Established to highlight technological leadership in big data infrastructure, the Datanami Best Big Data Product or Technology Award in Storage recognizes DDN's revolutionary SFA14K purpose-built solutions, designed to deliver faster bottom line results by more intelligently, efficiently and cost-effectively scaling storage. The latest version, the SFA14KX, is the world's fastest hybrid, high-density storage platform, and delivers 60GB/s, 6 million IOPs and industry-leading density in a single 4U appliance.
