A core function of a wide range of AI applications is to first understand the *meaning* behind a user query, and then provide *relevant* answers to the questions that the user is asking. With increasingly advanced interfaces and applications, this query can be in the form of language, or an image, an audio, video, or other forms of *unstructured* data.
|
||||
|
||||
On an ecommerce platform, a user can, for instance, try to find ‘clothing for a trek’, when they actually want results around ‘waterproof jackets’, or ‘winter socks’. Keyword, or full-text, or even synonym search would fail to provide any response to such a query. Similarly, on a music app, a user might be looking for songs that sound similar to an audio clip they have heard. Or, they might want to look up furniture that has a similar look as the one they saw on a trip.

|

For massive datasets and demanding workloads, Qdrant supports [distributed deployment](/documentation/guides/distributed_deployment) from v0.8.0. In this mode, you can set up a Qdrant cluster and distribute data across multiple nodes, enabling you to maintain high performance and availability even under increased workloads. Clusters support sharding and replication, and harness the Raft consensus algorithm to manage node coordination.

Qdrant also supports vector [quantization](/documentation/guides/quantization/) to reduce memory footprint and speed up vector similarity searches, making it very effective for large-scale applications where efficient resource management is critical.
