Elastic has expanded its AI platform with a suite of GPU‑accelerated vector search integrations, partnering with NVIDIA, Dell Technologies and Red Hat to deliver faster, production‑scale retrieval‑augmented generation and agentic AI workloads.
The NVIDIA collaboration introduces a technical preview of GPU‑accelerated vector indexing in Elasticsearch, powered by NVIDIA cuVS. The preview is available in Elasticsearch version 9.3 for self‑managed enterprise customers, with general availability scheduled for April 2026 in version 9.4. The integration promises up to 12× faster vector indexing than CPU‑based approaches, eliminating a key bottleneck for enterprises moving from experimentation to full‑scale AI production.
Elastic and Dell have launched the Dell Data Search Engine, a vector database built on Elasticsearch and accelerated by NVIDIA cuVS, integrated into Dell’s AI Data Platform. The engine is available now, with GPU acceleration targeted for Q2 2026, providing customers with a high‑performance, scalable vector search solution.
Elastic and Red Hat are delivering a GPU‑accelerated AI Factory on OpenShift, a security‑optimized, scalable reference design for hybrid cloud AI deployments. The solution is available on Red Hat AI Enterprise and through Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA, enabling customers to operationalize and scale AI workloads across any hybrid cloud environment.
These new capabilities position Elastic as a comprehensive, hybrid‑friendly AI infrastructure layer for enterprises seeking high‑performance, real‑time context retrieval. Pat Lee, Vice President of Strategic Enterprise Partnerships at NVIDIA, noted, "As enterprises move from AI experimentation to full‑scale production, they require a new class of accelerated data infrastructure to efficiently process massive vector data volumes." Katie Giglio, Senior Director of Ecosystem Development at Red Hat, added, "Red Hat OpenShift provides the essential, Kubernetes‑native foundation for enterprises to operationalize and scale their AI workloads across any hybrid cloud environment. By enabling Elastic's GPU‑accelerated search on Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat AI with the speed of NVIDIA, we are jointly delivering a production‑ready, open platform that empowers customers to build secure, high‑performance RAG and autonomous AI agents while maintaining complete control over their data sovereignty." Ken Exner, Chief Product Officer at Elastic, emphasized the company’s focus, "We are obsessed with building the best vector database in the market."
