The data activation layer for AI, apps and analytics.

DataOS seamlessly integrates with what you have, unifying data, context, governance and discoverability through reusable, outcome-driven data products.  Powered by the first operating system for data.

AI-Ready Data Layer
Data Products:
AI-native by design

Outcome-driven: Every DataOS data product carries context, quality, lineage, governance, and APIs.

Ready for action: Built to directly power AI and applications, not just reporting.

Designed for reuse: Extend to new use cases without rework. Manage data like software.

Semantic Model:
Shared context for people and AI

Set once, use everywhere: Business meaning and metrics stay consistent across data products.

Unified meaning: Combine multiple data products into shared business understanding across the organization.

Agent-ready: Give AI agents the context they need to reason, act, and adapt over time.

Governance:
Built-in trust at enterprise scale

Defined once: Access controls, compliance rules, and usage policies are part of each data product, no afterthoughts.

Enforced automatically: Policies apply everywhere data is used. No manual steps or compliance gaps.

Safe for teams and AI: Directly enable people and AI to use data confidently within clear guardrails.

Access & Delivery:
Consumption-ready and MCP-native

Interfaces included: Every data product includes APIs and connectors for AI, applications, automation, and analytics.

No extra build: Connect data products directly without creating or maintaining custom pipelines.

Works everywhere: Data behaves consistently whether accessed by dashboards, AI agents, or operational systems.

Cost Optimization:
Cut costs and
increase ROI

Reduce software spend: Replace or eliminate fragmented point solutions across the data stack.

Optimize storage and compute: Improve efficiency 
with intelligent workload management.

Simplify operations: Eliminate integration complexity and lower data operations costs.

Deployment:
Run anywhere,
on your terms

Layers into existing infrastructure: Start getting value immediately. No rip and replace.

Deploy where you need: Any cloud environment. DataOS adapts to your infrastructure, not the other way around.

Security native: Meet regulatory and compliance requirements without platform workarounds.

Frequently Asked
Questions

1. What is DataOS?

Think of DataOS for data the way you think of an operating system for your computer. Your OS doesn't replace your apps. It gives them a shared foundation: memory, file management, security, a common language. DataOS is that activation layer for your data infrastructure, the foundation that makes everything in your stack work together with shared context, governance, and intelligence.

DataOS isa data management platform from The Modern Data Company. It layers over your existing data stack, working with platforms like Snowflake, Data bricks, and BigQuery, without requiring migration. The core unit of DataOS is the data product: a governed, reusable, and ready-to-use data asset that teams can build, manage, and activate for analytics, AI, and agentic workflows out of the box.

Unlike traditional data management platforms, DataOS doesn't ask you to rip and replace anything. It works with what you have, adding the activation layer your stack is missing.

2. How does DataOS integrate with existing data infrastructure?

DataOS integrates seamlessly with existing data infrastructure without requiring rip-and-replace. It layers over other platforms like cloud warehouses, lake houses, and data catalogs to add context, governance, and activation capabilities. Organizations can retain their current investments while gaining a unified data product layer.

3. What is a data product in DataOS?

Data products in DataOS are outcome-driven, reusable units of data that are self-contained and versioned. Each data product bundles data, transformation logic, a semantic model, quality contracts, access policies, governance, and consumption APIs into a single platform-managed unit. They are reusable building blocks for analytics, applications, and AI.

4. How does DataOS handle data governance and compliance?

DataOS embeds governance directly into every data product. This includes attribute-based access controls, data contracts, SLO monitoring, and a comprehensive governance framework. Governance is enforced automatically rather than applied manually, which means compliance scales with usage without creating bottlenecks.

5. What is the DataOS semantic layer?

The DataOS unified semantic layer defines a shared business understanding of data across the organization. It uses active metadata management to standardize definitions, metrics, and relationships so that all consumers, whether dashboards, applications, or AI systems, operate on consistent and trusted data.

6. How does DataOS compare to traditional data platforms?

Traditional data platforms focus on storing and processing data. DataOS focuses on activating it.

DataOS enables organizations to move from data availability to data usability. By standardizing how data products are built, governed, and exposed, it reduces the time required to take data from raw ingestion to business consumption. This allows teams to deliver analytics, applications, and AI use cases faster, with less duplication and rework.

7. How long does it take to deploy DataOS?

DataOS is designed to deliver value quickly, within weeks without disrupting existing systems. It integrates with current infrastructure, so there is no need for migration or replacement of core platforms. Proof of Value deployments are production-ready and can begin delivering business outcomes in days to weeks.

8. Does DataOS support AI and machine learning workloads?

Yes. DataOS ensures AI systems and agents use data that is consistently defined, governed, and reliable through data products with built-in semantics and quality controls. These data products are directly accessible via REST, GraphQL, and SQL, and are exposed through MCP (Model Context Protocol), allowing modern AI tools and assistants to discover and interact with them within existing development workflows.

9. What results do organizations see with DataOS?

Organizations using DataOS report up to 90% faster time to insight, 70% faster reporting through standardized metrics, and up to 50% savings on total data costs. Data engineering teams spend less time rebuilding pipelines and more time building new capabilities because data products are reusable across use cases.
