Teradata launches new solution for efficiently handling vector data for agentic AI use cases

Teradata, a provider of data analytics solutions, today announced a new database offering for managing vector data.

Teradata Enterprise Vector Store manages unstructured data in multi-modal formats like text, video, images, and PDFs. It can process billions of vectors and integrate them into pre-existing systems, and offers response times in the tens of milliseconds. 

According to the company, vector stores are an important foundation for agentic AI, but many vector stores require organizations to make tradeoffs, such as getting fast results, but only for small data sets, or being able to handle large vector volumes, but not at the speed required by agentic AI use cases. 

“Vector stores are at the root of how we bind truth to generative AI models and agentic AI. They are essential to any data management practice, but their impact is limited when they are slow or siloed,” said Louis Landry, CTO of Teradata. “Teradata’s long-standing expertise in high concurrency and linear scale, as well as the critical ability to harmonize data and support RAG, means Teradata Enterprise Vector Store delivers on the dynamic, trusted foundation large organizations need for agentic AI.”

Key features of Teradata Enterprise Vector Store include: 

  • Full life cycle management of vector data, from embedding generation to intelligent search
  • Processing data within Teradata, with flexible deployment options to cloud, on-premises, or hybrid
  • Support for AI frameworks like LangChain
  • Temporal vector embedding capabilities, which tracks changes to data over time to improve trust and explainability. 

The company plans to integrate this offering with NVIDIA NeMo Retriever microservices, which will provide customers with a highly accurate information retrieval solution that preserves data privacy.  

“Data is essential to accurate inference for AI applications,” said Pat Lee, vice president of strategic enterprise partnerships at NVIDIA. “Teradata Enterprise Vector Store, integrated with NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA NeMo Retriever, can unlock the institutional knowledge stored in PDFs and other unstructured documents to power intelligent AI agents.”

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?...

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
