Teradata has unveiled its Enterprise Vector Store, an in-database solution designed to enhance vector data management, a critical component for implementing trusted agentic artificial intelligence (AI). This offering aims to process billions of vectors, integrating them seamlessly into existing enterprise systems with response times as swift as tens of milliseconds.
Vector stores are foundational for organizations aiming to leverage agentic AI. However, many existing solutions face challenges in balancing speed and data volume management. Teradata’s Enterprise Vector Store addresses these issues by combining rapid processing capabilities with the capacity to handle extensive unstructured datasets, especially when integrated with mission-critical structured data.
Louis Landry, Teradata’s Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the significance of this development, stating, “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.”

The Enterprise Vector Store is designed to support use cases requiring vector capabilities and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications. Its cost-efficient scaling and near-seamless integration are expected to help enterprises maximize value from unstructured data while optimizing expenditures. Additionally, the solution manages unstructured data in various formats—such as text, video, images, and PDFs—unifying both structured and unstructured data for comprehensive analysis.
Future plans include integrating NVIDIA NeMo Retriever microservices, part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, to enhance information retrieval accuracy and data privacy. This integration is anticipated to enable real-time business insights, allowing developers to fine-tune models for scalable document ingestion and RAG applications, thereby advancing the capabilities of agentic AI within enterprise environments.
Teradata‘s Enterprise Vector Store represents a significant advancement in data management, offering organizations a robust foundation for implementing trusted agentic AI solutions.
