Actian VectorAI DB

Actian VectorAI DB Introduction

Actian VectorAI DB is a portable vector database designed for AI applications that need to run beyond the cloud, on edge, on-premises, or hybrid environments. It delivers low-latency vector search with a 22x QPS advantage over competitors like Milvus and Qdrant, while allowing developers to build once and deploy consistently across diverse infrastructures. Teams maintain full data ownership and avoid per-query costs, making it ideal for applications requiring data sovereignty and predictable performance.

Key Features

Portable deployment across edge, on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments

22x higher QPS than Milvus and Qdrant at 10M vectors

Native integration with LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, and Cohere

Encryption at rest and in transit with built-in management UI

Docker container for local development and production on Linux, Windows, and x86

Use Cases

AI agents running on edge devices for real-time semantic retrieval without cloud connectivity

Enterprise RAG systems deployed on-premises to keep sensitive data within company infrastructure

Hybrid cloud workloads where vector search must operate both locally and in the cloud

Air-gapped environments needing secure, offline vector search for compliance

Why Startups Use It

Startups need to iterate quickly without vendor lock-in or high cloud costs. Actian VectorAI DB lets you build locally, deploy consistently, and avoid per-query fees while maintaining full data control. Its portability ensures your AI can run anywhere—from a laptop to an edge device—without changing your stack.
