A large prehistoric village 2 miles from Stonehenge and connected to it by a stone-paved track probably housed the builders of the monument. 7 huts from the village have been uncovered by archaeologists & 5 were reproduced for modern visitors. Two are shown below. #shelter

10 years of DGX. 10 years of pushing AI infrastructure forward. 👏 When NVIDIA introduced DGX-1 in 2016, it created a new challenge: powerful GPUs needed data fast enough to keep them productive. That challenge helped shape DDN's evolution from supercomputing into AI infrastructure. From DDN A³I and Selene to DGX SuperPOD, Cambridge-1, Eos and today's next-generation AI architectures, the work has continued to evolve alongside accelerated computing. Learn the story of 10 years of DGX + DDN — and what comes next: bit.ly/4jA4yg4 #decadeofdgx

Your GPUs are only as powerful as the data feeding them. ⚡ At CoreWeave Fully Connected, Richard Ens, Ph.D, Client Director, Strategic AI at DDN, explains why AI pipelines need to look beyond GPU counts and models. As environments scale from a handful of GPUs to thousands, the data layer becomes critical to keeping GPUs fed, maintaining consistent performance, and improving time to first token. Watch to learn how the right AI Infrastructure can keep performance consistent as GPU footprints and models grow. ⬇️ #AIInfrastructure #FullyConnected2026

Eight years ago, DDN began working with @NVIDIA on a reference architecture that could show customers what was possible when industry-leading compute is paired with a high-performance data foundation. That moment marked the start of a powerful journey. As our CEO, Alex Bouzari, shares in this video, NVIDIA saw early on that AI performance depends on more than compute alone. It also depends on data. Together, DDN and NVIDIA have helped organizations turn AI investments into real business value, financial outcomes, and technological progress. #DecadeOfDGX

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 👇

What does “data movement” actually mean in AI? DDN's James Coomer explains how, in most real-world AI environments, GPU performance gets constrained by how fast data can move in and out during every phase: preparing datasets, training models, and running inference. He breaks down how massive AI supercomputers with thousands of GPUs still depend on nonstop data feeds, plus frequent model checkpointing to track progress and recover quickly if anything goes wrong. Watch the full interview to hear how eliminating data movement friction can unlock more GPU productivity and faster model timelines: bit.ly/4cbNSrB
