DDN Launches IndustrySync Pipelines for Financial Services and Life Sciences AI

SAN JOSE, Calif. - NVIDIA GTC - March 16, 2026 -DDN, the world's leading AI data platform provider, today launched two new IndustrySync Pipelines. The pipelines - validated, industry-specific AI blueprints, initially available in the Financial Services and Life Sciences verticals - can be deployed on existing customer infrastructure in days rather than months. The pipelines are aligned to industry-specific business outcomes, running seamlessly on DDN and NVIDIA's validated, fully orchestrated technology stack.

IndustrySync Pipelines are pre-integrated, production-validated workflows that are available immediately for DDN Enterprise AI HyperPOD deployments, with available expansion to NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD & NVIDIA HGX environments, as well as sovereign AI factories. Each pipeline is designed as a flexible, extensible foundation - built to adapt to your specific environment, data, and workflows.

"Enterprises are not limited by AI models-they are limited by how quickly they can operationalize AI infrastructure and data to achieve the promise of AI- assisted business outcomes," said Alex Bouzari, CEO and Co-Founder at DDN. "IndustrySync Pipelines provide a validated path from experimentation to production AI in a matter of days, so every enterprise can move from experimenting with AI to running it in an accelerated manner."

"Supermicro has collaborated closely with DDN and NVIDIA on developing the HyperPOD, an AI Data Platform solution which combines GPU-accelerated compute with DDN's data platform software," said Vik Malyala, President & Managing Director EMEA, SVP Technology & AI, Supermicro. "The integrated HyperPOD solution using Supermicro servers with the IndustrySync solutions are a perfect complement to provide ready-to-run industry-specific AI solutions for these and future workflows."

IndustrySync Financial Services Pipeline

The DDN IndustrySync Financial Services (FSI) Pipeline enables financial institutions to operationalize AI-driven risk intelligence at market speed, transforming how capital is modeled, managed, and optimized.

Business Outcomes

• Up to 150× faster risk simulations, converting overnight batch jobs into continuously updated intraday intelligence
• Expected shortfall and risk regime calculations refreshed every five minutes across all GPUs
• Faster response to market volatility with real-time capital and liquidity insights
• Accelerated move from AI experimentation to production deployment - in days, not months
• Deterministic performance and built-in governance to meet strict regulatory and risk requirements
• Immediate infrastructure readiness with a data layer operational from day one

By eliminating infrastructure complexity and performance bottlenecks, IndustrySync allows institutions to focus on what drives competitive advantage: faster decisions, improved capital efficiency, and measurable shareholder value.

IndustrySync Life Sciences Pipeline

The DDN IndustrySync Life Sciences Pipeline is a production-ready blueprint, built on NVIDIA industry reference architectures and integrated with NVIDIA BioNeMo, enabling research institutions to operationalize AI-driven drug discovery at scale.

Research & Business Impact

• Accelerates genomics, protein structure analysis, and foundation model workflows
• Shortens time from data ingestion to model training and inference
• Reduces time-to-insight for therapeutic candidate discovery
• Enables multi-modal biomedical AI at production scale
• Eliminates infrastructure rebuilds between experimentation and deployment
• Deployment completed in days, not months

Operational Advantages

• Integrated high-performance storage and GPU acceleration
• Deterministic performance from day one
• Scalable architecture validated for production environments
• Removes data bottlenecks that slow AI-driven discovery

By removing infrastructure complexity and enabling predictable, high-performance execution, IndustrySync allows researchers to focus on accelerating scientific breakthroughs rather than managing systems.

Expanding Industry AI Deployment

DDN plans to expand IndustrySync Pipelines throughout 2026 with additional industry workflows, including expanded financial services use cases and intelligent video and surveillance pipelines.

"Enterprises are not limited by AI models, they are limited by how quickly they can operationalize data and infrastructure," said Alex Bouzari, CEO and Co-Founder at DDN."IndustrySync Pipelines

provide a validated path from experimentation to production AI, so every enterprise can move from experimenting with AI to running it."

Early Adopter Program now open: Apply today. To accelerate customer adoption, DDN is launching a 90-day IndustrySync Financial Services Early Adopter Program, allowing select institutions to deploy and evaluate the pipeline in their own environments ahead of general availability. Participants receive:

• Deployment of the IndustrySync FSI Risk Pipeline on HyperPOD
• A 500TB DDN Infinia license during the evaluation period
• Integration support with existing data and compute environments
• Direct collaboration with DDN's enterprise AI engineering team

Applications are now open at ddn.com/financial-ai-pipeline. Availability is limited.

Apply for the early adopter program at ddn.com/financial-ai-pipeline/, and visit the DDN Booth #1621 at GTC.
