STACKIT and Qdrant Hybrid Cloud for Best Data Privacy

Qdrant and STACKIT have partnered to introduce Qdrant Hybrid Cloud, allowing developers to deploy a fully managed vector database within their STACKIT environment, significantly benefiting the German AI ecosystem by enabling AI applications to run on German data centers with full data control. This innovation is particularly crucial for enterprises seeking to leverage AI without compromising data privacy, as vector databases enhance AI capabilities by enabling rapid retrieval of high-dimensional data and improving large language models through relevant contextual information. The Qdrant Hybrid Cloud, being the first managed vector database deployable in a STACKIT environment, offers a Kubernetes-native setup that ensures complete data isolation and compliance with GDPR, thus providing businesses with secure, scalable, AI-driven solutions. Additionally, the integration allows for seamless deployment and management of vector search workloads, with robust features such as zero-downtime upgrades and disaster recovery within STACKIT’s secure infrastructure.
