DDN builds the infrastructure that keeps AI moving. CEO and Co-Founder Alex Bouzari has spent decades turning the company into a backbone of modern AI, powering NVIDIA’s GPU systems and more than 100,000 GPUs for xAI. What began in high-performance computing evolved naturally into AI, as the same data-intensive challenges expanded to unprecedented scale.
DDN’s data intelligence platform sits beside NVIDIA’s GPUs, enabling them to run faster, in smaller footprints, and with less power. That efficiency has made DDN critical for enterprises and governments building large-scale AI systems—from financial institutions training real-time trading models to national programs developing sovereign AI.
With new backing from Blackstone, Bouzari is extending DDN’s reach while staying focused on what built the company in the first place: delivering measurable value to customers. As AI demand accelerates, DDN is ensuring the infrastructure can keep up.
