DDN Targets Enterprise-Shaped Hole In Its AI Storage Offer
DDN, July 2,2025
Specialist in AI and HPC storage DDN has oriented towards higher performance array products more suited to the enterprise as it aims at $1bn in turnover for 2025
The artificial intelligence (AI) boom has yet to really break and, when it does, enterprises will spend billions on it, according to storage array maker DDN, which has long-standing expertise in delivering storage to support massive compute clusters in high performance computing (HPC) and, more recently, AI.
HPC compute clusters already dependent on DDN storage will likely triple or quadruple orders by 2027, said Paul Bloch, co-founder and president of DDN, adding: '200,000 GPUs are deployed in 'Elon Musk's' xAI cluster in Memphis, and that number will reach a million. The growth of performance of GPUs is increasingly driving data storage requirements, because the only way to deal with it is increasingly to ingest data in real time.'
