DataDirect Networks (DDN), a leading big data storage supplier, announced today a significant breakthrough with the successful deployment of its DDN EXAScaler AI storage (A³I) in the TOP10 supercomputer NVIDIA EOS, based on the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD. This integration marks a leap forward in high-performance AI storage solutions, providing unprecedented efficiency and capability for handling massive AI workloads.

Integration of DDN EXAScaler AI Storage with NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD:
DDN’s integration within the DGX SuperPOD reference architecture includes 576 NVIDIA DGX H100 systems, NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand network, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. This has resulted in a high-performance, energy-efficient storage solution that consolidates 48 DDN A³I appliances in less than three racks, with a power consumption of 100 kW.

Performance and Efficiency:
The outcome is a staggering 12 petabytes of DDN storage, delivering data speeds of 4 terabytes per second, translating to an impressive 18.4 exaflops of FP8 NVIDIA AI performance. NVIDIA EOS supports the most extensive AI workloads, large language models, recommendation systems, and simulations, offering NVIDIA’s latest AI innovations.

DDN’s Commitment to System-Wide Efficiency:
Paul Bloch, President and Co-founder of DDN, stated, “Our goal is to achieve leading system-wide efficiency, not just provide efficient storage. By integrating with the NVIDIA EOS supercomputer, DDN has demonstrated our ability to harness one of the world’s most powerful GPU architectures to deliver value more quickly while reducing risks for both local and cloud partners.”

NVIDIA’s Endorsement of DDN’s Storage Solution:

Charlie Boyle, Vice President of the NVIDIA DGX Platform, said, “NVIDIA’s EOS supercomputer, built with NVIDIA DGX H100 systems, powers advanced AI research and development. NVIDIA DGX SuperPODs like EOS provide a turnkey enterprise AI supercomputing blueprint, and DDN A³I provides the high-performance, energy-efficient storage that EOS needs to deliver the data required for advanced AI training.”

Broad Applications and Future Prospects:
The DDN storage in NVIDIA EOS highlights what organizations and sovereign AI entities in data centers and the cloud can achieve. From life sciences research and drug discovery to autonomous driving and personal assistant chatbots, the benefits of large-scale generative AI and AI frameworks are now a reality, delivered economically, efficiently, and sustainably.

Upcoming Event: DDN at NVIDIA GTC:
DDN will be participating in the NVIDIA GTC Global AI Conference from March 18th to 21st (Booth #816), showcasing how it maximizes the benefits of AI for organizations, maximizes data center return on investment, and accelerates breakthroughs.

DDN’s successful implementation of its A³I storage in NVIDIA’s EOS supercomputer is a testament to the company’s dedication to advancing AI storage capabilities. As AI continues to permeate various industries, the need for robust, efficient, and scalable storage solutions becomes increasingly vital. DDN’s innovative storage technology, combined with NVIDIA’s powerful computing platforms, is set to redefine the possibilities for AI-driven research and applications.
