Fueling Extreme Performance: How Sandisk NVMe and DDN Power the Next Generation of AI and HPC
DDN 2025-12-15 19:48
Hey everybody, Ethan Sloan with SanDisk. We're going to talk a little bit about SanDisk DDN powering the next generation of AI and HBC. Nobody's talked AI here, so this will be the first one, right.Obviously, a little bit about me. So, at SanDisk, enterprise solid state drive representation, helping to fuel the uh the channel. So the goal today is to answer questions with regards to who, what, where, why, when, and how.The who part is who am I. Ethan just introduced myself. Let's get into the what.Right. So ...
Unlocking AI and HPC Success with Google Cloud Managed Lustre
DDN 2025-12-12 20:31
The key to unlocking AI and high performance computing success is data. But as organizations globally raise their AI and HPC ambitions, they are learning that implementing the right data strategy is easier said than done. These challenges can prevent a proof of concept from translating into a successful production grade deployment.Many of the most pressing data related issues come down to some fundamental challenges within the storage infrastructure. Put simply, AI scale workloads require AI scale storage. ...

AI token factories fail when data becomes the bottleneck
DDN 2025-12-10 17:02
AI token factories collapse without data intelligence. DDN can help. Here's the business problem.Most AI token factories fail not because of GPUs, but because data becomes a bottleneck. Token cost skyrocket. Power goes through the roof.Time to revenue stalls. And here's the NCP reality for cloud. Profitability isn't about selling GPU hours.It's about lowering token cost. DDN does that across training, inference, and rack at the system level, helping NCPs attract more customers. GPUs create power.DDN turns t ...
Starving GPUs while the power meter spins? Fix the data bottleneck.
DDN 2025-12-09 22:45
And every time the memory bandwidth gets big and the data demands get bigger. And so the bottlenecks [music] are when the GPUs are trying to run something but they're waiting for data in one way or the other. They're reading or writing.And if they're doing that, then they're wasting resources. They're wasting productivity at massive [music] scale. You know, when we talk about data center efficiency, um the new kind of phrase on everyone's lips [music] when they're building data centers is tokens for what.An ...
I/O Performance Benchmarking from University of Florida's Fourth Generation HiPerGator

I'm the director for UFIT research computing and uh my team is sort of displayed there between the hyper computer system. Our function is to support AI and high performance computing from across the campus. So that's our our mission. That's what we spend all of our time.So let me briefly tell you the story. We started building Hypergr in 2012. We created a new data center and that's also when we really started our intense relationship with DDN.They've been with us all the way. The first version, first gener ...
