KGNN's architecture is a Power-Native, Schema-less Knowledge Graph platform that automatically ingests, structures, and contextualizes disparate data sources (Auto ETL and Semantic Data Mapping) into a single, AI-ready data layer. This approach, which operates on-prem and is optimized for IBM Power's Matrix Math Accelerator (MMA) without requiring GPUs, directly addresses the need for secure, traceable, and low-latency AI, which is critical in regulated environments.
Pain Points and PowerGraph Benefits by Industry
| Industry | Primary Pain Point | PowerGraph (KGNN) Benefit with AI Automation |
| Financial Services | Fragmented Fraud Detection (AML/KYC): Siloed data (transactions, communications, user profiles) makes identifying complex, non-obvious criminal networks slow and manually intensive. | Automated Link Analysis and Contextualization: KGNN automatically connects disparate data into a single graph, enabling real-time pattern detection for anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance. It uncovers hidden relationships and complex schemes faster than traditional systems. |
| Regulatory Reporting & Audit: The manual effort and time required to aggregate, validate, and report evidence for regulations like SOX, DORA, and PCI-DSS is immense and error-prone. | Traceable, Audit-Ready AI: KGNN provides full data provenance and a semantically rich structure that directly supports the explainability and traceability needed for AI-driven risk models and compliance reporting, cutting down on manual audit preparation time. | |
| AI Explainability for Credit/Risk Models: The inability to explain why an AI model made a specific lending or risk decision (black box AI) creates massive regulatory risk. | Explainable Intelligence: The graph structure inherently provides context and paths for AI decisions, transforming black-box results into transparent, justifiable actions by showing the connected data that led to the result. | |
| Healthcare | Patient Data Silos (EHR/IoT/Genomics): Critical patient data is fragmented across different electronic health records (EHR), medical devices, and research systems, delaying real-time decision-making. | Real-Time Data Fusion for Clinical Insights: KGNN unifies all data sources into a comprehensive patient knowledge graph, providing clinicians and AI models with a holistic, real-time view of a patient's context for faster, more accurate diagnostics and treatment planning. |
| HIPAA/HITECH Compliance & Data Sovereignty: Strict requirements for protecting sensitive patient data (PHI) and the need to process this data securely on-premises to ensure data sovereignty. | Secure, On-Premise AI at the Edge: As a Power-Native solution, KGNN runs efficiently on-prem on IBM Power 10/11 (utilizing MMA), ensuring PHI remains within the organization's secure network boundary, maintaining compliance without reliance on external cloud services. | |
| Clinical Trial Relationship Mapping: Analyzing connections between drugs, patient demographics, clinical results, and researchers is a massive manual task. | Accelerated Research and Drug Discovery: The graph platform automates the mapping of these complex relationships, speeding up the analysis of clinical trial data to find subtle correlations and accelerate drug development. | |
| Government/Defense | Cross-Domain Data Integration: Difficulty fusing massive, disparate, and often sensitive datasets (text, imagery, logs) from multiple intelligence sources for rapid situational awareness. | Automated, Cross-Domain Data Unification: KGNN's Auto ETL and self-generating knowledge graph rapidly fuses structured and unstructured data, delivering a unified, actionable intelligence picture to analysts in near real-time, which is crucial for military intelligence and cybersecurity. |
| Deploying AI to the Edge/Tactical Environment: The need for sophisticated AI and video analytics (like Equitus's EVS) to run in air-gapped, remote, or resource-constrained environments without cloud access or heavy GPUs. | AI-at-the-Edge Enabler: Optimized for the IBM Power 10/11 MMA, KGNN and EVS run lean and fast at the edge, providing real-time AI inferencing on-site for tasks like object detection and threat analysis while maintaining private and secure operations. | |
| Traceability and Accountability (Intel Provenance): In military and intelligence operations, every decision and piece of intelligence must be fully traceable to its source for validation and audit. | Full Data Provenance and Traceability: The graph structure inherently records the relationships and origin of every data point, offering full traceability and accountability for intelligence gathering and decision support systems. |

What are the key benefits of IBM Power11?
KGNN Software Architecture for IBM Power 10/11
Equitus KGNN is built as an AI-Ready Data Unification Platform with a focus on enterprise-grade performance, security, and traceability on the IBM Power platform.
Power-Native Optimization: KGNN is specifically built to run natively on IBM Power10/11 hardware, directly leveraging the on-chip Matrix Math Accelerators (MMA). This allows it to perform complex neural network and graph computations at high speed without relying on costly, power-intensive GPUs.
Automated Data Structuring: It employs Automated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) and Autonomous Semantic Data Mapping to ingest raw data (structured, unstructured, logs, PDFs) and automatically identify, clean, and connect entities and relationships. This eliminates the massive pain point of manual data preparation.
Schema-less Knowledge Graph: The platform builds a self-generating knowledge graph that does not require a fixed, predefined schema. This makes it highly flexible and scalable, capable of integrating new, evolving datasets without requiring constant rework and refactoring.
AI-Ready Output: The graph data is automatically transformed into a semantically rich, machine-readable format, outputting vectorized graph data ready for use in advanced AI applications, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines for Large Language Models (LLMs). This ensures the AI is grounded in the organization's trusted, contextualized data.
Microservices/Open Architecture: The platform is comprised of a family of Kubernetes-based interconnected micro-services (often deployed with Red Hat OpenShift), allowing for rapid deployment, flexible scaling, and integration with existing enterprise tools and applications.
