Dell Urges Earlier AI Hardware Planning Amid Component Shortages

Dell Technologies is urging enterprise buyers to involve the company earlier in artificial intelligence infrastructure projects as component constraints make delivery planning harder. The message came at an Oct. 20 symposium, with Dell’s AI backlog at $95 billion at the end of its latest fiscal quarter. David Schmoock, Dell’s senior vice president of global revenue operations, described late procurement requests as a missed opportunity to coordinate supply and deployment schedules. “I think it is a period of turbulence. I think people are waking up to say we need to plan longer-term horizons,” Schmoock said.
