we discuss in regards to the largest alternatives the place there’s a appreciable quantity of consumption of infrastructure and the biggest CSPs which might be our clients. These are very bespoke designs, they’re very customized designs. And what we have been doing is absolutely driving differentiation in our provide.
It is past the server. It is easy to say I’ve a GPU, I put a GPU in a server, and I’ve one among this stuff. These are very advanced methods. And the place we’re distinguishing ourselves within the market in the present day and getting a premium for it’s the engineering. It is a technical pursuit. It isn’t a gross sales pursuit. It is a technical pursuit. It is an architectural pursuit. And we’re successful with whether or not it is density, whether or not it is energy, whether or not it is cooling, in the end rack integration after which the flexibility to deploy these racks at scale in very quick durations of time.
I believe if there’s something, these alternatives have actually helped us with is absolutely sharpen our edge that we’re a lot faster than we was once extra responsive than possibly you bear in mind, Dell being [ph] We’re unbelievable or responsive in these very giant customized designs, and we’re successful for it. So it is past the field, it is networking, it is storage. It is the companies that embody the answer that’s the reason we’re successful and that is very scalable to enterprise.
Mike Ng
That is nice. And simply on that time across the customization, the engineering worth add, what’s that actually pushed by? Is there some kind of hole in reference designs which might be on the market? Or are there particular workloads that your clients are looking for to deal with with AI infrastructure and Dell helps to perform, you recognize, the…
Jeff Clarke
The reference designs that exist are excellent beginning factors. However our clients need extra density. So whether or not that began at 64 GPUs in Iraq, now at 72. We have been the primary to place 72, the primary to 96. We’re engaged on designs which might be effectively past that. what was once an information heart tile, if you’ll, of 10 to fifteen kilowatts of energy now at 50 kilowatts of energy, 75 kilowatts of energy, now designing over 100 into subsequent yr at 200 and past that at 400 and past.
It is that engineering confidence that the reference designs permit us the latitude to design with as a foundation. You concentrate on what we have performed with whether or not it is our 6U in comparison with our opponents, 8U, they’re shifting to 6U. We’re shifting to a 4U. We’re getting extra IO slots in it, so we get higher efficiency. We get the GPUs in there. We’re capable of now put collectively a high-bandwidth material with low latency for the networking, that is the place we’re successful on the engineering aspect.
We began with air cooling. Others will discuss different types of cooling. You do not want it till you get to sure vitality densities. Sometimes, it is 1,000 watts the place you may have sufficient vitality density to fulfill direct liquid cooling. The flexibility to engineer that resolution at scale. That is what we’re doing. We — as a former engineer, they do not need to name myself engineer anymore. However as a former engineer the flexibility to distinguish and to assist these clients remedy their particular downside is immense. And it is why, once more, I believe we’re getting a premium within the market for it and successful.
Mike Ng
Sure. I need to ask about earnings, which simply occurred two weeks in the past for Dell. Dell posted 1 / 4 the place EBIT margins for the ISG phase have been capable of enhance practically 300 foundation factors sequentially AI server margins additionally grew. I used to be questioning in the event you might simply give a postmortem on that piece. What’s been driving the margin enlargement inside ISG? What’s driving the margin enlargement in AI servers?
Jeff Clarke
For us, it was a really strong quarter, as you talked about, however the highlights $25 billion income, 9% progress, EPS progress of 9% of $1.89. Free money move, $1.3 billion, gave again $1 billion of shareholder returns. And inside that, you had ISG develop at 38%. After which at 38%, you had definitely what we talked about AI being an enormous part of that. And it is nice to see, and we enhance margins. A part of it’s we’re promoting at a premium within the market and extracting extra worth than simply out of the field.
Once more, our means to promote the companies and deploy at scale, networking and the storage subsystems that go round these built-in rack options is incrementally permitting us to make higher margins than we did the earlier quarter.
On the storage aspect, it is a terrific story, at the very least from my seat. We offered extra Dell IP storage. So our PowerMax product, our PowerStore product within the mid-range, our energy scale, our file and object portfolio, our PowerProtect knowledge area product all grew in demand double digits, all expanded their margins. So you are taking our most worthwhile merchandise, they develop. They develop their margins in a very powerful area in North America. We do some higher managing discounting, and we discover new worth streams round knowledge charge discount, and you’ve got a recipe of why our storage margins expanded when storage margins do effectively, ISG does effectively.
After which the third part of the ISG enterprise is our server enterprise, which continued — or what we name the normal server enterprise, that continues to develop fairly properly, 5 consecutive quarters of sequential progress, three consecutive quarters of year-over-year progress. We bought issues occur over there in ISG.
