Combination of A3I AI Storage Solutions and DGX A100 Systems Advances AI and Deep Learning Infrastructure to Optimize Performance of Analytics, Training and Inference Workloads
DDN, the global leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and multicloud data management, today announced support for NVIDIA DGX A100 systems in its A3I™ solutions. DGX A100 is the world’s first 5-petaflops AI system that consolidates the power and capabilities of an entire data center into a single flexible platform. A3I combines DDN storage, DGX A100 systems and NVIDIA Mellanox high-speed networking to supply optimized compute and I/O based on common principles of parallelism, performance and scale.
A wide variety of organizations with different use cases, sizes and technical skill levels are looking to data-intensive applications and data science to differentiate, innovate and speed time-to-market for their products. By creating solutions that are powerful, scalable and easy to deploy, DDN makes high-performance AI and analytics accessible to anyone with these requirements. Leading life sciences, autonomous vehicle, pharmaceutical and manufacturing organizations have already taken advantage of DDN’s A3I solutions. This next generation will make innovation that much faster and easier.
