Dell Technologies Capital highlighted two such companies at Dell EMC World this year:

Edico Genome created the first bio-IT processor and an end-to-end platform designed to analyze the workloads associated with DNA sequencing. Edico Genome is delivering a pre-configured, out-of-the- box solution with Dell Technologies that enables the analysis of an entire genome in 22 minutes compared to more than 24 hours using standard software.

Pieter van Rooyen is the chief executive officer of Edico Genome.

Graphcore developed new technology to deliver acceleration for Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. The company’s Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU) is the first to be designed for machine intelligence workloads.

Graphcore IPU platforms are designed to improve performance, increase efficiency and lower the cost of accelerating AI applications in cloud and enterprise datacenters. Dell Technologies Capital is helping Graphcore use Dell Technologies’ OEM and product integration capabilities to bring their innovative technology to even more customers.
