Teradata forms AI partnership with NVIDIA

Teradata is collaborating with NVIDIA to bring AI capabilities to the Teradata Vantage enterprise analytics data platform.

Under the agreement, Teradata will integrate the NVIDIA NeMo and NVIDIA NIM microservices into the Vantage platform to support the development of large language models (LLMs), agentic workflows and retrieval-augmented generation applications. The partnership will also allow customers to deploy their own custom models through the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform.

Meanwhile Teradata’s platform will be expanded to offer NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure. Vantage’s bring-your-own LLM capability can use NVIDIA AI-accelerated computing clusters for tasks such as LLM inferencing and model fine-tuning.

Finally, the NVIDIA NeMo Retriever collection of microservices will also be offered on Teradata VantageCloud. The collection of services is designed to allow customers to connect custom models to diverse business data and retrieve highly accurate responses.

Teradata Chief Product Officer Hillary Ashton said the partnership will help Teradata meet its customers’ sophisticated demands.

“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,” she said. “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.”
