# DDN

A data intelligence and storage platform selling high-performance infrastructure for AI, HPC, and GPU-accelerated workloads.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → substitute to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** A buyer choosing DDN’s storage and data platform for their AI infrastructure could bypass Vercel’s deployment and AI cloud layer entirely, replacing the need for a frontend-focused AI cloud.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> DDN is the data intelligence platform behind AI factories, sovereign AI, hyperscalers, and the world’s most demanding GPU workloads

> advanced data intelligence platform

> DDN’s AI-native design unifies and accelerates AI pipelines, maximizing performance, cutting costs and accelerating ROI
