1313 DDN | Insights Into the Long Term
1. DDN is merging processors, fast interconnects, tiers of NVM
and spinning disks through a highly innovative distributed
software layer
2. High-speed tiering with non-volatile local and distributed
memory pools leverages new multi-core processor,
interconnect and memory technology
3. DDNâs IME and WOS technologies enable consolidation across
protocols with object stores and archives, while allowing GPFS
and Lustre support.
4. DDN achieves significantly higher efficiency from applications,
workflows, and computing environments with intelligent and
predictive software layers
