Deploying and scaling enterprise AI often results in wasted compute capacity and spiraling costs. To address this, DDN has launched the Enterprise AI HyperPOD, a turnkey AI data platform built on Supermicro hardware and accelerated by NVIDIA. This integrated solution is engineered to redefine how enterprises and sovereign organizations deploy artificial intelligence by delivering unmatched efficiency, scale, and measurable ROI from day one.
DDN launches Enterprise AI HyperPOD, a turnkey AI platform with Supermicro and NVIDIA.
The platform is based on the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design.
It integrates DDN's data intelligence, Supermicro hardware, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software.
Key benefits include 22x faster data ingestion and 18x faster inference KV Cache.
It offers 10x power savings and industry-leading density of 2PB in 1U.
Configurations range from a 4-GPU edge unit to a 256-GPU sovereign-grade system.
The DDN Enterprise AI HyperPOD is designed to solve the critical challenge of GPU underutilization. By aligning compute, networking, and data intelligence, the platform sustains near-perfect GPU utilization, transforming infrastructure investment into scalable business outcomes. It accelerates the enterprise inference pipeline, offering significant performance advantages over alternative solutions.
Sven Oehme, CTO at DDN, emphasized the business-centric approach, stating, “AI success isn’t about how many GPUs you buy, it’s about how well you use them. Enterprises are tired of wasted capacity and spiraling costs. With DDN Enterprise AI HyperPOD... we’re delivering a turnkey platform that keeps GPUs 95% busy, transforms infrastructure into outcomes, and scales from edge deployments to sovereign AI factories.”
Justin Boitano, vice president of enterprise AI products at NVIDIA, highlighted the data foundation, saying, “The DDN Enterprise AI HyperPOD... gives enterprises a proven, secure, and high-performance foundation to harness the full potential of AI data at scale.”
The platform delivers immediate business value through turnkey deployment that allows enterprises to run AI inference in minutes instead of months. It also provides significant sustainability benefits with 10x power savings. Singtel, a leading sovereign AI cloud provider, has adopted the solution to support enterprises in accelerating their adoption of agentic AI and large-scale inference with the right balance of performance, economics, and security.
The solution is available in pre-integrated configurations for every stage of an AI journey, from a small 4-GPU unit for edge AI to a massive 256-GPU system for exascale, sovereign-grade AI. Each configuration is pre-integrated with Supermicro hardware, NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, and DDN Infinia 2.3, ensuring enterprises can move seamlessly from pilot projects to massive production environments with confidence and measurable returns.
