Couchbase Integrates NVIDIA NIM to Streamline AI Application Deployment
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Couchbase, Inc. (NASDAQ: BASE), a developer data platform, announced that its Capella AI Model Services have integrated NVIDIA NIM microservices. This integration, part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, is designed to simplify the deployment of AI-powered applications, providing enterprises with a robust solution for securely running generative AI (GenAI) models.
Couchbase’s Capella AI Model Services, which were recently launched as part of an encompassing Capella AI Services suite, provide managed endpoints for language models (LLMs) and embedding models. This allows businesses to meet demands for privacy, performance, scalability, and low latency, all within their own infrastructure. Capella AI Model Services, powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise, minimize latency by bringing AI closer to the data. This is achieved through a combination of GPU-accelerated performance and enterprise-grade security, enabling organizations to efficiently operate their AI workloads.
The collaboration is designed to enhance Capella’s agentic AI and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities. This allows customers to power high-throughput AI applications effectively, while still maintaining model flexibility.
“Enterprises require a unified and high-performance data platform to support their AI initiatives and the complete application lifecycle, including development, deployment, and optimization,” said Matt McDonough, SVP of product and partners at Couchbase. “By integrating NVIDIA NIM microservices into Capella AI Model Services, we’re giving customers the flexibility to run their preferred AI models in a secure and governed way, while significantly improving performance for AI workloads and integrating AI with transactional data. Capella AI Services allows customers to confidently accelerate their RAG and agentic applications, knowing they can scale and optimize their applications as business needs evolve.”
Benefits of integration
- Performance: Enterprises can create and use high throughput AI apps
- Compliance: Can ensure the safety and security of AI models
-
Cost-Effective: The solution helps accelerate the AI deployment.
Enterprises that are building and deploying high-throughput AI applications can often face challenges in agent reliability and compliance because of the potential for brand damage from unreliable AI responses. Data leaks which reveal Personally Identifiable Information (PII) can lead to violations of essential privacy regulations. Another challenge is the management of many specialized databases, which leads to unsustainable operational overhead.
Couchbase is looking to address these challenges with Capella AI Model Services. These services streamline agent application development and operations by keeping models and data colocated in a unified platform. The company leverages built-in capabilities such as semantic caching and guardrail creation.
Capella AI Model Services with NVIDIA NIM offers Couchbase customers a cost-effective solution that accelerates agent delivery. It does so by simplifying model deployment while maximizing resource utilization and performance. The solution uses pre-tested LLMs and components. It also enforces policies and protections against AI hallucinations.
NVIDIA’s rigorously tested and production-ready NIM microservices are optimized for reliability. They are specifically tuned for business requirements.
“Integrating NVIDIA AI software into Couchbase’s Capella AI Model Services allows developers to quickly deploy, scale, and optimize applications,” stated Anne Hecht, senior director of enterprise software at NVIDIA. “Access to NVIDIA NIM microservices further accelerates AI deployment with optimized models. This delivers low-latency performance and security for smart real-time applications.”
Couchbase is set to be a silver sponsor at the upcoming NVIDIA GTC, taking place in San Jose, CA.