Mike Ng
Yeah. And I do not need to understate the energy in storage as a result of two quarters in the past, storage was in a barely harder place extra third-party IP combine that was a little bit of a drag on margins. Possibly you possibly can discuss what modified in these few months?
Jeff Clarke
Properly, clearly, the challenges we had in Q1 you referenced accurately, is we had a mixture in direction of associate IP on the expense of Dell IP and that ratio change from Q1 to Q2, which clearly helped. Look, I believe have been a few issues that we’re navigating. One is a dynamic relationship with our associate IP, and particularly VMware and dealing by way of the adjustments in how the go-to-market goes to work.
There is not any query as we have navigated by way of that, it slowed the enterprise somewhat bit. However I might additionally inform you that I believe the true driver is trendy workloads are actually favoring Tier 3 architect to what we name a 3-tier structure for its efficiency, its scalability and effectivity, and we’re seeing that in these new trendy workloads take off.
So we’re optimistic. I believe in our steerage, we mirrored we predict our storage enterprise goes to develop within the second half of the yr, standing by it.
Mike Ng
Nice. That is nice. And also you talked in regards to the conventional server energy, proper? 5 consecutive quarters of quarter-on-quarter progress. It is nice to see in what nonetheless seems like a considerably cautious IT spending setting. Are we on the level the place you are able to name an inflection or conventional servers set to return to extra normalized progress from right here? And is there any disruption from the AI investments which might be taking place available in the market?
Jeff Clarke
It is a good query. I have been requested that each one day in the present day I am definitely not prepared to take a seat right here and say the markets recovered and it is again to the place it was pre this digestion interval. However I believe there are three indicators from what we see that assist talk the markets recovering.
The primary one can be after we give it some thought is we went by way of the longest digestion interval within the historical past of the server market eight quarters. Knowledge facilities are filled with older product. The older product stroll succesful and it was purchased on a relative foundation in the present day are very, very completely different in productiveness functionality. So you may have an getting old of the information heart that did not get refreshed for a 2-year cycle. That is by no means occurred. And we’re starting to see giant clients with giant bids start to refresh. And once more, not calling recovered, however recovering, and we discover that as a really encouraging sign.
The second part, which I believe is considerably associated, as clients are their AI plans or wishes, they’re rapidly coming to the conclusion I would like house and I would like energy. So we predict the consolidation is going on which you could consolidate older servers with newer servers and eat much less house and eat much less energy. And we predict that consolidation is, I believe, an important consideration with AI.
And here is why we predict there may be consolidation going. Our TRUs proceed to develop. They’re pushed by extra cores, extra DRAM and extra NAND per server offered. I gave three fast references earlier in the present day. I believe it possibly for the broader viewers, that may be useful.
Right this moment, a 16G server, which is what we ship in the present day versus what we’ve shipped 4 and 5 years in the past, has 3 occasions extra as many cores in it as that previous product. It is 25% to 35% extra energy environment friendly, and it may roughly substitute 3 to five previous servers with a brand new server. In order that house, that is energy that’s now obtainable for AI.
After which the third part that we predict is driving conventional server demand is the continued repatriation of workloads again to on-prem into on-prem non-public clouds. So it is that backdrop that we predict lends itself to the normal server market recovering and persevering with to do effectively.
Mike Ng
That is nice. And as a follow-up to that, there definitely is server demand due to rising in new workloads by way of repatriation of workloads from the cloud. How do you concentrate on this entire consolidation idea? One new server changing 3 to five previous ones? Are you detached to that as a result of the content material for the brand new server is that a lot increased. So from a income and profitability perspective…
Jeff Clarke
Sure, Mike, I believe the way in which at the very least we have a look at it’s the unit — the variety of models will not be what as soon as ever was, however the worth of the unit goes up significantly increased. When you have a look at our ASP progress over the previous handful of years, it is appreciable in servers, and it is all pushed by the three issues that I simply talked about, extra cores, some extra highly effective PCs and each — or extra highly effective microprocessors in each server, extra DRAM round it and extra storage. I am positive with that. That is — it is good enterprise. It is serving to our clients consolidate workloads, be extra environment friendly. It opens up extra storage alternatives and supplies the house and energy for what’s coming AI workloads to the enterprise.
Mike Ng
Yeah. And if I might shift again to AI servers for a second, Dell has clearly discovered an amazing quantity of momentum round AI CSPs, giant cloud corporations. Might you discuss somewhat bit about the place we’re in enterprise and likewise sovereign investments in AI infrastructure? I believe there is a little bit of a debate whether or not or not these clients will materialize in a strategy to continued progress within the phase to the extent that there is any slowdown amongst like AI CSPs or Tier 2 cloud?
