theCUBE to cover Dell’s AI Leadership Symposium Sept. 29

Dell has been making its case that putting AI into production requires more than models and GPUs. The article describes the company’s AI Factory strategy, private cloud portfolio and AI Data Platform as pieces of a broader pitch: that compute, storage, networking and data must be connected through software and governance layers for AI to produce business results. Dave Vellante of theCUBE Research framed the shift around economics, control and AI sovereignty, while Dell’s Arthur Lewis said the company has moved from technology that lets customers be AI-first to technology that lets them be AI-native. John Roese added that the data layer is not magic and must actually be built.

TheCUBE’s Sept. 29 coverage will bring Dell together with outside voices from Deepgram, MisaLabs, Sycamore, Singulr AI and Intel, suggesting the conversation will span infrastructure, data and agentic systems rather than a single product line. The article notes that theCUBE is a paid media partner for the event, and that neither Dell nor other sponsors have editorial control over theCUBE or SiliconANGLE.

The stakes appear to hinge on whether enterprises can assemble these pieces without creating another layer of fragmented infrastructure. For infrastructure and IT operations teams, the practical test is likely to be how clearly the discussions translate into decisions about where AI workloads run, how data is accessed, and how much control organizations retain over increasingly autonomous systems.
