Open Innovation AI, a global provider of Sovereign AI orchestration and application solutions, has announced a strategic collaboration with DDN, the global leader in AI and data intelligence solutions, has been recognized with numerous industry awards for its innovation in AI and data storage. The company delivers scalable, sovereign AI infrastructure designed to power the most data-intensive workloads.
The collaboration integrates Open Innovation AI’s orchestration and MLOps platform, OICM (Open Innovation Cluster Manager), with DDN’s high-performance platform architecture, creating a unified software-defined environment for large-scale model training, inference, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workloads.
The joint stack enables enterprises and public-sector organizations to deploy Sovereign AI systems across on-premises and cloud environments, combining compute orchestration, data intelligence, and application-level AI in a single, controllable layer.
AI at scale is a data challenge
Connecting the Data Layer and the Control Layer
With OICM and DDN’s AI infrastructure, we are bridging critical gaps between AI compute, data, and orchestration.
Customers gain:
- Seamless Data Mobility: OICM dynamically provisions and manages GPU clusters across hybrid environments, while DDN provides the sustained throughput required for continuous model training and inference.
- Automated AI Operations: Through OICM’s built-in MLOps capabilities, organizations can deploy, monitor, and optimize AI workloads directly on top of DDN-powered infrastructure.
Designed for Scale, Built for Sovereignty
This powerful combination allows SPs, Telcos, Enterprises, and Government Entities to operate on a massive scale without sacrificing control over data or infrastructure.
Together, Open Innovation AI and DDN deliver:
- Performance at Scale: Accelerated data throughput for AI and HPC workloads, enabling faster model training, smoother inference, and more efficient GPU utilization.
- Sovereign Deployment Options: On-prem and hybrid architectures with full compliance.
- Operational Efficiency: Centralized management of data, models, and agents through OICM.
- Sustainability and Cost Control: Optimized resource utilization across compute and storage layers.
Our partnership with DDN strengthens the Sovereign AI stack by delivering the speed, security, and scalability required to manage massive datasets while ensuring full control and data sovereignty for our customers.
Our collaboration with Open Innovation AI brings unmatched data performance and AI innovation together, giving organizations the scale, security, and speed to fully harness their data.
The collaboration highlights the shared vision of both companies: to provide secure, high-performance, and sovereign AI infrastructure for customers operating in high-trust, data-intensive environments.
