Dell Technologies and Trust3 AI, formerly known as Privacera, announced a new partnership that embeds Trust3 AI’s unified governance platform directly into Dell’s Data Lakehouse architecture. The collaboration will allow enterprises to scale analytics and autonomous AI workloads across hybrid and on‑premises environments while ensuring compliance with data‑safety regulations.

The joint solution integrates Trust3 AI’s governance layer with Dell’s leading storage platforms—ECS, ObjectScale, and PowerScale—providing continuous protection and data‑access controls at the storage layer. By addressing the growing demand for “agentic AI,” where autonomous agents interact with sensitive corporate data, the partnership tackles heightened concerns about unauthorized data exposure and positions Dell as a secure AI‑ready platform for regulated industries.

Strategically, the partnership gives Dell a foothold in financial services, healthcare, and the public sector—markets that require stringent data governance. It also strengthens Dell’s AI‑factory offering, moving the company beyond hardware into a comprehensive AI infrastructure provider and expanding its value‑add services beyond physical servers.

Dell’s recent financial performance underscores the importance of this partnership. In Q1 FY2026, Dell reported revenue of $23.4 billion, up 5% year‑over‑year, with its Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) revenue at $10.3 billion, up 12%. AI server orders reached $12.1 billion, and the company’s backlog stood at $14.4 billion. Dell’s full‑year FY2026 revenue guidance of $101.0 billion to $105.0 billion represents an 8% year‑over‑year increase, reflecting the growing demand for AI‑optimized infrastructure.

Christophe Hassaine, VP of Alliances at Trust3 AI, said, “This collaboration underscores our commitment to making AI truly enterprise‑ready. By combining Trust3 AI’s governance brain with Dell Technologies’ industry‑leading infrastructure, we’re enabling customers to unlock the ‘dark data’ sitting in their storage clusters and move from AI pilots to full‑scale production while maintaining the highest standards of integrity.” Analysts have responded positively, raising price targets and highlighting Dell’s strong AI server demand as a key driver of future growth.

The partnership expands Dell’s AI ecosystem, positioning it to capture a larger share of the regulated‑market AI infrastructure space. By embedding governance at the storage layer, Dell can offer a differentiated, secure solution that meets compliance requirements, potentially driving new revenue streams and deepening customer relationships in high‑value sectors.
