The Ocient Data Intelligence Platform™ is built to support analytics and AI workloads on petabyte- to exabyte-scale data sets. Designed for both human users and AI agents, the platform enables organizations to query, analyze, and act on large-scale data directly — without distributing workloads across multiple systems.

Modern data architectures often separate data warehouses, data lakes, machine learning platforms, and other systems, requiring data movement and complex pipelines. This fragmentation introduces latency, increases cost, and limits the ability of AI systems to operate reliably. The Ocient® Data Intelligence Platform addresses this by unifying data ingest, analytics, and AI execution within a single platform, ensuring all workloads operate on consistent, current data.

With this unified approach, the Ocient Data Intelligence Platform delivers predictable performance, reduced infrastructure complexity, and a scalable foundation for real-time analytics and production AI.

The Ocient Data Intelligence Platform exposes this unified platform through familiar interfaces such as SQL, enabling humans and AI agents to query and act on data directly. While the platform abstracts much of the underlying complexity, its performance and scalability are driven by a distributed architecture optimized for large-scale data processing. The following sections introduce the core concepts that define how data is stored, organized, and executed within Ocient.
