Texas A&M Selects Dell for New AI Computing Platform IGNITE
Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station has partnered with Dell Technologies to create the IGNITE AI computing platform. This initiative is crucial for advancing engineering research and national security through a shared infrastructure designed for diverse security workloads.

Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station has contracted Dell Technologies to develop the IGNITE AI and high-performance computing platform, funded by the State of Texas. The platform will utilize PowerRack systems featuring liquid-cooled PowerEdge XE9785L servers and AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs, hosted in an Equinix data center in Dallas.
IGNITE's shared infrastructure allows secure access for researchers and students, scaling with research demands. This agreement, signed in Q2 of fiscal year 2027, aims to enhance Texas A&M's competitiveness for federal research programs while broadening access to academic and industrial research. Current Dell solutions already support other Texas A&M HPC systems.
