DDN, THE AI DATA COMPANY

DDN’s A3I data management appliances are purpose-built for accelerating AI at any scale. With validated reference architectures for most GPU solutions, including NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, DDN A3I systems are proven in many of the largest global AI supercomputer deployments At up to 90 GB/s read, and 65 GB/s write performance per appliance, the high-density 2U platforms are the fastest storage solutions in the industry and can deliver up to 24 x NVMe SSDs in the 2U form factor. With up to 16 PB HDD within a single rack, DDN customers can expand to 100’s of PB shared storage, and more than 2 TB/second data throughput.

These AI-optimized platforms are preconfigured with the EXAscaler filesystem, making these all-flash NVMe appliances and hybrid expansion options ideal for deep learning and real-time inference systems large-scale data centres with a limited amount of space and ones that require solid high-performance flash in a scale-out architecture. You can start with a single box and scale out endlessly to meet your file system or block needs.

Common use cases include:
• AI - Artificial Intelligence
• Analytics
• Deep Learning
• Content Distribution
• High IOPS Telemetry

DDN Storage Fusion Architecture (SFA) appliances have been built purposely to deliver scalable flash performance and capacity to meet ever changing and growing business demands. The SFA NVMe platforms deliver 100% NVMe storage with multiple high-speed connectivity choices and hybrid expansion options. At up to 90 GB/s read, and 65 GB/s write performance per appliance, the high-density 2U platforms are the fastest storage solutions in the industry and can deliver up to 24 x NVMe SSDs in the 2U form factor. With up to 16 PB HDD within a single rack, DDN customers can expand to 100’s of PB shared storage, and more than 2 TB/second data throughput.

Also available preconfigured with the EXAscaler filesystem, these NVMe appliances are ideal for data centres with a limited amount of space and ones that require solid high-performance flash in a scale-out architecture. You can start with a single box and scale out endlessly to meet your file system or block needs.

This SFA18KX is a single appliance that provides up to 3.2 million IOPS from its 4U enclosure. The SFA18KX storage offering is the fastest storage solution in the industry today, delivering the highest density available with the ability to drive an unmatched number of flash (both NVMe and SAS) devices along with spinning drives.

Built using Intel Xeon Scalable processors, SFA18KX building blocks begin in the lower terabytes region, scaling to over 25 petabytes. Selecting the building block size that best suits your use case, the SFA18KX performance density enables a much smaller solution footprint than other competitors in the same market, meaning a lower controller-to-drive ratio, along with lower power and cooling figures.

The DDN SFA7990X is the essential platform for consolidating storage requirements. Designed in the flash era to fully exploit the impressive performance of SSDs, the SFA7990X provides low-latency performance and industry-leading innovation for block and file storage at any scale.

DDN’s SFA7990X Hybrid Flash Storage Platform is designed to grow with the needs of your accelerating business use cases and ultimately provide flexibility without compromise. The SFA7990X uses Intel Xeon Scalable processors and addresses the most intensive Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Application demands right through to support long-term retention of large amounts of infrequently used data.

EXAScaler is the world’s most advanced parallel filesystem: developed and optimized using the latest advances in filesystem software technology, EXA6 delivers extreme performance, scalability, capability, reliability and simplicity.

Augmented with feature-rich enhancements, EXA6 delivers a true global data platform capable of enabling and accelerating a wide-range of data-intensive workflows, at any scale. Fully-integrated DDN EXAScaler appliances combine the world’s fastest hyperconverged data storage platform with a truly parallel filesystem software in a package that’s easy to deploy, managed and backed by the leaders in data at scale.

DDN DataFlow is an all-inclusive software solution that enables customers to design, deploy and operate high-performance data workflows at-scale. It is a fast, flexible, and reliable data platform that can scale seamlessly to meet even the most demanding project requirements, moving data seamlessly between production, backup, archive and cloud platforms.

DDN DataFlow safeguards critical information, provides long-term retention of valuable assets in an organized repository, and delivers distributed multi-threaded capabilities for fastest data operations. It also offers powerful file synchronization solutions—even across heterogeneous storage platforms and remote locations.

The Intelliflash N6000 Series is the latest addition to the NVMe-based IntelliFlash range with the industry’s most mature NVMe platform. The IntelliFlash platform delivers unmatched innovation in flash management, data persistence, and data management, enabling the N6000 Series to deliver new levels of consolidation, simplicity, and economics.

These Unified Storage systems deliver an ideal combination of performance and scalability for enterprise end-user file shares and AI, analytics and HPC workloads. The H-Series enables concurrent support for SAN and NAS protocols on a single system for cost-efficient workload consolidation, while incorporating powerful analytics software for faster data insights.

In addition to native concurrent block (FC, iSCSI) and file (NFS, SMB3) access,
DDN Intelliflash offers an S3 Cloud Connector for Hybrid cloud capabilities, enabling connectivity to public cloud or any S3-compatible object storage.
