DDN, known also as DDN Storage, presents itself now as The AI Data Company and we understand why. DDN joined the recent IT Press Tour in California and it was the right opportunity to get an update on their classic HPC business, their fast growing AI activity and also their enterprise entity with Tintri, IntelliFlash and Nexenta technologies. So being in Paris a few weeks ago I decided to interview Paul Bloch, founder of the company with Alex Bouzari in 1998. As president and founder, Paul has a special view of the market, understands perfectly what is currently developed and also knows the current business situation. So together we spoke about the market of course, competition, their HPC and AI businesses, their product line and development, an update on the go-to-market strategy and pricing model and we covered also some future directions. A very dense exchange with lots of informations from Paul. Enjoy the listening. Thank you Paul.
