There are three waves simulation AI and then you got quantum more and more data is coming in. What is an AI factory if someone asked you. >> So to me okay to me an AI factory is a tool a capability it could be physical as in a data center it could be a combination of physical in a data center and cloud but it's a way to generate and create business value business outcomes and financial outcomes for organizations who are looking at making investments in AI.So an AI factory for an enterprise, let's say financ ...

So in the past customers picked object store interfaces because of their simplicity and picked file systems interfaces primarily for their performance. What would you do if you have a technology that can give you the interactive performance of a file system but the simplicity of an object store. That is essentially what Infinia does. ...

Supercharging workloads to achieve data intelligence. Fast, very flexible, >> sheer performance and uh amazing throughput at low latencies. >> Performance earthshattering. ...

I'm Paul Mloud. I'm a product director at Super Micro and my responsibility is for storage products and I've been working with with DDN for a good number of years and I'm really excited about this new Infinia product and our HyperPod solution that we're jointly going together to market. I really think that this is going to provide all the bits and pieces that an enterprise needs to put together a solution for rag data flows.The performance is there, the scaling is there, and the integration with the AI data ...

You want me to. Welcome back everyone. I'm John Fer with The Cube.We are live here at supercomputing 2025. I'm here with Dave Volante, my co-host Jackie Magcguire, Savannah P. The whole team is here unpacking the wave of AI infrastructure that continues to accelerate the value uh to the enterprise and to large cloud hyperscalers and neoclouds.A lot of action happening. Alex Bazari here, CEO of DDN is back on the cube. Alex, great to see you as always. as always. Always a real pleasure.You guys uh continuing ...

As you probably know, AI is already redefining the world economy from financial services to healthcare to automotive, energy, manufacturing, public sector. We are really starting to see great new AI applications come and this is all in partnerships with Nvidia, our great partner who has been pushing us on the envelope of innovation. So what we are talking about here is yes we've been here for many years 27 years in fact but the last 10 years has been amazing in 2015 almost 10 years ago we were supercharging ...

My name is Pre Mela. I am the senior director of international marketing at data direct networks DDN. And here with me is a pioneer of our ages, one of the pioneers of AI infrastructure, Paul Block, who is the president and co-founder of DDN.I'm looking forward to having this conversation with him on all things related to AI infrastructure. Hello Paul, how are you. >> Good Prem, good to be in Dubai.>> So Paul, let's start with the origin story of DDN. Can you tell us about the origin story and can you also ...