Jeff Clarke
Yeah. I haven’t got the sentiment that it is not going to materialize in enterprise. In reality, simply the other. There is not any query AIs coming to the enterprise. One by way of all the information is, and knowledge may be very costly to maneuver. And in lots of instances, that’s proprietary is exclusive. It is a part of your corporation mannequin, your worth add, your secret sauce. It isn’t going to be transferred into different issues. So knowledge gravity is clearly driving AI over time to the enterprise.
And possibly one other method to take a look at it’s in the event you have a look at probably the most — the 5 foundational fashions, their present rev, they have been skilled on, you choose your quantity 30, 40, 50 terabytes of information. The Dell firm has lots of of petabytes of information that we’re not distinctive. Let’s simply say it is all value-added knowledge for the second.
What we’ll need to practice extra importantly, we’ll do positive tuning and run inference on our knowledge to make us serve our clients higher. And each buyer goes to undergo that very same kind of calculus. They will attempt to perceive what a part of their knowledge permits them to serve their clients higher, produce their services and products higher, serve their clients higher when it comes to companies or finish consumer companies. And that is what’s in entrance of us.
So after we discuss enterprise demand. I believe I made reference on the earnings name, the variety of enterprise clients grew from Q1 to Q2. It was greater than it was in This fall. The quantity of income {dollars} coming in, in Q2 from enterprise clients was larger than Q1, which was larger than This fall. And what we’re attempting to do with this 5-quarter pipeline remark that we make as a reference of the alternatives we see in entrance of us. And that, I believe I made reference to the variety of clients and that’s rising and the variety of income {dollars} is rising.
So persevering with to sign that we predict enterprises are shifting, nowhere close to as quick as these handful of shoppers shopping for giant clusters, and so they’re not going to deploy it as giant clusters. They will deploy it as a use module right here and a utilization mannequin right here and a use mannequin there. We’re seeing clients experiment. In some instances, experiment going to proof-of-concept and in lots of instances, going from proof-of-concept into manufacturing.
5 main use instances actually are driving what we see in enterprise. One is round cogeneration. Two is round brokers and gross sales help. Three is round content material creation, content material automation. 4 is round customer support and the fifth is round provide chain. These use instances are pretty common throughout most corporations, and it is the place we see AI being deployed in time and the place knowledge is. That was a number of. So I hope that was useful.
Mike Ng
Sure, it was useful. I adore it. And when it comes to enterprise curiosity, are there any business verticals which might be extra front-footed and making these AI infrastructure investments than others?
Jeff Clarke
So if we have a look at clients and enterprise, there is a subset of this neighborhood that may be very aggressive in pursuing AI the quant merchants. Properly, I really like these items. All proper. Each second issues, proper, each millisecond or nanosecond matter. So I take into consideration what’s taking place in Nationwide labs and deployment in Nationwide labs fixing important science issues. I believe a pharmaceutical. I consider what’s taking place in well being care, whether or not that is radiology movie and decoding that or again to prescription drugs, proteins and breaking down proteins to assist remedy new drug alternatives or well being care alternatives. Industrials, manufacturing, clearly are clients shopping for in the present day after which oil and gasoline. After which the establishments of upper studying universities throughout the globe.
So a reasonably good smattering, one greater than the opposite, however all shifting in that proof of idea and discovering use instances the place they will deploy AI gear. And once more, for us, it is not the field. These are very difficult methods to construct and we use the phrase methods of serving to them with the community material, the storage subsystem and the encompassing companies to assist them deploy. We use a reference of L11 to L13, which is basically rack-scale integration testing in our services, transportation to our buyer web site, out of the truck, check it, roll it in, set up it after which service it. That is we predict very repeatable throughout the enterprise and to the small corporations.
Mike Ng
Sure. And on that set up servicing upkeep piece, might you discuss how essential companies could be for an AI system or an AI server set up and distinction that with conventional. Is there a notable distinction?
Jeff Clarke
Sure. Possibly I will provide you with an actual life instance. So we simply launched this notion of an built-in rack scale system. And in that, let’s take — we talked about 96 GPUs per rack and also you deploy that and let’s take a hypothetical 50,000 GPU cluster. It is 52 megawatts, 6,144 nodes, 4,000 switches, 150,000 community connections, 200,000 opticals, a few hundred miles of community cable, a mile and a half of water pipe, 30 miles or so of rubber hose and different varieties of dissipation of energy and somebody’s going to look that up. It is form of arduous.
