Insights from the DoDIIS Worldwide 2026 executive briefing
As publicly and commercially available data reaches petabyte scale, centralized ingestion can’t keep up. This white paper draws on the executive briefing Ocient joined with Janes, Shadow Nexus and Carahsoft at DoDIIS Worldwide 2026. It shows how the Intelligence Community and Department of War can access data where it lives, govern AI at the data layer and keep every analytic output auditable.
Inside the paper
- The data gravity challenge: Why bulk replication breaks down at petabyte scale.
- Bringing compute to the data: How federated, zero-copy architectures speed analysis and respect allied data sovereignty.
- Governance and AI trustworthiness: Enforcing policy at the data layer and verifying model outputs.
- A 12–24 month roadmap: Four steps to pilot, govern, train and partner.
