Teradata Corporation adds agentic features to Enterprise Vector Store

Teradata Corporation released new agentic and multi-modal capabilities for its Enterprise Vector Store in March 2026 to support deployment of production-ready Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems across cloud, on-premises (on-prem), and hybrid environments.

The announcement referenced Gartner's estimate that unstructured data was growing at three times the rate of structured data and highlighted limitations of traditional vector databases for large-scale AI work, noting barriers such as fragmented data silos, limited scalability, and lack of unified access to structured and unstructured content.

Teradata Enterprise Vector Store provided a complete pipeline from embedding generation to indexing, metadata management, and AI framework integration, and included automated Unstructured ingestion of documents, PDFs, images, and audio with upcoming video support; hybrid search combining semantic and lexical techniques with metadata; multi-modal embeddings for text, image, and audio; higher embedding dimensions up to 8K; and direct LangChain integration to support Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and agentic execution.

The release described a partnership with Unstructured to parse and transform unstructured content at enterprise scale, and cited Vantage-based performance claims including linear scalability across billions of vectors, the ability to ingest millions of documents and thousands of files per hour with appropriate configuration, support for 1,000+ concurrent queries, optimized cost structures that reduce duplicated infrastructure, and governance across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid deployments; the announcement also included examples such as healthcare visual Q&A, insurance claims automation, defense intelligence, and business loyalty agents.

“Enterprises shouldn't have to choose between data security and AI readiness. By embedding Unstructured natively inside Teradata Enterprise Vector Store, Teradata customers get production-quality, AI-ready data at scale, with no external tools, no data leaving the platform, and no compromise on governance,” said Brian Raymond, Founder and CEO of Unstructured.

The new agentic and multi-modal capabilities were made generally available to Teradata customers starting April 2026.