Mike Ng
I will take your phrase on that.
Jeff Clarke
And so the rationale I say this as a result of you possibly can’t do one a part of it or in the event you do, you want a number of assist. And what we have been doing is constructing our capabilities to have the ability to deploy, whether or not that could be a 500 GPU cluster or a 50,000 GPU cluster, every part in between the technical abilities to do it. In reality, the pursuits themselves are very technical engineering-oriented I am concerned in all of these. It is enjoyable once more. It is actually cool speaking to clients about structure, workload, design after which constructing it for them. And once more, I believe that is very relevant to what we’ll see within the enterprise, serving to it and our job is to construct AI factories which might be simple to deploy to make AI simple for our clients.
Mike Ng
That is nice. I need to return to one thing that you just talked about earlier after we have been speaking about enterprise investments, which was storage, knowledge gravity, the price to maneuver knowledge. And I used to be questioning in the event you might simply discuss whether or not there may be some kind of distinction in storage resolution required for AI workloads and AI infrastructure relative to conventional enterprise storage and whether or not Dell has to do something from a brand new product innovation perspective to…
Jeff Clarke
Certain.
Mike Ng
…accommodate that want.
Jeff Clarke
So in the event you have a look at the attributes of what is taking place, what we’ll loosely outline as trendy workload particular instance being AI.
Mike Ng
Certain.
Jeff Clarke
These trendy workloads, AI are very demanding. And sometimes, our naked metallic deployments are sometimes container-based and or multi-hypervisor base. So if you concentrate on it, these are the necessities. After which inside that, there’s necessities, efficiency is a given. It is simply — these should be high-performance storage subsystems. They need flexibility. They need scalability. They need effectivity and in the end need to have the ability to drive value.
And after we have a look at that, for us, we consider that maps to our 3-tier structure. And the rationale for that’s as a result of you possibly can independently scale compute, networking and storage, the place an alternate structure like HCI actually nice for ease of use and ease of scale, however you possibly can’t independently scale networking, compute and storage, all of them scale collectively. In different phrases, in the event you want extra storage, it’s a must to purchase extra compute. When you want extra compute, it’s a must to purchase extra storage and so forth. That is not the case with the unbiased nature of 3-tier structure.
Then particularly, what’s taking place is it is file and object. Most of what is occurring or what’s being skilled or what we see being skilled sooner or later and in the end run inference on is file and object, scale-out file and object subsystems like our PowerScale product. The opposite one in these very high-performance foundational mannequin coaching is round parallel file methods, which is why in Could, we made an announcement of Mission Lightning that we’re creating our personal grounds up AI-based parallel file system, many who exist in the present day got here from out of the realm of HPC. I perceive why that is the case, and so they’re fixing a substantial a part of the issue. We predict the flexibility to design that with low latency persistent reminiscence, the flexibility to convey excessive throughput of their finish and have many concurrent customers to actually cope with the transient finish use that’s performed with in parallel fill methods is a bonus we’ll convey to the desk. So we’re creating that. After which our file and object portfolio may be very sturdy, and that is serving to us win within the space for storing inside AI. Does that assist?
Mike Ng
That is extremely useful. Sure. Thanks for that. I might like to maneuver on to the Consumer Options Group a part of Dell’s enterprise. As we transfer in direction of the top of 2024, the place, I assume, 3 years from peak PC shipments, which was on the finish of — or 2021, I assume the place are we on the PC refresh at this stage? What’s gone higher than anticipated? What could have fallen somewhat quick relative to what we could have thought firstly of the yr?
Jeff Clarke
Properly, firstly of the yr, I assumed we might be speaking a couple of PC refresh. And in the present day, it is — we’re struggling to even use the phrase refresh. It hasn’t occurred and I do not see it taking place within the subsequent weeks. I believe it is pushing. Clearly, we mirrored on our steerage that it is pushing into the top of the yr and into subsequent yr.
I stay very bullish in regards to the alternatives round a PC refresh. You would possibly ask why. Properly, to start with, the put in base is previous. It is by no means been older. It is giant and previous. The primary COVID methods are 4 years and 5 months previous now. And so they have been all notebooks as a result of we despatched all people residence and needed to be cellular and the common pocket book is a 3 to three.5-year alternative cycle or 4 plus. So they are not designed to work for plus. So you may have this getting old part, it is extra notebooks and it has to maneuver.
The second factor is you may have this forcing perform known as Home windows 10 within the life.
Mike Ng
Yeah.
