We sat down with DDN co-founder and CEO Alex Bouzari at SC24 to discuss new trends in high performance storage – or, as Bouzari refers to DDN’s core offering, its data intelligence platform.
Bouzari is a stalwart of modern HPC, having co-founded DDN in 1998 with Paul Bloch and maintained the company’s focus on providing solutions for storing and managing data at massive scale. DDN is a vendor of choice for traditional HPC centers, for hyperscalers and for enterprises utilizing large data sets. The company has used that legacy to transition into the HPC-AI era. Tens of exasbytes in AI and HPC, and more than half a million GPUs process data delivered by DDN storage technology.
For all his decades in HPC-AI, Bouzari’s passion for high-end data storage and management comes through clearly in this update on DDN’s data intelligence platform product portfolio.
