Innovating to Create a Brighter Future
for AI, HPC and Big Data

Is HPC Innovation Dead?
► Big public companies are run by accountants focused on
quarterly results and the bottom line
► HPC is all about innovation and long term investments in
R&D (HPE ,IBM, Dell EMC spend 5-6% of revenue on
R&D - at DDN 16%+ of our revenue goes to R&D!)
► DDN’s pledge is to continue to invest for the long term, in
technology, innovation to solving HPC, AI and Big Data
problems at scale
