Data infrastructure

Data infrastructure includes the platforms and systems that move, store, retrieve, govern and analyse information for software and AI workflows. It sits underneath both enterprise software and AI-native applications.

For AI systems, data infrastructure is no longer only a back-office architecture concern. Retrieval quality, permissions, lineage, freshness and observability directly affect output quality and risk.

Meridian studies the category as a bridge between private software formation and public-market infrastructure businesses. The useful question is which layers become durable control points, and which are absorbed by cloud platforms, databases or application vendors.
