DDN: Data Infrastructure Leveraging HPC Heritage for High-Performance AI at Scale

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

DDN offers a high-performance data platform that runs directly on NVIDIA GPU infrastructure to deliver AI and data intelligence at scale.

DDN’s heritage in high-performance computing (HPC) led it to implement a parallel processing architecture that addresses many of the bottlenecks that face organizations looking to scale up their GPU-based AI efforts.

In addition, while traditional enterprise data infrastructure is read-intensive, DDN’s platform has always been write-intensive. This high-throughput write capability combined with its parallel processing architecture makes DDN ideal for scaling GPU-based AI applications.

DDN also provides data storage, database, and data analytics capabilities that run directly on cloud or on-premises infrastructure, removing the need for intermediary data services.

DDN is NVIDIA’s favored partner for data infrastructure. The company has established itself in traditional HPC markets like genomics and university research.

Given that today’s AI requires HPC, DDN is well-positioned to excel whenever organizations want to run AI at scale.
