Retrieval patterns built around approved data sources.

RAG and Vector Data planning supports private AI use cases where data ingestion, indexing, access, and retrieval are validated.

  • RAG architecture planning
  • Vector data pattern definition
  • Approved data source mapping
  • Ingestion and indexing boundary planning
  • Retrieval access-control design
  • Storage and lifecycle considerations
  • Connector validation planning
  • Customer-specific data governance inputs

Where RAG fits

Use this capability only where the AI workload, data boundary, operating model, and validation scope are clear.

01

Knowledge Workloads

Support AI experiences grounded in approved enterprise data sources.

02

Sensitive Data

Keep retrieval patterns aligned with access and governance requirements.

03

Private LLM Endpoints

Connect validated retrieval flows to controlled endpoint architecture.

Customer-specific data governance

Connector and scale validation required

Validation path

Each AI capability should move through assessment, design, and validation before publication or commitment.

Map

Identify approved data

Classify sources, owners, access rules, formats, and lifecycle needs.

Design

Shape retrieval flow

Define ingestion, indexing, retrieval, and governance boundaries.

Validate

Test connector and scale

Confirm connector behavior, retrieval flow, and scale assumptions.
