This interview presents Alex Bouzari of DataDirect Networks, abbreviated to DDN thereafter. Bouzari is the chief executive officer and discusses how DDN's data engine underpins modern artificial intelligence, abbreviated to AI thereafter, factories, sovereign AI deployments and enterprise transformation. They draw on DDN's high performance computing heritage and outline strategies for maximizing graphics processing unit utilization harmonizing data pipelines and supporting agentic workloads. theCUBE Research frames the discussion with hosts John Furrier and Dave Vellante at the NYSE Wired studio. Bouzari highlights the centrality of the data layer for monetizing AI and converting tokens into business value. They emphasize DDN's role in driving GPU productivity enabling sovereign infrastructure and delivering non-disruptive enterprise adoption with improved cost-per-token economics. Analysts observe that agentic workloads and tighter compute and data integration demand novel architectures and software-driven data engines.

Alex Bouzari, DDN
June 10, 2026
Alex Bouzari
CEO DDN
In this interview from theCUBE + NYSE Wired: AI Factories - Data Centers of the Future, Alex Bouzari, chief executive officer of DataDirect Networks, joins theCUBE's Dave Vellante to discuss how the AI factory era is transforming GPU infrastructure into a measurable profit engine. Bouzari frames the AI economy as bifurcated: organizations where GPUs run at peak efficiency and generate real financial returns, and those where they sit idle — with DDN's data layer as the decisive factor separating the two. He highlights that DDN now powers seven of the 10 larges... Read more
