Accelerate Quant & Risk Analytics
No Cloud Lock-In, No Data Tax

In today’s fast-moving financial environment, acting on risk in real time isn’t a luxury – it’s essential. From high-frequency trading and Intraday exposure management to instant fraud detection and regulatory reporting, financial institutions must make high-stakes decisions with speed, compliance, and precision. Yet, legacy batch-based systems, skyrocketing cloud egress fees, and inefficient infrastructure continue to drag down agility and inflate operational costs.

DDN’s Al Data Intelligence Platform replaces outdated, overnight reporting cycles with real-time, in-place risk analytics, delivering actionable insight while data is still live. Trusted by global leaders in finance and AI, DDN empowers quant teams, high-frequency trading firms, broker-dealers, hedge funds, and banks to cut risk exposure windows, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and improve return on Investment (ROI) without rewriting existing pipelines or moving a byte of date.

Key Business Challenges

Challenge Impact
Cloud egress costs up to $900/TB per day Inflated Infrastructure and data movement expenses
3+ hour batch pipelines Delayed alerts, missed trades, and unhedged exposures
Under-utilized GPU/CPU infrastructure Stalled fraud detection models and wasted Al investment
Manual compliance processes High audit overhead and governance risk
Latency and data movement slow high-frequency trades Reduced profitability and lower returns
