From proof of concept to production in hours, not months ⚡ In this video, Jason Brown, Senior Director of Product and Solutions Marketing at DDN, shares how the DDN Enterprise AI HyperPOD, built with Supermicro and accelerated by NVIDIA, helps organizations deploy AI Infrastructure that is pre-validated, turnkey, and ready for production. He breaks down how DDN Infinia, NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, and high-density compute come together to support RAG and inference with more than 90% GPU utilization, up to 10x power and cooling savings, 22x faster RAG pipelines, and 18x faster inferencing. Watch the video to see how DDN, Supermicro, and NVIDIA are helping enterprises move from concept to production faster with AI Infrastructure built to scale.

Your GPUs should be accelerating AI, not recomputing context 🔄 In this demo, Barak Epstein, Product Manager at Google Cloud, shows how Managed Lustre can be used as a KV cache for inferencing. By saving context outside GPU or TPU memory, teams can retrieve precomputed context, reduce recomputation, and improve accelerator efficiency for large-context AI workloads. Learn how DDN and Google Cloud are helping teams get more performance and better value from AI Infrastructure 👇
