Teradata announced a new collaboration with NVIDIA to enhance the Teradata
Vantage platform with NVIDIA AI to benefit large, global organizations
that leverage both public and/or private clouds.
Teradata is integrating NVIDIA NeMo and NVIDIA NIM microservices
into the Vantage platform to accelerate AI workloads and support the
development of foundation and customized large language models (LLMs),
agentic workflows and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications.
Customers can also deploy their own custom models through NVIDIA AI Enterprise,
an end-to-end software platform that offers enterprise-grade security,
support and stability, to drive ROI from generative AI use cases.
In
addition to multiple NVIDIA software integrations, Teradata's platform
will offer NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure. The first
implementation of this effort was announced today as part of Teradata's
new support for both small language models (SLMs) and open LLMs in
VantageCloud Lake. The new bring-your-own LLM capability can take advantage of NVIDIA AI accelerated computing platform clusters for tasks like LLM inferencing and model fine-tuning.
"Teradata
customers are not casual users of their data and analytics, so we're
thrilled to be engaged with NVIDIA to leverage our strong and trusted
foundation for innovative AI use cases. By integrating NVIDIA's
accelerated computing architecture into our Vantage platform, Teradata
customers will be able to accelerate their use of AI at scale, in the
environment of their choice, delivering unprecedented business value,"
said Hillary Ashton, Chief Product Officer at Teradata.
NVIDIA NeMo Retriever, a collection of NVIDIA NIM microservices
that enables organizations to seamlessly connect custom models to
diverse business data and deliver highly accurate responses, will also
be offered on Teradata VantageCloud, enabling accelerated search and RAG
applications to leverage existing customer data. Teradata will provide
access to NVIDIA NIM microservices, part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, for
Teradata VantageCloud customers before expanding the offering to hybrid
customers globally.
"Data
is the foundation of generative AI applications, enabling the
development of today's highly customized applications," said Pat Lee,
Vice President of Strategic Enterprise Partnerships at NVIDIA. "By
integrating NVIDIA AI Enterprise, Teradata is providing developers a
high-performance, full-stack platform that offers the security,
stability and support enterprises require."
