Chatsworth, Calif. — [October 28, 2025] — DDN, the global leader in AI and data intelligence solutions, today announced support for the newly launched NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPU, unveiled at GTC Washington,D.C. 2025. Engineered for giga-factories and data-driven AI enterprises, NVIDIA BlueField–4 delivers unprecedented networking, acceleration, and security capabilities — and DDN is extending its software-defined storage and data orchestration platforms to unlock its full potential for customers.
Accelerating the Era of Intelligent Infrastructure
NVIDIA BlueField-4 sets a new performance standard for data-intensive AI infrastructure with 800 Gb/s networking bandwidth and six times the compute power of BlueField-3. Through integration with the NVIDIA Grace CPU and NVIDIA ConnectX-9 networking, BlueField-4 brings advanced multi-tenant networking, AI runtime security, high-speed data access, and bare-metal compute isolation.
DDN is collaborating with NVIDIA to build next-generation exabyte-class data storage and intelligence platforms, leveraging DDN Infinia and NVIDIA BlueField-4. This joint innovation enables AI factories and sovereign AI deployments to scale efficiently, accelerating inferencing and large multi-modal training with NVIDIA’s full software stack, including NeMo and Dynamo.
For DDN customers building AI factories and next-generation inference environments, these capabilities translate directly into faster access to data, greater efficiency, and zero-trust security at scale.
DDN with NVIDIA BlueField-4: Data Intelligence Without Bottlenecks
DDN’s Infinia and EXAScaler platforms are already optimized for NVIDIA DOCA-accelerated environments, giving customers a seamless path to leverage the power of NVIDIA BlueField-4.
By combining DDN’s data intelligence layer with NVIDIA BlueField-4 infrastructure acceleration, organizations can:
- Eliminate I/O bottlenecks and maximize GPU utilization for LLM training and real-time inference
- Automate data placement and movement across hybrid and edge environments
- Enforce zero-trust isolation and compliance through integrated security and tenant control
- Achieve faster time to insight with intelligent data orchestration from core to cloud
“NVIDIA BlueField-4 reimagines what’s possible in the AI factory — where data, compute, and intelligence merge into a single, self-optimizing system,” said Alex Bouzari, CEO and Co-Founder of DDN. “At DDN, we see this as the next leap forward in data evolution. By combining NVIDIA acceleration fabric with our data intelligence platform, we’re helping customers build the foundation for truly autonomous, high-performance AI at global scale.”
“Modern AI factories require a strategic foundation where data intelligence and infrastructure acceleration operate as one seamless, high-performance system,” said Charlie Boyle, vice president, DGX Systems, NVIDIA. “Integrated in DDN platforms, BlueField 4 DPUs deliver 800 Gb/s bandwidth and bare-metal security to meet the demanding data requirements of AI training and inference workloads, providing a turnkey platform that maximizes GPU utilization and unlocks the full potential of secure, gigascale AI deployments.”
Building the Foundation for Gigascale AI
For more than two decades, DDN has worked with NVIDIA to push the boundaries of high-performance computing and AI. As NVIDIA BlueField-4 enters production, DDN will deliver:
- Validated reference architectures combining NVIDIA BlueField-4 with DDN Infinia and EXAScaler platforms
- Software integration with NVIDIA DOCA to accelerate AI infrastructure and cybersecurity workloads
- Deployment blueprints for hyperscale AI factories, enterprise data centers, and sovereign AI initiatives
- Lifecycle optimization tools that provide visibility into data flow, utilization, and performance efficiency
“NVIDIA BlueField-4 enables the programmable, secure, and composable infrastructure AI workloads demand,” said Sven Oehme, CTO of DDN. “By pairing DDN’s data-aware storage architecture with NVIDIA BlueField acceleration, customers gain a turnkey foundation for AI at massive scale.”
