# Ocient Architecture

export const OcientDataIntelligencePlatform = "OcientAIQ™ Unified Data Platform";

export const CASA = "Compute Adjacent Storage Architecture®";

The {OcientDataIntelligencePlatform} is a modern, scalable distributed system capable of enabling complex OLAP-style analysis on the world’s largest structured and semi-structured data sets using SQL. It features a purpose-built storage and an input and output layer designed for highly parallel interaction with modern NVMe SSD drives in a {CASA} (CASA) that leverages erasure coding for cost-efficient reliability.

On top of this is a fully integrated execution engine and optimizer that were each built from scratch using modern design principles in a manner that deeply integrates with the storage and I/O layer. The result is a state-of-the-art data warehouse that can deliver outstanding, and even unprecedented, analytical capability on data sets with record sets numbering in the trillions, quadrillions, and beyond.
