EDB Postgres® AI: The Sovereign Data and AI Platform for the Agentic Enterprise

Enterprise spending on AI-capable database systems is projected to triple by 2028. For most organizations, scaling an agentic workforce means adopting a modern data platform. Is your infrastructure ready? 

Why the Legacy Data Stack Fails

Traditional infrastructure was built for a different time, when humans wrote queries, ran reports, and maintained databases as needed. Agentic AI fundamentally changes how your data is used. Agents, operating 24/7, make decisions on your behalf and take action in real time. They need fast access to accurate data, supported by a secure, reliable, and agile foundation for autonomous operations.

Most enterprises aren't equipped for this transition. Their data stacks are split across various environments and specialized tools, each requiring different security models and operational workflows. The result is engineering teams wasting hours on integration instead of building, and agents stalled by complex data pipelines before AI initiatives ever reach production.

EDB research reveals only 13% of organizations have successfully moved AI into production at scale. As more enterprises adopt the agentic-first approach, Gartner predicts over 40% of agentic AI projects at risk of cancellation by 2027 without the right foundation. The gap between organizations with the infrastructure to support agents at scale and those without will define who wins in the next decade.

A Platform Built for the Way Agents Actually Work

Your data foundation matters, and your AI will only be as capable and reliable as the platform it runs on. EDB Postgres® AI (EDB PG AI) is the sovereign data and AI platform for the agentic enterprise. It unifies transactional, analytical, and AI workloads in a single Postgres foundation, so agents, applications, and users can act on live operational data in real time, on infrastructure you fully own. Here is what that means in practice:

Sovereign by design. 

Over 68% of enterprise leaders report concern about data and AI sovereignty. But sovereignty is not just a security move; it's a strategic one. Organizations that prioritize AI and data sovereignty achieve up to 5x the ROI of their peers. EDB PG AI protects proprietary data in a resilient Postgres foundation and keeps it protected at every stage, including inferencing, where models come to your data rather than exposing it to external third-party models. Organizations gain complete ownership over their data and workloads without creating vendor lock-in or disrupting existing operations. With EDB PG AI, your data is your strongest asset, continuously protected and always portable. 

Unified workloads. 

EDB PG AI eliminates the integration work that stalls AI initiatives before they reach production. Every workload — from transactional to analytical to agentic AI — lives within a single operational model centered on Postgres. You gain unified observability with 200+ metrics and proactive recommendations across every environment, meaning you always know what is running, how it is performing, where to act, and how to optimize. With EDB PG AI, you can achieve seamless end-to-end management of your data and AI while lowering your total cost of ownership by 51% — and organizations that consolidate their analytics on EDB PG AI see up to 58% in cost savings versus cloud data warehouses. 

It’s not just current workloads that benefit. EDB PG AI breaks through the operational overhead of fragmented, specialized tools to build GenAI applications with ease, reducing complexity by 67%. A unified platform enables AI projects to reach production 3x faster than typical cloud stack deployments, without sacrificing the reliability your agentic workforce depends on. 

AI-ready data layer.

Most AI architectures require moving data out of operational systems before it becomes usable by a model or agent. EDB PG AI eliminates that overhead by making your operational data AI-ready by default, with native support for vector storage, semantic search, and the tooling to prepare data without manual ETL.

With EDB PG AI, your transactional data isn't siloed from your AI workloads — it powers them. The strongest data pipeline is the one you don't have to manage, or the one you don't have to build at all. EDB PG AI delivers both: automated AI data preparation handles the pipelines that need to exist, while zero-ETL interoperability across operational, historical, and unstructured data in the lakehouse eliminates the ones that don't. Advanced index support delivers 5–12x faster indexing for enterprise-scale, multi-agent systems, and GPU-accelerated analytics delivers up to 90x faster queries. Agents are only as trustworthy as the data they can access, and with EDB PG AI, that data is always accurate, always available, and always fast.

Enterprise-grade foundation. 

EDB PG AI provides the mission-critical foundation organizations need to scale innovation and standardize operations, without sacrificing stability, security, or governance. With EDB PG AI, you can instantly deploy up 99.999% high availability clusters to support always-on, globally distributed operations for workloads that can’t afford a second of unexpected downtime or latency. Governance is supported at the database layer, delivering the resilience and control that enterprises demand when performance, availability, and policy enforcement are non-negotiable. Since data is encrypted end-to-end while in transit and at rest, and access controls are enforced consistently across every workload and environment, every agent operates within your defined guardrails at all times.

Built on Postgres.

Over one in three of the world's largest enterprises are already running their data and AI strategies on Postgres. Built on decades of open source leadership, EDB extends that foundation and hardens it with enterprise-grade capabilities and support. With EDB PG AI, you get the innovation velocity of the world's most active database community and the freedom to deploy it in any environment — on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid — on your terms. 

EDB PG AI in Action and at Scale

The demands of the agentic era have organizations demanding their own data and AI platforms, and EDB works with the world's leading organizations across financial services, technology, and beyond to deepen and accelerate that journey every day. 

Recently, Intesa Sanpaolo — Italy's largest banking group — started using EDB Postgres AI as their production-ready Postgres foundation. Serving approximately 13.9 million customers, Intesa Sanpaolo needed automated failover, validated deployment architectures, and consistent performance across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

"We needed databases that could operate at the same speed as our application platforms. That required an architecture built on automation, independence, and Kubernetes-native operations." — Stefano Morgano, Database Architect, Intesa Sanpaolo Group Services

With EDB Postgres AI and Redhat Ansible-based automation, Intesa Sanpaolo went from 10 shared clusters to 500+ PostgreSQL instances and obtained a standardized, scalable database built for continuous operations under their own governance framework. EDB PG AI makes it possible for organizations to move beyond automation as a tool, and toward automation as a trusted infrastructure for continuous, intelligent, autonomous operations.
