EDB named a Leader in Multimodel Data Platforms evaluation. Independent research recognizes EDB Postgres(R) AI for extending transactional workloads into analytical and AI processing on a unified platform. Date -2026-06-30 Location - WILMINGTON, Del. - EnterpriseDB (EDB), the leading sovereign data and AI company, today announced that it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave(TM): Multimodel Data Platforms, Q2 2026. EDB Postgres AI (EDB PG AI) was evaluated as a Leader across both the strategy and current offering categories and received the highest score possible in the Vision, Innovation, Roadmap, and Partner Ecosystem criteria. Enterprises are racing to unify fragmented, single-purpose data engines into one platform that can serve transactional, analytical, and AI workloads for the agentic era. EDB PG AI is built to meet that shift, extending transactional workloads into analytical and AI processing on a unified, open source foundation with capabilities for interoperability, sovereign deployments, and agentic AI use cases. According to the report, EDB's robust vision is to create the leading Postgres MMDP for the agentic era, with innovation anchored in deep R&D spend focused on comprehensive inferencing capabilities, analytics accelerators, and AI-driven automation. The report also notes that EDB's superior roadmap addresses the multimodel shift to agentic AI, spanning GPU-accelerated workloads, semantic intelligence, governance, and knowledge graph. In its evaluation, Forrester states, "EDB is a strong choice for enterprises that need open source flexibility and deployment options to manage mixed translytical and AI workload demands." "This recognition reflects what we've been building toward: a platform where intelligence moves to the data, not the other way around," said Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB. "In the agentic era, AI runs on the data layer - governed, sovereign, and enforced at the source. We believe being named a Leader validates that the future of enterprise AI is open, sovereign, and built on Postgres." The recognition follows EDB's recent launch of agentic database and converged analytics capabilities, now generally available as part of EDB PG AI, with governance available in preview. Built on open Postgres and open table formats, EDB PG AI runs on premises, in hybrid environments, or across clouds and is supported by a global partner ecosystem that includes Dell, IBM, NVIDIA, Red Hat, and Supermicro.

Built on Postgres, the world's leading open source database, EDB PG AI unifies transactional, analytical, and AI workloads in a single architecture, eliminating the data movement, ETL, and operational fragmentation that slow enterprises down. With governance enforced at the data layer and the flexibility to deploy on premises, in hybrid environments, or across clouds, enterprises operationalize their data and AI on infrastructure they own and control - reaching production-ready sovereign AI in weeks, not months. As one of the most active contributors to the PostgreSQL project, EDB is deeply invested in the vitality of the global open source community. To learn more, visit www.enterprisedb.com.

EnterpriseDB (EDB) has launched new agentic database and converged analytics capabilities for EDB Postgres AI, designed to bring AI intelligence directly to enterprise data. The platform unifies relational, analytical, vector and agentic workloads on a single Postgres foundation that enterprises own and control. The agentic database capability continuously monitors over 200 operational metrics and self-optimises, making database tuning up to 10 times faster whilst accelerating application performance by up to 8 times. The system provides autonomous operations whilst maintaining enterprise control through policy-based approval workflows. EDB's converged analytics architecture delivers up to 58% lower total cost of ownership compared with legacy warehouses, with sub-second query performance and petabyte-scale warehousing capabilities. The platform supports on-premises, hybrid and cloud deployments, with customers including Kyobo Book Centre and NTT East.

EDB releases PGD 6.4 with Quorum Commit, bringing true distributed consistency to mission-critical Postgres. Published: May 29th, 2026 WILMINGTON, Del. - EnterpriseDB (EDB), the leading sovereign AI and data company, has announced EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) 6.4, the distributed transactional foundation of EDB Postgres AI. The release introduces three landmark capabilities: Quorum Commit for true cross-node distributed consistency, integrated connection pooling through the native Connection Manager, and full support for PostgreSQL large objects. Together, they deliver the durability guarantees and architectural simplicity that Tier 1 financial and infrastructure applications demand. Demand for sovereign control over critical data is accelerating. Gartner forecasts that by 2030, more than 75% of European and Middle Eastern enterprises will geopatriate workloads - up from less than 5% in 2025. AI and data sovereignty are clear strategic imperatives. But control over where data lives is only half the picture; organizations also need certainty about its state. PGD 6.4 meets that demand, bringing the strongest distributed consistency Postgres has ever offered. Quorum Commit: The end of the distributed double-spend The most consequential addition in PGD 6.4 is Quorum Commit; a pre-commit coordination mechanism that enforces a single, coherent global truth across every node in the cluster before any transaction is locally committed. Unlike traditional synchronous replication, which confirms only that a replica has received a record, Quorum Commit coordinates the content of concurrent writes across data centers in real time. Consider a credit card shared across geographies. Under standard replication, two simultaneous charges can each pass a local balance check and commit independently, leaving the bank to resolve an overspend after the fact. With Quorum Commit, the cluster reaches consensus before either charge completes: The first transaction wins the quorum vote and is committed; the second sees the updated balance and is declined at the point of sale without any post-commit cleanup. "Postgres has become the de facto standard for modern applications. Yet until now, organizations running high-value workloads in banking, payments, or telecom were forced to fall back on legacy enterprise RDBMS for their strongest consistency requirements. PGD 6.4 changes that, delivering the same distributed consistency those systems were built on, now fully Postgres native," said Jozef de Vries, SVP, Database Engineering at EDB. For financial institutions migrating away from proprietary databases, Quorum Commit removes the last major technical barrier: a fully Postgres-native path to the same consistency guarantees offered by high-end commercial systems with none of the licensing overhead. Connection Manager pooling: Enterprise scale, zero external dependencies PGD 6.4 extends the built-in Connection Manager introduced in PGD 6.0 with native connection pooling, eliminating the need for external poolers such as pgBouncer in most production topologies. Because the Connection Manager is integrated directly with PGD's Raft consensus layer, it provides capabilities no external proxy can match: cluster-aware routing at both the cluster and region levels, automatic failover routing that responds to consensus changes in real time, and unified observability through PostgreSQL's own logging and monitoring views. The architectural payoff is significant at scale. Organizations running hundreds of distinct clusters such as payment processors operating across thousands of CPU cores gain a simpler, more resilient stack with one fewer component to deploy, version, and monitor. Operational complexity is reduced without any sacrifice in throughput or connection headroom. Large object support: Broadening the scope of distributed Postgres PGD 6.4 adds full replication support for PostgreSQL large objects - binary data structures that were previously unavailable in distributed Postgres environments. This brings a class of workloads into the PGD fold that were previously excluded: applications managing scanned documents, image archives, binary payloads, or mixed transactional and unstructured data within a single database. Financial institutions, government agencies, and healthcare operators commonly maintain exactly these hybrid schemas alongside their core transactional tables. PGD 6.4 is now available as a stand-alone distribution and will be available as part of EDB Postgres AI in June.
