It’s awards season! While we haven’t snagged a Golden Globe or landed an Oscar nomination (yet!), Ocient is thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded the 2024 Fierce Network Innovation Award for Sustainability.
The Fierce Network Innovation Awards recognize the creators, makers, and doers of outstanding wireless, broadband, and cloud services and equipment unveiled over the past year. This prestigious honor highlights the transformative impact of the Ocient Hyperscale Data Warehouse™ (OHDW) on sustainability and cost-effective innovation—particularly in the telecommunications sector.
A Testament to Sustainability and Innovation
This award underscores Ocient’s dedication to developing cutting-edge solutions that prioritize environmental responsibility while simplifying operations for our customers.
Whether you’re a data scientist diving into always-on, compute-intensive analytics or an enterprise leader focused on driving efficiencies in energy, infrastructure, and costs, Ocient’s resource-conscious software solutions are designed to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.
Why the Ocient Hyperscale Data Warehouse™ Stands Out
Enterprises across industries, including telecommunications, are generating and analyzing data at an unprecedented scale. This growth brings increasing costs, energy demands, and infrastructure challenges—not to mention the added complexity of preparing massive datasets for AI workflows.
Ocient’s OHDW tackles these issues head-on with a revolutionary platform already in use by a tier-one North American telecom provider.
Here’s what makes the OHDW shine:
- Compute Adjacent Storage Architecture™ (CASA)
- By placing compute adjacent to storage, CASA eliminates the remote object storage tier used by cloud data warehouses, removing network bottlenecks and enabling rapid data access.
- This architecture delivers 420x more data bandwidth using 1/10th the number of drives (or cloud instances) compared to traditional remote storage architectures.
- Zero Copy Reliability™
- Forward error correction and parity coding ensure reliability and accuracy without 2x-3x data replication, reducing system footprint and maximizing hardware resources.
- TimeKey Clustering and Comprehensive Indexing
- With advanced indexing options like TimeKey clustering, geospatial, hash, n-gram, and inverted indexes, query performance is boosted by up to 300x with minimal capacity overhead.
- Ocient Megalane™
- Ocient Megalane optimizes compute-intensive workloads by enabling massive parallelism with standard industry hardware and cloud instances, unlocking unparalleled efficiency.
- Native Support for Advanced Workflows
- The OHDW supports ETL/ELT processes, predictive AI, machine learning, and more within a single solution, reducing complexity and the energy costs associated with multi-point systems.
Sustainable Solutions for Telecommunications
Driven by the demands of 5G, IoT, and surging consumer data, the telecommunications industry is advancing at lightning speed. However, this rapid innovation comes with challenges: how to manage and analyze massive datasets efficiently and sustainably.
Ocient helps telcos address these challenges by:
- Reducing Energy Demands
- Telcos can significantly cut energy consumption without sacrificing performance.
- Optimizing Network Analytics
- From real-time call data analysis to enhancing network efficiency, the OHDW empowers telcos to streamline operations and eliminate inefficiencies.
- Enabling 6G Capabilities and Beyond
- Ocient’s solutions provide the foundation for sustainable growth and next-generation technology advancements.
Looking Ahead
Winning the Fierce Network Innovation Award is not just a recognition of Ocient’s industry-leading capabilities—it’s a call to action for continued innovation.
At Ocient, we’re committed to fostering partnerships within telecommunications, supporting enterprises with large-scale analytics needs, and setting new standards for efficient data solutions. Our mission is rooted in sustainable scalability, helping businesses achieve digital transformation while maximizing efficiencies in cost, energy, and resources.
