The generative AI boom has created a voracious appetite for data. But behind the headline-grabbing models lies an unseen challenge: the sheer demand of processing it all. In the second half of 2025 alone, Veritone processed 22.2 trillion tokens of unstructured data. To build a system that can handle that exponential growth without buckling, you need more than just more servers; you need a new architectural foundation.
That’s why we’ve entered a new phase at Veritone, announcing a strategic partnership with Oracle to accelerate enterprise AI and AI data economy initiatives across commercial and public sector industries and the AI data training market. We’ll be leveraging Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to help meet our customers’ massive AI infrastructure challenges, combining Veritone’s expertise in processing unstructured, multi-modal data with Oracle’s high-performance cloud infrastructure.
Fueling the Enterprise AI Engine
AI runs on data, but it’s built on infrastructure. Processing, analyzing, and indexing trillions of data points from audio, video, and text sources requires immense computational power. As enterprise adoption of AI accelerates, the demand for scalable, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure is growing exponentially.
For Veritone, which provides our aiWARE operating system to some of the world’s most demanding commercial and public sector organizations—including ESPN, the NCAA, CBS News, and the U.S. Department of War—addressing this challenge is central to our mission. Our customers rely on us to ingest massive amounts of unstructured data and run it through various AI processes (like transcription, object detection, and sentiment analysis) critical to their operations. Given these requirements, a robust multi-cloud infrastructure is necessary to allow us to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation and meet the exponential growth ahead.
A Strategic Partnership for Unmatched Scale
Our commitment to an open, multi-cloud ecosystem means we select partners that offer specific best-in-class advantages for our customers. Our decision to grow our partnership with Oracle and leverage OCI was a strategic one, designed to meet the specific demands of enterprise AI and provide our customers with greater choice. OCI delivers high-performance AI infrastructure purpose-built for large-scale training and inference workloads. With RDMA-based, ultra-low-latency networking, OCI helps customers run distributed AI workloads with the speed and efficiency required for today’s most demanding models.
This architecture provides Veritone with the ability to scale our AI processing capabilities on demand, designed so that as our customers’ data grows, our ability to process it grows seamlessly alongside them. By building on OCI, we are expanding our capacity and future-proofing our platform on infrastructure engineered for the intense demands of the AI era.
What This Means for Veritone Customers
This new partnership with Oracle expands our multi-cloud strategy for our commercial and public sector, and Veritone Data Refinery (VDR) customers, giving them more choices when it comes to cloud providers.
This new collaboration complements our existing infrastructure, allowing us to deliver enhanced benefits in three principal areas:
- Smarter, Faster Content for Media and Entertainment: For our partners like the NCAA, CBS News, and ESPN, managing and monetizing massive content archives is a monumental task. By running on OCI, we’re enhancing our Digital Media Hub (DMH) to make it faster than ever. This means broadcasters can find the exact clip they need in an instant, analyze hours of video content in a fraction of the time, and get personalized content to their audiences without delay. It’s about delivering more value from their archives and ensuring the platform can handle the biggest moments in sports and news without skipping a beat.
- Solid Security for the Public Sector: When it comes to processing critical evidence for law enforcement or handling data for agencies like the U.S. Department of War, security isn’t just a feature—it’s everything. OCI’s infrastructure is secure by design and meets federal standards (CJIS compliant and FedRAMP High authorized), providing a trusted foundation for our Intelligent Digital Evidence Management System (iDEMS). This partnership strengthens our commitment to data protection, enabling agencies to modernize their workflows with the confidence that their sensitive information is shielded by strong security measures at every level.
- Fueling the AI Data Economy: High-quality AI starts with high-quality training data. With OCI, VDR can transform raw, unstructured data into valuable, AI-ready datasets more rapidly and cost-effectively. This efficiency boost means we can get better data into the hands of the world’s leading AI developers faster, helping to drive the entire industry forward. It translates to better price-performance, making it possible for us to deliver more value and accelerate innovation for everyone building the next generation of AI.
Building the Future of Enterprise AI
By combining Veritone’s advanced aiWARE operating system with the scale of OCI, we are creating a formidable platform capable of meeting the demands of today and tomorrow. This partnership reinforces our commitment to an open, multi-cloud strategy, helping ensure that our customers always have access to the best-in-class technology needed to succeed.
We are excited about this next chapter and look forward to building the future of AI in partnership with Oracle and our valued customers.
