AI-powered infrastructure software provider, Progress, has rolled out new generative AI (GenAI) capabilities that are said to double the accuracy of response and simplify the development of secure GenAI-enhanced applications. These new capabilities are part of the latest release of Progress MarkLogic Server 12.

MarkLogic Server 12 expands on the proven search capabilities within MarkLogic Server by delivering native vector support and new relevance-based algorithms. Organisations can now more easily integrate GenAI in their enterprise applications with a flexible Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern and securely ground LLM models in their private data to enable fact-based query responses generated from AI models.

The Progress MarkLogic platform, which includes MarkLogic Server, combines multi-model data management with real-time, relevance-based search and semantic capabilities to provide an adaptable, secure foundation for an organisation’s GenAI solutions.

In addition to these enhancements, Progress has also released a new application, MarkLogic Flux, to add improved data movement and transformation capabilities to the core functionality of the MarkLogic platform. MarkLogic Flux supports significantly more data sources, such as relational databases and cloud storage systems like Amazon S3, and offers better performance through faster ingestion of extremely large, high-volume data, supporting any operational, analytical or AI workload.

"As AI becomes increasingly integrated into the enterprise, it is crucial to not only improve the precision of the results delivered but also to safeguard the enterprise’s valuable data,” said EVP and General Manager, Application and Data Platform, Progress, John Ainsworth. “With the latest release of MarkLogic Server, our customers have access to a dependable database management system capable of generating top-quality AI responses, while also protecting their reputation and intellectual property investment.”
