EDB Postgres AI Achieves Leadership Status in Multimodel Data Platforms
WILMINGTON, Del., July 1, 2026 — EnterpriseDB (EDB) has been distinguished as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Multimodel Data Platforms, Q2 2026. The evaluation highlighted EDB Postgres AI (EDB PG AI) as a frontrunner in both strategy and current offering categories, achieving the highest possible scores in Vision, Innovation, Roadmap, and Partner Ecosystem criteria.
In an era where enterprises are striving to consolidate fragmented, single-purpose data engines, EDB PG AI emerges as a solution that seamlessly integrates transactional, analytical, and AI workloads. This platform is designed to facilitate the transition into a unified, open-source framework, enabling interoperability, sovereign deployments, and agentic AI applications.
The Forrester report underscores EDB’s ambitious vision to establish the premier Postgres Multimodel Data Platform (MMDP) tailored for the agentic era. This vision is bolstered by significant investments in research and development, focusing on comprehensive inferencing capabilities, analytics accelerators, and AI-driven automation. Furthermore, EDB’s roadmap adeptly addresses the multimodel shift towards agentic AI, incorporating GPU-accelerated workloads, semantic intelligence, governance, and knowledge graph functionalities.
Forrester articulates, “EDB is a strong choice for enterprises that need open source flexibility and deployment options to manage mixed translytical and AI workload demands.”
Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB, remarked, “This recognition reflects what we’ve been building toward: a platform where intelligence moves to the data, not the other way around. 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.”
This accolade follows the recent introduction of EDB’s agentic database and converged analytics capabilities, now generally available as part of EDB PG AI, with governance features currently in preview. Built on open Postgres and open table formats, EDB PG AI can be deployed on-premises, in hybrid environments, or across cloud infrastructures, supported by a global partner ecosystem that includes Dell, IBM, NVIDIA, Red Hat, and Supermicro.
