WHY DDN

DDN is the Data Engine of the AI Economy

DDN accelerates AI value creation across enterprises, nations, and clouds by turning AI infrastructure into measurable outcomes: maximum utilization, lowest cost per AI outcome, predictable performance at production scale, and faster time-to-value. For 25 years, over 11,000 organizations have depended on DDN to transform computational power into business outcomes.

DDN Accelerates AI Value Creation Across Enterprises, Nations, and Clouds

Maximize AI Infrastructure Efficiency

DDN drives maximum utilization of GPUs, memory, and data pipelines. Organizations using DDN achieve 30-70% higher GPU utilization. That’s enough to offset platform costs entirely through GPU cycle savings, turning infrastructure spend into competitive advantage.

Achieve the Lowest Cost of AI Outcomes

DDN delivers industry-leading cost per token at AI production scale, up to 30-50% lower power consumption per AI workload. Lower power per token means better economics at scale, reduced operational costs, and faster time to profitability.

Deliver Predictable AI at Global Scale

DDN provides consistent, multimodal AI performance from edge to data center to multi cloud. One platform that delivers deterministic performance wherever your AI runs, eliminating data silos and bottlenecks.

Accelerate AI Time-to-Value

Achieve faster AI-driven value creation across products, services, and operations. Eliminate data bottlenecks that delay production. DDN accelerates AI pipelines from training to inference, helping organizations ship models weeks faster and reach monetization sooner.

WHY DDN WINS

The Data Platform AI Demands

Proven at Scale

DDN powers 7 of the 10 fastest supercomputers, 7 of the top 10 financials, 6 of the top 10 automotives, and over 1 million GPUs worldwide. We’ve deployed more than 1 exabyte at a single site and handle petabyte-scale checkpoints. From NVIDIA’s Selene to xAI’s Colossus, this isn’t theoretical. It’s production infrastructure at scale.

Speed to Results

Faster iteration means faster breakthroughs. DDN delivers 75x quicker data discovery and 11x faster model training. Organizations ship models weeks faster. By eliminating data stalls and ensuring deterministic throughput, we turn train, finetune, align, and infer cycles from weeks into days.

Enterprise Ready

DDN enables strategic, enterprise-scale AI adoption by unifying compute and data. One platform that spans edge, data center, and multicloud. One fabric that delivers deterministic performance wherever your AI runs.

AI-Native Platform

While competitors retrofit traditional storage for AI workloads, DDN was purpose-built for intelligence production. We didn’t adapt storage for AI. We built DDN from the ground up to handle petabyte-scale checkpoints and multi-modal data that break storage-first platforms. Our architecture anticipates demands you haven’t planned for yet.

HOW DDN DELIVERS

DDN Data Intelligence Platform

The DDN Data Intelligence Platform is the production foundation for AI factories and AI services built on two tightly integrated layers:

Data Plane: The high-speed engine that serves and moves AI data at scale: feeding training, retrieval, and inference without stalls.
Control Plane: The operating layer for production AI: policy, observability, multi-tenant governance, and performance guarantees that make AI predictable and repeatable.

What you get: throughput that keeps accelerators saturated, performance you can plan around, and controls that let AI run as a shared production capability, not a one-off project.

HOW DDN DELIVERS

A Powerful Catalog of AI Services

DDN turns platform capability into consumable AI services so teams can provision what they need fast, run it with guardrails, and scale it as demand grows.

Storage-as-a-Service: High-performance data services for AI pipelines delivered as a managed capability with consistent performance and operational control.
VectorDBaaS: High-scale vector services for retrieval and RAG that prioritize predictable latency and throughput.
InferenceaaS: Production inference services optimized for low-latency experiences and high throughput, built for unit economics.
TrainingaaS: Standardized training services that increase iteration velocity and throughput across the training lifecycle.
GPUaaS: A consumption model that pairs accelerators and data services to maximize utilization and simplify delivery.

Self-service provisioning, orchestration, and lifecycle management are built in so delivery is fast, operations are consistent, and scale is a business lever.

HOW DDN DELIVERS

Industry Solutions: Packaged Outcomes that Land Fast

DDN packages the platform and services into repeatable solutions that map directly to high-value outcomes.

Risk Analytics: Faster decisions on massive datasets with production-grade controls and predictable performance.
Drug Discovery Acceleration: Higher iteration velocity across AI-driven discovery workflows from data to model to insight.
Semantic Video Search: Convert video into searchable intelligence: rapid discovery, summarization, and action at production scale.

These are packaged paths to deployed capability, designed to deliver measurable outcomes quickly.

What People are Saying

NVIDIA is powered by DDN. Without DDN, NVIDIA supercomputers wouldn’t be possible.

Jensen Huang

NVIDIA Founder & CEO

The solution DDN had, for what we needed, just made sense. We needed a small footprint and something very fast so we could process the data as quickly as possible.

Chuck Seberino

Roche Director of Accelerated Computing

DDN systems will support our research computing environment to ensure optimal performance, scalability, and reliability.
