Get Started with the OcientAIQ Unified Data Platform
Welcome to Ocient documentation. Find setup guides, SQL references, machine learning, geospatial features, integrations, and operations for the platform.
The OcientAIQ™ Unified Data Platform is a petabyte-scale data platform that brings AI, analytics, and high-performance query execution directly to enterprise data. Rather than requiring you to move, copy, or sample large data sets across fragmented systems, the platform unifies data ingest, query optimization, security, and governance in a single platform. Agents, applications, and analysts connect to the platform to work with governed enterprise data in place.The platform supports both structured and semi-structured data, giving AI and analytical workloads access to richer context without additional data pipelines. The platform continuously ingests high-volume data so that it is available for queries and AI-driven workflows as it arrives. Built-in access controls, auditability, and compliance features protect data across every interaction — whether the consumer is a human analyst, a BI tool, or an AI agent.You can deploy the platform in the environment that fits your operational, security, and data-sovereignty requirements. The following sections introduce the core concepts that define how data is stored, organized, and executed within the OcientAIQ Unified Data Platform.
