OpenAI + Dell Technologies Partnership

Enterprise deployment of Codex in hybrid and on-premises environments

Announced: May 18, 2026 | Updated: May 22, 2026

🀝 Enterprise Partnership Announcement

OpenAI and Dell Technologies are collaborating to help enterprises deploy Codex in the environments where their most important data, systems, and workflows already liveβ€”hybrid and on-premises infrastructure using Dell AI Data Platform and Dell AI Factory.

πŸ“Š Why This Matters

4M+
Developers use Codex every week
Fastest-Growing
One of OpenAI's fastest-growing enterprise products
Beyond Coding
Expanding to business workflows and knowledge work

πŸ“Œ What This Partnership Does

Dell AI Data Platform Integration

Codex will connect with the Dell AI Data Platform, which businesses already use to store, organize, and govern enterprise data on-premises. This brings Codex closer to the internal context that makes agents useful:

  • β†’ Codebases and documentation
  • β†’ Business systems and operational knowledge
  • β†’ Team workflows and processes

Dell AI Factory Integration

Dell and OpenAI will explore how Codex can connect with the Dell AI Factory, which businesses use to power their AI workloads. This includes:

  • β†’ Preparing data for AI applications
  • β†’ Managing systems of record
  • β†’ Running tests and deploying AI applications
  • β†’ Integration with hybrid or on-premises Dell infrastructure

Expanding Beyond Coding

Teams are beginning to use Codex-powered agents for business workflows beyond software development:

πŸ“ Content & Reports
  • β†’ Gather context across tools
  • β†’ Prepare reports
  • β†’ Route product feedback
πŸ’Ό Business Operations
  • β†’ Qualify leads
  • β†’ Write follow-ups
  • β†’ Coordinate work across business systems

βœ… Benefits for Enterprises

2

Enterprise-Grade Security

Governed enterprise data stays within Dell environmentsβ€”no need to move sensitive data to external APIs

3

Flexible Deployment

Support for hybrid and on-premises infrastructure where enterprise data already lives

4

More Context for Agents

Build, test, automate, analyze, and act with more of the context required for production work

5

Repeatable Systems

Turn AI agents into repeatable systems for real work across software development and knowledge work

"

Collaborating with OpenAI brings together Dell's industry-leading enterprise grade infrastructure with cutting edge agentic AI harnesses and models from OpenAI. The Dell AI Factory with OpenAI Codex will allow enterprises to deploy AI where enterprise data already lives, within their premises, giving customers a practical, secure path to deploying AI agents at scale.
