DDN Completes Acquisition of Western Digital Intelliflash AFA Business

Formerly announced last September

DataDirect Networks, Inc. (DDN) completed its acquisition of the Intelliflash business from Western Digital Corp.

This acquisition expands DDN’s portfolio of intelligent infrastructure offerings for the enterprise with NVMe flash solutions and versatile hybrid storage arrays, backed by an AI-enabled, predictive analytics platform. With Intelliflash, DDN extends in end-to-end data management solutions and enables enterprises to solve their demanding data center requirements across AI, analytics, IoT, multicloud, and virtualized environments. 

Intelliflash adds the most powerful and versatile NVMe, hybrid flash and predictive analytics platform in the industry to DDN’s market leading enterprise storage offering for virtualized environments, IoT and data at scale requirements,” said Alex Bouzari, CEO and co-founder, DDN. “Our customers can truly enhance the value and simplify the management of their data in the multicloud with insight, ease of use and flexibility across the broadest range of platforms, applications and environments.” 

The acquisition adds more than 1,700 customers and partners, 7 years of flash storage innovation, a patent portfolio and an engineering and global go-to-market team to DDN’s Enterprise Division.

With today’s enterprise and cloud-scale data initiatives, it is essential for IT infrastructures to deliver ease of management, high performance, flexibility and stability to meet and exceed digital modernization demands. DDN’s enterprise business unit now combines Intelliflash, Tintri’s virtualized storage offerings and Nextenta’s IoT and telco offerings, thereby addressing the data management enterprise needs.

I am excited to have the Intelliflash organization join the DDN Enterprise family. Both the people, as well as the technology, are a natural fit for our organization and now provide us a broader set of offerings that will further enhance our intelligent infrastructure portfolio for enterprise customers,” said Tom Ellery, GM and senior VP of field operations, Tintri by DDN. “As we combine the organization, we are eager to engage with the entire Intelliflash community of customers and partners. The opportunity to become more intimate with their business challenges and share our vision of how intelligent infrastructure is fundamentally changing all operational aspects for the large enterprise is incredibly invigorating for the entire company.
