DATA INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM

The AI Data Platform that Orchestrates Data, GPUs, and AI Services at Scale

Compute is no longer the limiting factor. Data is.

AI systems depend on how fast data can be found, moved, and delivered to models. When that breaks, GPUs sit idle. Costs rise. Millions in infrastructure sit unused.

The DDN Data Intelligence Platform solves this: a metadata-driven architecture that unifies, orchestrates, and accelerates data across distributed environments, so AI runs at the speed your business needs.

What is Data Intelligence and Why it Matters

Most AI infrastructure was not designed for how AI actually runs today. Data is distributed across environments. Pipelines are fragmented. Training and inference operate in silos. There’s no system coordinating all of it.  

The result is predictable:
– GPUs sit idle waiting for data
– Pipelines slow down under load
– Costs increase without improving output  

This is not a compute problem. It is a data orchestration problem.

The DDN Data Intelligence Platform solves it by unifying access to data across edge, core, and cloud, through a metadata-driven architecture. Then its AI control plane operationalizes AI-as-a-Service across the full AI lifecycle from data ingestion all the way through deployment. 


Recognized as a Key Player in AI Infrastructure

Gartner recognizes DDN as a key player in AI infrastructure. As AI scales, data becomes the system that determines performance, efficiency, and cost. From enterprise deployments to sovereign nations to hyperscale AI factories, organizations rely on DDN to deliver the data intelligence required.

Why AI Infrastructure Breaks at Scale

Most AI infrastructure was not designed for how AI actually runs today.

Data is distributed across environments. Pipelines are fragmented. Training and inference operate in silos. There is no system coordinating how everything works together.

The result is predictable:

  • GPUs sit idle waiting for data 
  • Pipelines slow down under load 
  • Costs increase without improving output 

This is not a compute problem. It is a data orchestration problem.

The DDN Data Intelligence Platform solves it by unifying access to data across edge, core, and cloud, through a metadata-driven architecture. Then its AI control plane operationalizes AI-as-a-Service across the full AI lifecycle from data ingestion all the way through deployment.  

Delivering Measurable AI Economics

Up to 99% GPU Utilization
Average GPU utilization is less than 50%. Those GPUs often sit idle waiting on data. DDN fixes that. On a $10M GPU investment, that can mean savings over $5M.
70% Less Power. 18X More Output Per Watt
Reduce infrastructure power consumption while dramatically increasing tokens per watt, enabling more AI output from every unit of energy.
Reduce Cost Per Query by 90%
DDN delivers 10x faster Time to First Byte which means each GPU serves 10x more queries per hour.
Months Faster Time to Production
Operationalize and monetize AI faster in production at scale. Unify data, orchestration, and AI services in a single platform.

KEY CAPABILITIES

A Unified Platform for AI Data Orchestration and Operations

Unified Data Across Distributed Environments

Unify data across edge, core, and cloud into a single platform, eliminating fragmentation across training, inference, and RAG workflows.

Metadata-Driven Data Intelligence

A high-performance metadata layer enables fast search, filtering, and retrieval across massive datasets, ensuring data is instantly accessible for AI workloads.

AI Control Plane and Orchestration

DDN Horizon orchestrates data, compute, and AI services across the full lifecycle, enabling automated workflows, resource allocation, and AI-as-a-Service delivery.

Enterprise-Scale Multi-Tenancy

Securely isolate workloads, enforce QoS, and deliver shared infrastructure at scale, enabling AI clouds and production AI across teams and customers.

HOW IT WORKS

Four Components. One Intelligent Platform. The DDN Data Intelligence Platform.

Together, these layers turn infrastructure into an operational AI platform that scales without breaking.

Data Layer

Infinia and EXAScaler provide the foundation. They deliver the performance required for both training and real-time inference.

AI Control Plane

Horizon orchestrates how data, compute, and AI services work together across the system. It manages workflows, allocates resources, and controls how AI is delivered.

AI Services Layer

The platform delivers GPU, storage, inference, and data services across environments. These services can be consumed on demand.

Industry Solutions

IndustrySync provides pre-validated AI pipelines for production AI from reducing intraday financial risk to accelerating drug discovery, speeding time to value.

Questions About the DDN Data Intelligence Platform

A data intelligence platform orchestrates how data is stored, moved, and delivered across the AI lifecycle. It ensures data is available for training, inference, and RAG at the speed AI systems require.

Unlike traditional storage or infrastructure solutions, it coordinates data, compute, and AI services as a single system. This is what enables high GPU utilization and efficient AI at scale.

Turn AI Infrastructure Into Real Outcomes

AI does not fail because of models. It fails because the data cannot keep up with the compute.

DDN fixes that. It maximizes GPU utilization. It reduces cost per outcome. It turns fragmented systems into a platform that delivers real AI output.
