DDN Acquires Intel's Lustre File System Business

Chatsworth-based DataDirect Networks (DDN), which develops data storage equipment and software, has acquired the Lustre File System business from Intel, according to DDN late Sunday evening. Financial details of the acquisition were not announced. DDN said the acquisition included both Intel's Lustre File Systems business and related assets. Intel's Lustre File System is heavily used in the cluster computing market, which DDN's storage hardware is also used. According to DDN, it will operate Intel's Lustre team as an autonomous division within DDN, and continue to offer "full and sustained support" of the Lustre customer and partner ecosystem. DDN said that division will be run by DDN's Senior VP, Robert Triendl.
