Key Features

Faster AI Performance

DDN A³I solutions are fully-optimised to deliver massive performance acceleration to applications. The DDN shared parallel architecture fully saturates GPUs and ensures all efforts go towards productive AI use.

Streamlined Workflows

DDN A³I solutions enable all phases of deep learning concurrently and continuously from a shared unified namespace. This makes it easy to collect and access large amounts of data from a variety of sources, and rapidly iterate through training, validation, inference and simulation.

Flexible Scaling

DDN A³I scales seamlessly in capacity, performance and capability to match evolving workflow needs. Configurations can start small and expand in multiple dimensions to achieve optimal technical and economic benefits.

A³I Cluster Configurations

To meet the requirements of a variety of workloads, the DDN A³I architecture leverages an NVMe AI400X2 appliance. This all-flash NVMe is a GPU-optimised parallel file system that delivers up to 90GB/s of throughput and over 3M IOPS to applications via 200Gb/s connectivity options. Engineered to provide the highest data availability and maximum system uptime, all AI400X2 hardware and software components are integrated as a fully redundant system. Using AI400X2 nodes, the cluster can scale to over 10PB of data and is managed by the DDN Insight platform - a single interface to monitor arrays, filesystems, servers and applications - regardless of the size of system.

The DDN A³I Range

The DDN A³I AI400X2 - powered by DDN Insight - can drive workloads at the edge, in the datacentre or in the cloud. These nodes are available in a cost-effective all-flash form factor which deliver blazing performance to address the needs of the modern workloads of today and tomorrow.
