Elastic integrates Elasticsearch with NVIDIA AI Factory design
Elastic has confirmed that its Elasticsearch technology now integrates with the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design to support organisations developing AI systems on their own infrastructure. The integration positions Elasticsearch as a recommended vector database for enterprises aiming to construct and implement on-premises AI factories, providing the foundation for real-time intelligence in AI agents and generative AI applications. Elastic is developing a plugin utilising NVIDIA cuVS, a technology designed to expedite the construction and querying of vector search indexes. This is expected to deliver faster and more precise results for both real-time and generative AI workloads. "We are obsessed with building the best vector database in the market," said Ken Exner, Chief Product Officer at Elastic. "NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated designs enable Elastic customers to unlock faster, more relevant insights from their data." The importance of vector search and vector databases in supporting AI applications continues to grow within the industry. Elasticsearch is already widely used for such applications across the sector, supported by an active open source community. Elastic has invested in optimising the performance of its vector database. Previous efforts have included hardware-accelerated CPU SIMD instructions, innovations in vector data compression with Better Binary Quantization, and performance improvements in Filtered HNSW, all aimed at increasing the effectiveness of indexing and querying at scale. Pat Lee, Vice President, Strategic Enterprise Partnerships at NVIDIA, commented on the role of vector technology in AI. "Vector databases are transforming enterprise AI by making it easier for companies to find and use information quickly," he said. "With Elasticsearch and the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory reference design, enterprises can unlock deeper insights and deliver more relevant, real-time information to AI agents and generative AI applications." Elastic stated that further details regarding its ongoing collaboration with NVIDIA, and developments associated with vector search on GPU, are available via its official blog.

DDN Teams With NVIDIA to Help Enterprises Transform Unstructured Data into AI-Driven Business Value
CHATSWORTH, Calif., May 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DDN®, the global leader in AI and data intelligence solutions, today announced it is redefining enterprise infrastructure by turning storage into an intelligent, AI-native platform that fuels real-time insight, faster decisions, and measurable impact with the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design. DDN solutions built with the design in collaboration with NVIDIA empower organizations to unlock the business potential of generative AI by simplifying how they store, access, and activate their most valuable asset: unstructured data. In the age of agentic AI platforms and scalable AI factories, enterprises must fundamentally reimagine their relationship with data. It's no longer just about storing information—it's about activating it. Data has become the fuel, the fabric, and the foundation of competitive advantage. "At DDN, we are not just keeping pace with this transformation—we're defining it," said Santosh Erram, Global Head of Partnerships—NVIDIA and Hyperscaler, at DDN. "If your data infrastructure isn't purpose-built for AI, then your AI strategy is already at risk. DDN is where data meets intelligence, and where the future of enterprise AI is being built." Turning Unstructured Data into Action With more than 90% of new data being unstructured—ranging from documents and videos to code and conversations—organizations are sitting on a goldmine of insights. But traditional systems weren't designed to support the speed, scale, and intelligence that AI now demands. The solution from DDN and NVIDIA solves this by combining DDN Infinia™, an AI-native data platform, with NVIDIA NIM and NeMo Retriever microservices, NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, and NVIDIA Networking. This enables enterprises to deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and intelligent AI applications grounded in their own proprietary data—securely, efficiently, and at scale. "Intelligent storage is key to transforming enterprise data into real-time intelligence for agentic AI reasoning," said Pat Lee, vice president, Enterprise Strategic Partnerships at NVIDIA. "Together, DDN and NVIDIA are building storage systems with accelerated computing, networking, and software to drive AI applications that can automate operations and amplify people's productivity." Business Outcomes That Matter Across industries—from finance and healthcare to telecom and manufacturing—organizations using DDN and NVIDIA solutions are realizing transformative results: Accelerated decision-making through conversational access to internal knowledge Enhanced customer engagement with domain-specific chatbots and digital assistants Lower total cost of ownership by reducing infrastructure sprawl and maximizing AI throughput Stronger data governance through on-prem, hybrid, or sovereign deployment models Infrastructure for the AI Factory Era Leading AI adopters are no longer just running pilots—they are building AI factories: repeatable, scalable pipelines that turn data into decisions. This next phase of enterprise AI requires a new foundation—one where storage is intelligent, high-performance, and seamlessly connected to AI pipelines. "AI has changed the rules—and DDN is redefining what enterprise data infrastructure must look like," said Sven Oehme, CTO and President at DDN.
