At HCLTech, we see the edge as far more than just an extension of the data center and cloud; it’s the next strategic frontier where AI will deliver its most immediate and measurable value. But as enterprises begin to scale AI across hundreds or even thousands of geographically distributed sites, familiar complexities rapidly emerge: hardware sprawl, inconsistent management, latency challenges and an increasing need for strong security and continuous model lifecycle management.
Put simply, enabling AI at the edge can become as demanding as the business transformation it empowers.
Across manufacturing, energy, healthcare, retail and beyond, the need to analyze and act on data, where it is generated, has never been more critical. The real question is: How do you deploy AI everywhere securely, efficiently and without sending technicians from site to site?
This is exactly where the strength of our partnership with Dell Technologies is helping enterprises make the edge both truly intelligent and fully manageable.
Unlocking the intelligent edge
We are proud that HCLTech was recently named Dell Technologies' 2025 Global Alliances AI Partner of the Year. This recognition reflects our shared vision for delivering scalable, secure and high-performance edge ecosystems powered by full-stack innovation.
Our VisionX AI Edge platform enables real-time analytics and inferencing from video, sensors and industrial data sources. Designed for performance and efficiency, it brings organizations deeper operational visibility, proactive safety monitoring and predictive decision-making right at the edge.
Complementing VisionX, our EdgeLITy platform provides intelligent orchestration and lightweight computing that simplifies deployments across distributed environments. It ensures enterprises can run demanding AI workloads close to the point of data creation — minimizing latency while maximizing performance.
On the technology foundation, Dell NativeEdge delivers secure, scalable, zero-touch provisioning with orchestrated lifecycle management across edge environments. With Dell’s Automation Platform, enterprises benefit from consistent, repeatable, blueprint-driven rollouts — accelerating time to value while maintaining strong governance and security.
The architecture behind the advantage
Together, our integrated ecosystem establishes a powerful blueprint for scaling edge AI. Dell NativeEdge manages workloads on validated hardware, while VisionX inference containers run seamlessly alongside EdgeLITy’s orchestration layer. The result is predictable performance, simplified operations and near-real-time responsiveness at every edge node.
The latest enhancements to NativeEdge, including API-driven integrations, NVIDIA-accelerated inferencing capabilities and consumption flexibility, extend automation, transparency and scalability even further.
Telemetry, governance and model updates are intelligently automated, reducing operational risk and keeping deployments aligned with zero-trust principles. In a world where cybersecurity threats constantly evolve, this level of protection is essential from the core to the far edge.
The business impact
When reliability, speed and automation converge, business outcomes accelerate:
- Faster deployment of AI across distributed sites
- Lower operational costs through automation
- Stronger security and governance
- Optimized performance for mission-critical operations
Whether enhancing production efficiency, reducing energy waste or creating more engaging customer experiences, our joint solutions enable safer, smarter and more sustainable operations.
Realizing AI everywhere
With VisionX and EdgeLITy integrated seamlessly with Dell NativeEdge and the Automation Platform, enterprises will be able to operationalize AI at the edge with confidence, securely, at scale and with measurable business value.
At HCLTech, we are not just advancing the edge; we are shaping its future. Together with Dell Technologies, we are helping organizations unlock the true potential of AI everywhere.
