DDN launched a
certified DDN and NVIDIA set of AI solutions that optimizes value and
performance in AI integration use cases. With DDN's
A3I (Accelerated,
Any-Scale AI) solutions and
NVIDIA's DGX A100 systems with NVIDIA InfiniBand and Ethernet networking, VARs and distributors
are now able to deliver to enterprise customers feature-rich, easy to deploy
and manage intelligent AI infrastructure solutions, which are highly efficient
and cost-effective at any scale.
These pre-integrated configurations of DDN A3I with NVIDIA DGX A100
infrastructure solutions are offered in several sizes aligned to customer
business need, supporting use cases such as AI recommendation systems, image
analysis and natural language processing, and applications such as healthcare,
autonomous driving, financial services, and hybrid cloud.
"DDN and
NVIDIA deliver robust technologies to industry leaders in the AI, HPC and
enterprise data center space. This joint
solution delivered as a turnkey offering through Arrow Electronics makes it
easy for Arrow's authorized value-added resellers and managed service providers to
take that next step in delivering AI solutions to their customers," said Ben Klay, vice president,
Alliances at Arrow, a Fortune 110 value-added
distributor. Arrow's enterprise
computing solutions business aggregates the world's leading technologies and
services to enable its global channel ecosystem.
The
program includes a complete set of enablement sales tools, follow-up tools, and
demand-generation assets to help partners successfully sell and position their
AI solutions. On the DDN
PartnerLink page, partners will have access to DDN sales and marketing resources which includes
solution briefs, enablement trainings, customer presentations, SPIFFs, sales

"Data-centric enterprises need to realize newer,
faster insights and make better decisions by applying the power of AI for true

providing the building blocks to be successful. This is underscored by DDN, as
well as its enterprise division
