Your data model is fast becoming AI infrastructure. As enterprises deploy agents and LLMs, tried and trusted data models are providing the structure and context AI needs to understand what corporate data really means. Sometimes called ontologies, these proven constructs are trending again because of the critical role they play in grounding Enterprise AI. Register for this special episode of DM Rad...

As AI moves into an increasingly agentic era, enterprises need more than powerful models - they need trusted data, meaningful context, and control over how AI systems access and use information. Join this episode of DMRadio as Adam Gunther of Vertica at Rocket Software discusses how the company's MCP server connects LLMs directly to enterprise data, while Vertica's analytics and in-database machin...

AI agents may be new, but the data problems they encounter are not. Before an agent can answer a question or take action, it needs to know what data exists, what it means, and how trustworthy it is. A single errant join, stale table, ambiguous definition, or missing access rule can quietly turn an otherwise capable agent into a confident source of bad decisions. And when agents string multiple ste...

As AI moves from experimentation to enterprise deployment, the bottleneck is shifting from compute to the data infrastructure that powers it.

The forcing function of AI continues to reshape how organizations think about data architecture. It's no longer enough to simply centralize information in warehouses and lakes. AI systems require context, lineage, relationships, governance, and semantic understanding to deliver trustworthy outcomes at scale. The solution? An AI-ready knowledge architecture. On this episode of DM Radio, we'll exami...

AI agents are now standard in enterprise workflows but most organizations have no idea they've created a governance time bomb. When agents connect to Salesforce, Snowflake, Tableau, and a dozen other systems through separate MCPs, the result is a fragmented audit trail with no single record of who accessed what data, under whose authorization, or how an answer was generated. Under GDPR, HIPAA, SOX...

A mass extinction event approaches, but not because of a meteor or global warming. The culprit this time is AI, and in particular, Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Claude. In their crosshairs are a slew of vendors selling analytical functionality: dashboards, visualizations, analyses, semantic layers, OLAP cubes and the like. For decades, these vendors have dominated enterprise decision-maki...

Join this episode of DM Radio to learn from former Space Force CDO Mark Brady, along with Hammerspace CEO David Flynn, and D...

The first generation of data pipelines was built for humans. They moved data. They often broke. Engineers stepped in to fix them. While that world still exists, it now shares the stage with something far more demanding. Today, machines and AI systems are first-class consumers of data. The workload requirements are exploding, rendering the manually tuned, hand-patched pipelines woefully insufficien...
