Executive Summary

Partnership Announcement: NVMD has formed a strategic partnership with SingleStore, the world's fastest distributed SQL database for real-time AI applications, to deliver unprecedented performance in enterprise AI implementations.

The Challenge: Enterprise AI systems require instant data access and processing, but traditional database architectures create bottlenecks that limit AI agent effectiveness and real-time decision-making capabilities.

The Solution: By combining NVMD's proven AI implementation methodology with SingleStore's millisecond-response data platform, enterprises can now deploy AI systems that deliver true real-time intelligence across all business operations.

Impact: This partnership enables NVMD clients to achieve 10-100x better performance at 1/3 the cost compared to legacy data architectures, while supporting the complex data requirements of modern AI agents and generative AI applications.


Why This Partnership Matters for Enterprise AI

The Real-Time AI Imperative

Modern AI systems, particularly AI agents and generative AI applications, demand instant access to fresh, contextual data. Traditional database architectures simply cannot meet these requirements:

Traditional Database Limitations:

  • Latency bottlenecks prevent real-time AI decision-making
  • Separate OLTP/OLAP systems require complex data movement
  • Limited vector support hinders RAG and semantic search capabilities
  • Scalability constraints limit AI system performance under load

The Enterprise Reality:

  • 75% of AI implementations fail to deliver measurable ROI due to infrastructure limitations
  • Average query response times of 100ms+ make real-time AI impossible
  • Data silos prevent AI agents from accessing complete context
  • Infrastructure complexity increases total cost of ownership by 300%

SingleStore: The Perfect Foundation for Enterprise AI

SingleStore represents a fundamental shift in database architecture, purpose-built for the demands of modern AI applications:

Core Capabilities:

  • Sub-millisecond query response on massive datasets
  • Unified OLTP and OLAP processing in a single platform
  • Native vector database capabilities for AI and ML workloads
  • Multi-modal data support (JSON, time-series, vectors, full-text)
  • Real-time data ingestion up to millions of events per second

AI-Specific Advantages:

  • Built-in vector search with approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) capabilities
  • Semantic and full-text search combination for advanced RAG implementations
  • Real-time contextualization for generative AI applications
  • Horizontal scalability supporting enterprise-grade AI workloads

How NVMD + SingleStore Transforms Enterprise AI

The Architectural Revolution

Our partnership creates a new paradigm for enterprise AI infrastructure:

Traditional AI Architecture:

Data Sources → ETL → Data Warehouse → Analytics Layer → AI Models → Applications
(Hours of latency, complex data movement, limited real-time capability)

NVMD + SingleStore Architecture:

Data Sources → SingleStore → AI Agents → Real-time Applications
(Millisecond response, unified platform, true real-time AI)
