The Data Intelligence Platform for End-to-End AI
AI is transforming industries, but managing the data behind it is just as critical as building the models themselves. AI innovation is often hindered by complex infrastructure, data silos, and inefficiencies. DDN Infinia 2.0 goes Beyond Artificial—Making AI Real by eliminating these barriers with a revolutionary AI data intelligence platform.
Data intelligence—the ability to quickly access the essential knowledge within data through metadata—is the key to AI acceleration. Designed to simplify, accelerate, and unify AI data workflows across core, cloud, and edge, DDN Infinia 2.0 ensures seamless data access and activation—without the need for reformatting or reconfiguration. Now, enterprises can move beyond the constraints of traditional data infrastructure and unlock real AI innovation with true agility, speed, and scale for AI data analytics, inferencing, model preparation and loading.
A Paradigm Shift in AI Data Management
“Infinia 2.0 represents a paradigm shift in how Enterprises and Cloud Providers gain value from AI while safely managing and optimizing AI data workloads,” said Alex Bouzari, CEO at DDN. “85 of the Fortune 500 businesses run their AI and HPC applications on DDN’s Data Intelligence Platform.
