Enterprises are advancing from basic chatbots to sophisticated, autonomous, multi-step AI workflows, known as agentic AI, which requires a secure and efficient infrastructure to handle complex tasks across diverse systems. Rubrik and Pinecone have collaborated to create a robust solution by integrating Rubrik Annapurna with Pinecone's vector database, enabling secure, scalable deployment of generative AI and agentic workloads. This integration ensures real-time, secure access to enterprise data without performance or compliance issues, addressing limitations of traditional data lakes and legacy systems. Rubrik Annapurna operates on Rubrik Security Cloud, facilitating seamless data transformation and secure embedding generation, which is crucial for AI systems needing context-rich data. Pinecone offers a cloud-native vector database optimized for AI workloads, providing rapid semantic search capabilities, real-time embedding updates, and robust security features, all of which support the development of production-grade, agentic AI systems. This partnership offers a future-proof AI infrastructure, streamlining the transition from prototype to production by managing data security, embedding generation, and vector storage, thus addressing the growing demand for innovative, autonomous AI solutions in various industries.
