DDN Gears Up For AI Boom With Next-Gen Storage Systems
DDN, July 2,2025
The new AI400X3 and Infinia 2.1 systems offer enhanced speed, object storage and GPU integration for enterprise AI deployments.
DataDirect Networks (DDN) is positioning itself at the heart of the coming AI boom, projecting that enterprise adoption of AI will soon surge - and with it, demand for powerful storage systems.
The company, a veteran in high-performance computing (HPC) storage, expects orders from existing HPC clients to triple or quadruple by 2027. DDN co-founder Paul Bloch highlighted Elon Musk's xAI cluster in Memphis, which currently uses 200,000 GPUs - a number he says could grow to one million.
