Generative AI is no longer just experimental in financial services, it’s becoming foundational. From AI-driven client onboarding to dynamic portfolio summaries and real-time regulatory reporting, institutions are tapping into large language models (LLMs), multimodal architectures, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to increase productivity, reduce risk, and accelerate time to insight. But while the models are powerful, they’re only as effective as the infrastructure behind them.
Whether you’re deploying generative AI for personalized client interactions, automated compliance reporting, or document summarization, the biggest bottlenecks often aren’t in your models—they’re in your data pipelines. That’s why financial firms are modernizing their backend with DDN’s Data Intelligence Platform, engineered to drive real-time, scalable, and intelligent AI operations across the enterprise.
Why Infrastructure Is the Generative AI Differentiator
Today’s financial workloads are increasingly distributed and data-intensive. You’re not just feeding LLMs with a few documents, you’re indexing petabytes of structured and unstructured data across historical tick data, client communications, earnings reports, and market signals. Traditional infrastructure can’t handle the concurrency, metadata volume, or latency requirements of generative AI at scale.
Here’s where DDN transforms the equation:
- Saturate GPUs with high-bandwidth data to keep LLM training and fine-tuning running at full capacity
- Enable RAG pipelines that instantly retrieve data across your cloud, core, and edge environments
- Support in-place querying using S3, POSIX, SQL, and CSI—no data movement required between your hybrid-cloud deployments GCP, AWS, Azure, OCI or on-prem
- Automate tagging, movement, and versioning of multimodal datasets through metadata-rich pipelines
This is the infrastructure advantage that powers smarter, faster, and more secure generative AI in financial services.
Real-Time Intelligence for Real-Time Markets
In financial services, latency equals lost opportunity, and potential liability. A portfolio summary generator or generative compliance assistant delayed by batch ETL isn’t just inefficient—it’s ineffective in a world where continuous compliance and real-time audit readiness are the new standard.
DDN’s Data Intelligence Platform is purpose-built for this environment. It delivers sub-millisecond latency from ingest to inference, supports multi-tenant orchestration, and ensures zero-copy data access, enabling financial institutions to streamline workflows while maintaining strict governance and regulatory posture.
With IndustrySync™, DDN goes a step further, synchronizing AI pipelines across edge, co-lo, and core environments so that events, models, and risk signals are always aligned and audit-ready, no matter where they originate.
Use Cases Transforming Financial Services
Leading financial institutions are already using generative AI to:
- Generate executive summaries of complex financial reports using LLMs trained on internal datasets
- Automate KYC and onboarding workflows, reducing manual effort and improving compliance readiness
- Respond to regulatory inquiries in real time with generative summarization of historical trade data
- Build advisor copilots that generate client-ready investment proposals in seconds
These applications depend on real-time, scalable access to data across silos, something only DDN’s platform enables at financial scale.
Built for AI. Trusted by the Leaders.
The same platform trusted by NVIDIA and Jump Trading for their internal AI clusters is available to financial institutions ready to take generative AI from concept to production. With terabyte-per-second throughput, real-time metadata search, and support for NVIDIA tools like NeMo, NIM, and AI Enterprise, DDN makes it possible to deploy, scale, and govern LLMs with the performance and auditability that financial markets demand.
Get Ready to Scale Generative AI with Confidence
Generative AI has the power to transform everything from client service to compliance. But that power can’t be realized on legacy infrastructure. Financial institutions need a platform that’s fast, intelligent, and built for scale.
DDN’s Data Intelligence Platform is the foundation for success in this new era of AI-driven finance, delivering the performance, orchestration, and governance needed to turn vision into value.
