What to expect during the ‘Rethinking Private Cloud’ event: Join theCUBE on Sept. 23 Dell Technologies will join theCUBE analysts on Sept. 23 for the virtual event "Rethinking Private Cloud for the Age of Intelligence," examining how private cloud infrastructure supports enterprise AI workflows. theCUBE Research's Paul Nashawaty said "the private cloud is undergoing a strategic reset as enterprises move from AI experimentation to operational intelligence," and Dell's disaggregated cloud model can provide up to 65% in cost savings versus hyperconverged infrastructure, while Dell Private Cloud with PowerStore offers six-to-one data reduction. Dell launched its Private Cloud last year through the Dell Automation Platform, a software offering for deploying and operating disaggregated solutions with zero-touch onboarding and centralized management. What to expect during the ‘Rethinking Private Cloud’ event: Join theCUBE on Sept. 23 Private cloud is no longer a mere alternative to the public cloud; it is becoming private infrastructure https://thecuberesearch.com/vmware-explore-2026-wrap-up-private-cloud-becomes-the-operating-layer-for-enterprise-ai/ , a purpose-built architecture for enterprise AI. Evidence for this can be seen in how Dell Technologies Inc. is building private cloud solutions that can streamline workflows and accelerate time-to-value for AI. Dell launched https://www.dell.com/en-us/dt/corporate/newsroom/announcements/detailpage.press-releases~usa~2025~05~dell-technologies-transforms-data-center-operations-with-software-driven-disaggregated-infrastructure-innovations.htm /filter-on/Country:en-us its Private Cloud last year through the Dell Automation Platform https://siliconangle.com/2025/09/11/smarter-private-cloud-thecube-dellsmarterprivatecloud/ , a software offering designed to simplify how customers deploy and operate disaggregated solutions with secure, zero-touch onboarding and centralized management. Dell’s platform underscored an interest in building out AI offerings for on-premises deployment. Organizations are realizing that on-premises infrastructure can be more efficient for AI inference at scale, providing cost-effectiveness and operational flexibility. “The private cloud is undergoing a strategic reset as enterprises move from AI experimentation to operational intelligence,” said theCUBE Research’s Paul Nashawaty https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulnashawaty/ . “The next generation of private cloud matters. Enterprises need infrastructure that is open, automated and adaptable enough to support multiple application and AI environments without forcing teams into another silo. Dell’s move toward disaggregated infrastructure and automated private-cloud operations speaks directly to that need, making private cloud less about infrastructure ownership and more about creating an agile platform for the intelligent enterprise.” How modern data foundations and intelligent operations work together to deploy, manage and scale private cloud ecosystems on top of modular infrastructure will be part of the agenda for the “Rethinking Private Cloud for the Age of Intelligence” virtual event https://www.thecube.net/events/dell/rethinking-private-cloud-for-the-age-of-intelligence on Sept. 23. Join theCUBE analysts for an insightful discussion with Dell leaders and industry practitioners that will explore ways private cloud can provide a foundation for AI workflows without adding complexity, creating new silos or forcing disruptive refresh cycles. Disclosure below. Private cloud drives operational savings Adoption of memory-driven agentic AI is fueling interest in the economics of the private cloud. One example of this can be seen in advanced memory tiering https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000396257/enabling-nvme-memory-tiering-on-dell-poweredge-servers-using-vmware-vsphere-9-0 , which uses physical RAM DRAM with fast, lower-cost NVMe solid-state drives into a single logical memory pool to lower hardware costs. This could be a factor https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/01/agentic-ai-pushes-enterprises-rebuild-private-cloud-vmwareexplore/ in driving private cloud adoption, according to theCUBE’s Research analysts. A recent interview https://siliconangle.com/2026/05/22/disaggregated-infrastructure-modern-private-clouds-delltechworld/ on theCUBE with Dell executives also referenced the economics of a disaggregated cloud model that can provide up to 65% in cost savings versus hyperconverged infrastructure. Dell Private Cloud with PowerStore can offer six-to-one data reduction, on top of operational savings and freedom from HCI. Factors such as these offer further evidence that enterprises are looking closely at the economics of scale as AI deployment continues to expand. “Enterprises are reaching a tipping point with ad-hoc infrastructure stacks as AI workloads and shifting virtualization licensing fundamentally alter total cost of ownership models,” said theCUBE Research’s Dave Vellante https://www.linkedin.com/in/dvellante/ . “The market is moving away from tightly coupled, rigid bundles toward disaggregated, open architectures that allow compute and storage to scale independently. CIOs are no longer treating private cloud as a legacy holding area, but as a modular operational platform designed for predictable performance, data sovereignty and long-term cost control.” TheCUBE event coverage Don’t miss theCUBE’s interviews during the “Rethinking Private Cloud for the Age of Intelligence” virtual event https://www.thecube.net/events/dell/rethinking-private-cloud-for-the-age-of-intelligence on Sept. 23.
