Beyond Vector Databases: AI-Scale Vector Search in the VAST DataBase

Vector databases are often deployed as standalone systems, introducing additional infrastructure, data duplication, and governance overhead. As vector workloads scale to billions and trillions of embeddings, these architectures struggle with performance, cost, and complexity.

In this webinar, we explore the VAST vector architecture, including its hierarchical indexing approach, native in the VAST DataBase. We will review benchmark results and show how VAST enables high-performance vector search at massive scale.

We will also demonstrate how VAST consolidates vector search, analytics, and data storage into a single system, eliminating the need for separate vector databases and enabling unified AI pipelines.
