DDN®, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and multi-cloud data management solutions, announced that it sold more AI storage appliances in the first four months of 2023 than it did in 2022 as a whole. The impact of broad enthusiasm-generating AI on the business opportunities presented has led to a steady increase in investment in AI and AI infrastructure.
While language-based AI applications such as ChatGPT have received a lot of attention, there are many other AI use cases where major breakthroughs are on the horizon. Hyper-realistic 3D and immersive universes in games, creation of sophisticated new proteins and molecules for drug discovery, self-driving cars, and space exploration all require large-scale data processing to drive innovation. This is just one example.
“Trillions of data objects and parameters required for generative AI would not be possible without a highly scalable, high-performance data storage system,” explains Dr. James Coomer, senior vice president of products at DDN. “DDN is the solution of choice for thousands of deployments by organizations like NASA, University of Florida, and Naver.”
Massive data sets, curated from a variety of data sources, are at the heart of generative AI and machine learning applications, whether in gaming, autonomous driving, or natural language processing. However, to work well, it requires extremely high levels of write and read data performance, extreme scale of cost-effective data capacity, flexible delivery on-premises and in the cloud, and highest efficiency and lowest consumption. Power required.
David Hall, Head of HPC at DDN customer and solution partner Lambda, said: “By combining his deep expertise in large-scale Lambda GPU clusters with his cutting-edge DDN data platform, we are enabling our customers to do just that with flexible AI deployments in the cloud, on-premises, or in colocated data centers. I am supporting.”
DDN built AI400X2 appliances in on-premises data centers and in the cloud specifically for these enterprise AI applications. It delivers terabytes of data up to exabytes per second with sustained write and read performance, and is 33x more efficient than traditional storage systems with a fraction of the power requirements.
Generative AI applications that generate human-like text and digital image generators are getting a lot of attention, but pharmaceutical design, materials science, chip design, and industrial manufacturing will all benefit from this technology. With new technologies, risk mitigation is paramount as companies move toward value realization. With cutting-edge AI technology and expertise, DDN provides proven solutions to accelerate your strategic AI initiatives.
