Solving Unprecedented Challenges For Over A Decade

Across the world, the digital content explosion is presenting organisations with unprecedented scaling challenges. The rapid growth of online, nearline and backup data pools has pushed general purpose storage systems beyond their capabilities and has forced a rethink across the data storage industry. According to industry analysts, 85% of all data being created today is unstructured data, a different type of data than traditional storage technology was designed to address.

Today, DDN Extreme Storage Platforms provide the data backbone for the world's most extreme, content-intensive environments, including Shutterfly.com, Microsoft XBOX LIVE, NASA, Reliance Studios, The Sanger Institute, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sony and Total SA - industry leaders continue to turn to DDN's award-winning technology as they prepare themselves for the unpredictable.
