The Great Rewiring: Building Data Infrastructure for Truly Agentic AI

Building Data Infrastructure for Truly Agentic AIBeyond Legacy Systems: The Infrastructure Demands of Intelligent AgentsToday’s enterprise data architecture wasn’t designed for agentic AI. It was built for an era where data served as a historical record — static, compartmentalized, and primarily retrieved through explicit queries. As organizations rush to deploy increasingly sophisticated AI systems, many are discovering a fundamental mismatch between their existing data infrastructure and what truly intelligent agents require.What we’re witnessing isn’t merely a technical upgrade but a complete reconceptualization of how data infrastructure must function to support autonomous, context-aware systems that reason, plan, and evolve through experience.The Structural Impedance MismatchThe limitations of traditional data infrastructure become apparent when examining how large language models (LLMs) interact with enterprise knowledge.
