# The Managed LanceDB Vector Database

Production database for RAG, agents, and multimodal search. Large-scale traffic, tight latency budgets, growing datasets. No blown cloud bills. LanceDB Enterprise is your storage and retrieval layer.

## Read the guide

### Why teams switch

### Compute-storage separation

Serverless capacity scales with load. Data in Lance tables on object storage.

### One table, not six systems

Vectors, metadata, and raw data together. Same format - embedded, self-hosted, managed.

### Schema evolution without rebuilds

Add columns without migrations. Managed ops handle compaction and indexing.

### Full-text + hybrid search, native

Vector, full-text, and SQL queries in one system. Built in, not bolted on.

## The Power of the Lance Format

### Vector Search

- Fast scans and random access from the same table — no tradeoff
- Zero-copy access for high throughput without serialization overhead

### Multi-Modal

- Raw data, embeddings, and metadata in one table — not pointers to blob storage
- No separate metadata store to keep in sync

## Enterprise-Grade Requirements

### Security

Granular RBAC, SSO integration, and VPC deployment options.

### Governance

Data versioning and time-travel capabilities for auditability.

### Support

Dedicated technical account management and guaranteed SLAs.
