Hydrolix brings sub-second petabyte-scale analytics to AWS for agentic AI
Hydrolix now offers high-speed analytics for petabyte-scale agentic AI through AWS Marketplace, providing sub-second query responses from complete datasets. This solution, featuring a built-in stream processing engine, is particularly beneficial for media clients managing CDNs and web applications, as demonstrated by a case study with Nvidia to resolve a CDN incident using natural language querying.
Key Takeaways
- Delivers sub-second query latency on petabyte-scale datasets stored in object storage.
- Features a dedicated MCP server that translates natural language prompts into technical data queries.
- Integrated with Amazon Bedrock to support real-time ingestion and agentic AI orchestration.
- Resolved a live content delivery network incident in nine minutes during a trial with Nvidia Corp.
Why It Matters
This launch marks a shift from reactive monitoring to proactive, natural language-driven observability in high-volume video delivery. By eliminating the latency between data ingestion and AI-driven analysis, streaming platforms can resolve CDN failures or traffic spikes in minutes rather than hours. In the broader ecosystem, it positions Hydrolix as a critical data bridge within the Amazon Bedrock stack, competing against traditional log management providers that often struggle with the cost of storing petabyte-scale 'hot' data. Watch for whether this reduces mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) metrics for major streaming providers on the AWS Marketplace by at least 50% over the next two quarters.
Additional Context
The expansion follows Hydrolix's $80 million Series C funding round closed in April 2025, which was led by QED Investors and supported by Akamai Technologies. Per GeekWire, April 2025, the company grew annual recurring revenue by 800% in 2024, driven by demand for log data management in media, fintech, and security sectors. This growth highlights an industry-wide pivot toward 'streaming data lakes' that decouple storage from compute to keep massive datasets available for immediate AI interrogation without the traditional cost penalties of indexing. Hydrolix further solidified its position in the media sector by winning a 'Best of Show' award at the NAB Show 2026 for its CDN Insights solution. Per EINPresswire, April 2026, the tool is currently utilized by major media organizations to manage performance across multiple global CDN providers simultaneously. The platform's ability to handle billions of daily events without data sampling is a direct response to the increasing complexity of multi-CDN architectures used for live sports and global streaming events. The integration with AWS Bedrock aligns with Amazon’s recent push into agentic autonomous systems. Per AWS News Blog, April 2026, the cloud provider recently added support for OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and managed agentic orchestration via Bedrock. By serving as the data layer for these agents, Hydrolix enables specialized AI assistants to perform end-to-end remediation—such as autonomously re-routing traffic during a regional outage—without human intervention, a capability demonstrated by telecommunications partners like AT&T and BT at DTW Ignite 2026.
