A governed AI innovation environment where enterprises test hybrid architectures, optimize token economics, and validate workloads before production
NEW YORK, September 21, 2026 — Presidio, a leading global technology services and solutions provider, today announced that PATH (Presidio AI Technology Hub) is expanding to include Dell Technologies accelerated infrastructure. The enterprise AI lab provides clients a hands-on environment to build, test and validate AI workloads across private, public cloud and emerging neo-cloud infrastructure before making production-scale investments.
PATH combines AI-ready infrastructure from Dell Technologies, with GPUs, ultra-high speed networking, next generation storage technology, data center hosting and other capabilities from additional ecosystem collaborators. Presidio is deploying a Dell AI infrastructure stack that includes Dell PowerEdge XE9780 systems powered by NVIDIA B300 GPUs for large-scale model training, Dell PowerEdge XE7745 servers with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPUs optimized for visualization and inferencing workloads. Dell AI Data Platform file storage (PowerScale) and data engines improve accuracy and serve as the foundation for their enterprise AI lab, ensuring faster access to data. The solution is hosted within a data center designed to support the power, cooling, connectivity, and security requirements of modern AI workloads.
The launch expands on Presidio’s 2025 introduction of PATH as an AI innovation concept. Customers can now use the environment to see validated reference architectures in action, benchmark performance against real workloads, and understand what a well-architected AI deployment looks like before committing to a production model.
A Test Environment for Hybrid AI
PATH is part of the broader Presidio AI portfolio and serves as Presidio’s hands-on lab and innovation environment. Customers can use it to evaluate AI applications across on-premises , public cloud and neo-cloud providers, with the flexibility to run validated workloads into the environment that best fits their performance, security and cost requirements.
The lab supports a range of enterprise use cases, including digital twins, document intelligence, retrieval-augmented generation, autonomous agents and industry-specific AI applications. Presidio teams can also work with customers to design and test custom solutions, assess deployment models and establish governance before those workloads reach production.
PATH includes the infrastructure, cloud sandbox environments and governance needed to support enterprise testing. That includes identity and security controls, observability, FinOps and cost attribution, managed services, and service-level agreements.
Helping Enterprises Address Token Economics
As AI adoption grows, enterprises are paying closer attention to the cost of inference and the number of tokens consumed by applications and agents. Workloads that appear economical during early pilots can become significantly more expensive as usage increases.
PATH gives customers a controlled environment to test model choice, infrastructure configuration, data architecture and workload placement. These evaluations can help organizations understand how technical decisions affect token consumption, latency, performance and long-term operating costs.
Presidio expects to continue to expand PATH with additional technology providers and deployment options, including broader neo-cloud provider support. This provides more platforms to compare and clearly demonstrate AI workloads can be developed with portability and extensibility in mind.
“As AI usage outpaces expectations, token optimization has become an executive concern. This integrated environment lets customers test workload placement and infrastructure decisions early — on a foundation built with Dell infrastructure” said Michael Kelly, EVP Consulting & AI Platforms at Presidio.
