EDB Launches Postgres AI Platform to Take on Data Workloads

EDB, a major player in the PostgreSQL database space, is making a bold move to position itself at the forefront of the AI revolution. The company has unveiled EDB Postgres AI, an intelligent platform capable of handling transactional, analytical, and AI workloads seamlessly.

In an industry first, EDB Postgres AI can be deployed as a cloud service, software, or even a physical appliance, all powered by the same underlying PostgreSQL engine. This flexibility aims to meet customers wherever they are on their digital transformation journey.

The launch of the new platform is accompanied by a rebranding effort, signaling EDB's belief that PostgreSQL can solve the most complex data challenges faced by organizations in the AI generation. According to Kevin Dallas, EDB's CEO, the company aims to help customers break down data silos and launch new AI initiatives across any cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environment, with the confidence of enterprise-grade security, compliance, and availability.

"Nearly 75% of U.S. companies have adopted AI, but businesses still need a foundational technology that will allow them to quickly and easily access their abundance of data and fully embrace AI - and that's where EDB Postgres AI comes in," Dallas stated.
