Graph database provider Neo4j has launched a new distributed graph architecture, Infinigraph, that will combine both operational (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads across its databases to help enterprises adopt agent-based automation for analytics.    

The new architecture, which is currently available as part of Neo4j’s Enterprise Edition and will soon be available in AuraDB, uses sharding that distributes the graph’s property data across different members of a cluster.

“Enterprises are increasingly moving toward HTAP (Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing) to unify OLTP (operational) and OLAP (analytical) data. This convergence is becoming critical for enabling agentic AI, which depends on real-time decision-making,” said Devin Pratt, research director at IDC.
