EDB Postgres AI unlocks hybrid control and unified observability for sovereign environments, boosting productivity up to 30%.
As part of today’s Q2 release, we’re excited to announce the general availability of EDB Postgres AI Hybrid Management, enabling cloud-native automation, single pane of glass management, and deep observability across your hybrid data infrastructure. With this release, EDB Postgres AI delivers turnkey data and AI sovereignty, agility, and consistency, making it easier to manage your data estate in a complex hybrid reality. Now, your teams spend less time on maintenance and more time innovating to meet customers demands. Let’s take a closer look.
Data Management Challenges In The AI Era
A recent study reveals a critical challenge: 68% of organizations worldwide urgently need a strategy to maximize control over their data in a hybrid world. Meeting this expectation becomes even more difficult with data spread across legacy systems, disconnected cloud databases and tools, and siloed teams. The growing sprawl makes it difficult to view, manage, and augment critical data, preventing you from unlocking its full value – particularly when trying to meet evolving AI demands. All this “undifferentiated heavy lifting” distracts from value-adding work.
Many enterprises still default to adopting public cloud database-as-a-service (DBaaS) offerings to help mitigate these management challenges. However, these cloud services have major limitations: they limit hybrid deployment flexibility, lock enterprises into costly cloud consumption patterns as they scale, and lack portability to other platforms – creating just another form of vendor lock-in. Plus, organizations are often forced to piece together multiple, specialized tools to enable new analytics and AI workloads on top of their core operational data.
Teams need a hybrid, flexible solution that makes it easy to deploy, manage, observe, and optimize databases to meet growing demand, while making all data AI-ready – without risking data sovereignty.
Introducing EDB Postgres AI Hybrid Management: Automation, management, and deep observability from a single pane of glass
EDB Postgres AI Hybrid Management enables end-to-end control and unified observability in a sovereign container, delivering data and AI sovereignty with efficient hybrid management at scale. The platform makes EDB’s decades of Postgres leadership accessible through built-in, cloud-native automation to streamline database management at scale , boosting operational efficiency by up to 30%, so you can manage more with fewer resources.
EDB Postgres AI also enables deep observability across your hybrid data infrastructure. Not only do you have visibility into the Enterprise Postgres clusters deployed with EDB Postgres AI, but also your existing Postgres clusters running elsewhere, including on virtual and physical machines and those in Amazon RDS. With 200+ deep database metrics, query diagnostics, and intelligent recommendations, you gain a comprehensive understanding of your Postgres data in all its formats. This single platform offers a holistic perspective across your data to eliminate silos, while making it easier to observe your AI-ready data.
You can also simplify migrations from legacy systems to EDB Postgres AIwith a built-in migration experience, enabling migration in days, instead of months, while ensuring complete privacy of your data.
Let’s see this in action before diving deep into these features:
Key Hybrid Management features
End-to-end control With EDB Postgres AI, you can encrypt and contain data in your private environment to prevent unwanted access. At the same time, you can leverage your existing security infrastructure and policies to protect your sovereign data platform. Deploy EDB Postgres AI in your environment of choice– multi-cloud, on-prem, and hybrid.
Cloud-native automation automates your hybrid data infrastructure on demand, on your terms. You can deploy resilient databases in minutes, instead of hours or days. Once your database is deployed, management is automated, bringing expert-level execution, compliance, and consistency across your sovereign Postgres deployments, even without experts on your staff. Let’s talk about a few of these core management features:
- Automated provisioning: Quickly provision enterprise-grade databases using just a few clicks. In the EDB Postgres AI console, you have the flexibility to deploy Postgres with the level of high availability (HA) best suited for your application needs – choose from 1) standard HA clusters with physical replication, 2) new single-region clusters with logical replication and online maintenance and up to 99.99% HA, and 3) geo-distributed, active-active clusters with up to 99.999% HA. You can also leverage customizable templates to make it easy for all your teams to deploy secure databases, or upload custom images for specialized deployments.
- Backups and point-in-time recovery: Automated, continuous backups ensure robust protection of your data. Restore from individual backups or perform precise point-in-time recovery to any time within your configured retention period.
- Automated upgrades: With automated minor upgrades and zero-downtime major upgrades, you eliminate downtime and minimize application disruption, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted customer experiences.
Unified observability from a single, easy-to-use interface makes it easier to ensure security, performance, and availability across your hybrid data infrastructure. With access to 200+ deep database metrics and intelligent recommendations, you can find and fix issues 5x faster and boost application performance up to 8x. Now, you can deliver better end-customer experiences without any manual analysis. Here are some things you can do with EDB Postgres AI:
- Intelligent recommendations: This is where EDB Postgres AI goes beyond mere monitoring; it provides intelligent recommendations to identify and address bottlenecks in seconds so that any user– not just DBAs– can finely tune and optimize infrastructure.
- Alerts and notifications: Configure real-time alerts on key metrics and set up notifications, so you can act quickly and minimize potential business impact. Ensure your teams are always up-to-date on the metrics that matter the most to you
Sovereign migrations within your contained environment make modernizations easier, faster, and more secure. The new, built-in experience allows you to sync data from legacy and other Postgres databases to EDB Postgres AI, which offers 6x lower TCO than traditional databases. At the same time, AI-driven recommendations resolve schema incompatibilities, native Oracle compatibility reduces app rewrites by up to 95%, and automatic migration assessments identify the time and effort to migrate so you can seamlessly modernize from legacy systems.
- Migration recommendations: Leverage EDB’s migration expertise to execute seamless migrations from Oracle. AI-driven migration recommendations help you assess and resolve your Oracle database schema object incompatibilities. This helps reduce manual effort and eliminate the need for expensive migration consultants.
- Migration assessments: Quick, automatic assessments identify the complexity and level of effort to migrate, making it easier to plan and perform seamless modernizations.
- Data sync for AI-ready data: Securely sync your legacy data to EDB Postgres AI. Once synced, you can create a private knowledge base to modernize your legacy applications into AI-driven customer experiences without risking data and AI sovereignty.
With these features and more, EDB Postgres AI delivers control and streamlines hybrid management for your existing and future Postgres deployments, providing you with the user-friendly experience you need to efficiently scale your databases and meet your growing business demands.