Jeff Clarke
That is not shifting. October ’25, Home windows 10 now not, and we’re another quarter nearer to it. So you may have this wave that is mounting, if you’ll, so to talk, that has to transition. Historical past tells us the extra you possibly can press in opposition to the Home windows retirement, the extra that rebound occurs nearly instantaneously as a result of it’s a must to clear to maneuver out these methods.
I learn some analysis the opposite day that mentioned 61% of all Home windows licenses in North America are nonetheless Home windows 10. That is significantly extra on the identical cut-off date, 14 months forward of the Home windows 7 within the life, which tells you it is pushing proper, but it surely’s additionally mounting.
After which the third part, once more, is a former PC designer. I imply there’s some cool stuff coming. We’ll be NPUs in all of this stuff. We’ll see an application-based develop right here in brief order that’s underway in creating that the best general-purpose system productiveness system on the planet, the PC is simply going to get higher. They’re all going to have succesful NPUs in them. After I’m sitting right here doing one thing you possibly can’t do, you are going to go what you may have and go mine has an MPU and it your would not, you are going to need what I’ve.
And from a historic perspective within the PC, {hardware} has all the time led software program. So it is not unusual for us to have {hardware} functionality within the product earlier than the softer wave occurs. And I believe that is what we’re arrange for right here with a purpose-built accelerator and MPU in each PC. Once more, I have been daring, I mentioned by the top of the last decade, I believe the put in base flips over and every part goes to be an AI PC. We have somewhat work to do between now and the top of the last decade, however I am enthusiastic about it.
Properly, there is a coiled spring of PC demand with October 2025, effectively, proper? So – effectively, there’s bulletins final week by Intel of the next-generation processor coming with a extra succesful NPU. So it is persevering with.
Mike Ng
Nice. Simply whereas we’re on the subject of PCs, Dell has main ASPs throughout the business if the third-party business market analysis is to be believed. What’s driving that relative to the broader business? Is it the premium shopper combine? Is it the business combine perform of each?
Jeff Clarke
Properly, I believe it is somewhat little bit of each. So the way in which we have a look at it, our ASPs are roughly twice the business common. Trade is 600 and alter and you are able to do our math, it is 1,200 and alter. So roughly 2x. What drives that? Clearly, a larger combine to business. Our commercial-to-consumer combine is 85-15 [ph] considerably increased than the remainder of the business.
On the whole, the way in which we promote with our direct gross sales pressure, we promote the next combine. So generally, our CPU is a extra succesful CPU, increased decision display screen, extra DRAM, extra storage than the common PC driving that increased or that delta between the 2. I believe our direct mannequin of driving connect docs, shows, companies drives a differentiated margin in a differentiated ASP.
So that chance round enterprise mannequin, combine, promoting approach and a dedication to drive the issues across the field is essential to us. And it is why you have in all probability seen not too long ago, we have talked about in varieties like this, extending that PC attain to extra peripherals. There is a $200 alternative round each unit for audio system, keyboard, mice, cameras, internet cams, et cetera, we’re attempting to faucet into that more and more extra so as a result of it drives larger worth.
Mike Ng
That is nice. Within the final couple of minutes right here, possibly I will ask you to make a couple of closing remarks on the place you see Dell heading over the subsequent few years. Are there any particular themes or elements that you really want buyers to maintain on high of their thoughts.
Jeff Clarke
Properly, once more, I believe if – I might just like the viewers to depart, look, we’re disciplined operators. We’re dedicated to constant income progress, constant revenue progress. We run the corporate on free money move era, and we made a dedication of capital distribution again to our shareholders. We’ve a long-term worth framework that we consider we will function inside. And we’re dedicated to that. Once more, we’re disciplined operators.
I believe what’s misplaced generally is the truth that we will not apply what we do to different sectors. And I believe AI is definitely demonstrating that the Dell disciplined mannequin, the operators that we’re — we consider we’re can completely apply to new progress classes. And it is — and never solely is it this — you could consider as Dell being now 40 years previous and possibly gradual, in no way. We’re architecting important GPU cluster design in handfuls of weeks and responding to clients in days and successful and successful with superior design, superior companies, I take into consideration the 4 issues that make us particular is our giant go-to-market presence, our provide chain, our R&D and innovation engine and our companies. And we will apply that to broader classes, AI be an instance. We’re having success in 5G telco. The Edge is one other alternative for us, and we’ll proceed to do this. That is what we do.
Mike Ng
Jeff, that is a good way to cap off the session. Thanks a lot.
Jeff Clarke
My pleasure.
Mike Ng
A privilege to have you ever on stage. That was superior.
Jeff Clarke
You are welcome.
Query-and-Reply Session
Finish of Q&A
