Nvidia GTC: DDN AI400X2 Turbo Appliance Accelerates Gen AI and Inference for Data Center and Cloud by 10x

DDN (DataDirect Networks Inc.) announced WW support for cloud partners in the Nvidia Partner Network hosting large-scale GPU services.

This support expands upon DDN’s success with Nvidia DGX SuperPOD customers and AI cloud providers building hosted solutions for large-scale model training.

With a strong track record of deployments backing hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs WW, the company has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to make GPU-based cloud implementations more efficient and cost-effective. The firm designed its AI storage appliances and EXAScaler filesystem to streamline the provisioning and growth of AI infrastructure with simple building blocks while optimizing the entire infrastructure by ensuring that the network, processors and software are fully utilized for increased performance.

As companies developing large AI projects seek fast access to AI supercomputing, architectural flexibility and look to minimize risk, Cloud Partners in the Nvidia Partner Network offer the scalability, reliability and expertise to help enable access to HPC for a broader range of organizations. These providers can take advantage of EXAScaler’s multi-tenancy, end-to-end data security, and optimized read and write performance to deliver adaptable services without compromising processing speed.

“We see the Cloud Partners in the Nvidia Partner Network as essential channels through which customers can access powerful accelerated computing and storage resources quickly,” said Dr. James Coomer, SVP, products. “Our A³I solutions assure our cloud partners and their customers that they are taking advantage of storage that makes the entire AI infrastructure safer, faster and more scalable.”
