Dell Concept Astro is a forward-looking platform designed to tackle the AI energy crisis in modern data centres.

The exponential demand for AI workloads is putting severe pressure on power infrastructure. Dell Concept Astro aims to solve this with a smart, AI-powered orchestration system. It leverages automation, digital twins, and real-time grid data to optimise energy usage and reduce operational costs in enterprise environments.

Hyperscale data centres are struggling. With the deployment of thousands of new GPU clusters globally, energy costs are surging. Reports from Gartner estimate power accounts for up to 60% of total operational expenditure. In many cases, access to reliable electricity now determines site selection. Traditional priorities like fibre connectivity or local workforce come second.

Smart scheduling for smart energy use

Dell Concept Astro proposes a smarter path forward. It uses agentic AI and digital twin simulations to anticipate and manage workloads. This way, compute-heavy jobs are scheduled during periods of low grid stress and reduced energy prices.

The platform assesses real-time electricity grid data to recommend the best time and place to run demanding workloads. It adapts to each company’s cost sensitivity and operational priorities. Whether it’s for an R&D team or a CFO, Concept Astro delivers tailored dashboards and recommendations. Dell Concept Astro doesn’t just monitor—it thinks ahead.

Digital twins and grid awareness

Dell engineers designed the system with sustainability in mind. Dr Alyson Freeman, Dell’s Innovation Lead for ESG, explains how digital twins simulate potential workload demands. This enables predictive management of energy consumption before jobs even launch.

This level of insight and adaptability could transform AI infrastructure efficiency. By aligning computing demand with energy availability, Concept Astro offers a practical path to scale AI responsibly.

Future-focused platform, real-world savings

Though currently a concept, Dell Concept Astro extends the company’s existing AI operations suite. It also integrates Dell’s AI operations assistant, offering users answers to infrastructure questions and real-time configuration advice.

For businesses, this means lower costs, better energy management, and clearer operational visibility. Concept Astro represents Dell’s vision for AI workloads that align with environmental goals and business needs.

With energy efficiency and sustainability becoming strategic concerns, Dell Concept Astro could define the next chapter in enterprise AI.

What is Dell Concept Astro?

Dell Concept Astro is a conceptual platform designed to optimise energy use for enterprise AI workloads. It integrates AI, digital twins, and real-time electricity grid data to improve workload scheduling. The platform simulates future computational demand and determines when and where to run AI jobs based on energy cost and availability. Although still in the concept stage, it builds on Dell’s existing AI operations tools, aiming to help organisations reduce costs, optimise performance, and promote sustainability.

How do digital twins help in AI workload optimisation?

Digital twins are virtual simulations of real systems. In the context of Dell Concept Astro, they model future workload behavior and energy demand. This allows the platform to plan optimal resource allocation before any job is executed. By anticipating demand, digital twins make it easier to align computational tasks with energy availability and price. This proactive approach leads to smarter scheduling, reduced energy waste, and improved data centre performance.

Why is energy management so important for AI data centres?

AI workloads are extremely resource-intensive. Running large GPU clusters requires significant power and cooling infrastructure. As a result, energy costs now represent 40–60% of a data centre’s operational expenses. This not only impacts financial performance but also places a strain on local power grids. Efficient energy management is key to sustaining AI growth, lowering emissions, and ensuring businesses can scale their operations cost-effectively.

Is Dell Concept Astro available now for deployment?

Not yet. Dell Concept Astro is currently in a conceptual stage. According to Dell, the technology is being developed and tested internally, with engineers exploring what’s possible for future scalability. However, it leverages components from Dell’s existing AI operations stack and AI operations assistant. This means elements of the platform may be adapted into future Dell enterprise solutions, especially as power and sustainability become growing concerns for AI infrastructure.
