SOLUTION

For DataTables 1.10

Use page.info() to retrieve information about the table as shown below.

Property recordsTotal will hold total number of records in the table.

var table = $('#example').DataTable({
    "initComplete": function(settings, json){ 
        var info = this.api().page.info();
        console.log('Total records', info.recordsTotal);
        console.log('Displayed records', info.recordsDisplay);
    }
});

DEMO

See this jsFiddle for code and demonstration.

NOTES

This solution will work for both client-side and server-side processing modes as long as you use page.info() once data has been retrieved, for example in initComplete callback function.
