Empowering Data Sovereignty and AI Innovation at Supercomputing 2024

November 13, 2024

As data regulations tighten and demand for AI capability surges, so does the need for an integrated hardware and software solution that balances high performance, data compliance, and scalability. The ideal solution must be designed to empower secure, rapid analytics and AI workloads within private, sovereign infrastructures. 

At SC24, EDB and Supermicro will be engaging with attendees to share a preview of such a solution. Here’s a closer look at the technical features and use cases, from Sovereign AI to the Omni Data Platform, which highlight how this solution can optimize your data strategy and ensure compliance.

Addressing Modern Data Challenges: Balancing Innovation and Compliance

For 48% of organizations, data sovereignty is now a core IT consideration as they balance innovation with adherence to stringent data localization laws. Companies want the flexibility to run advanced AI applications while ensuring data remains secure and compliant across private and hybrid infrastructures. Managing diverse data—structured, unstructured, and semi-structured—has traditionally required multiple databases and storage solutions, adding operational complexity, cost, and compliance risk.

With this new solution, EDB and Supermicro aim to simplify these complexities by offering a unified infrastructure that secures data within borders while delivering the performance and flexibility required for sophisticated, real-time applications.

Integrated Solution: Enterprise-Grade PostgreSQL and Scalable Infrastructure

The integration of EDB Postgres AI and Supermicro servers brings together a highly secure, high-performance data platform suited to address modern application development needs, including use cases like Sovereign AI and Omni Data Platform. Here’s how these use cases leverage the solution’s capabilities:

Sovereign AI: For industries that require tight data control, such as government and healthcare, EDB Postgres AI enables secure, in-house AI model training and inference. Sensitive data stays within private infrastructure, minimizing exposure and ensuring compliance. Learn more.

Omni Data Platform: Combining high-speed NVMe storage with Postgres lakehouse capabilities, the hardware-integrated solution enables businesses to manage multiple data types (structured, semi-structured, unstructured) within a single platform. Financial services, for instance, can utilize this unified platform to perform both real-time fraud detection and long-term trend analysis while maintaining data control. Learn more.

How the Solution Works

1. Data Sovereignty: EDB Postgres AI is designed to protect sensitive data within secure data centers, meeting local and international data standards. This compliance-first approach allows enterprises to maintain total control over sensitive information without depending on public cloud models.

2. Unified Postgres Lakehouse for Multi-Modal Workloads: This platform supports relational, time-series, vector, JSON, and key-value data types within one unified environment. With Supermicro’s Hyper high-performance NVMe storage servers, businesses gain rapid access to real-time data while utilizing cost-effective archival storage for historical data, all without creating data silos.

3. Advanced Observability and Optimization: Real-time monitoring through EDB Postgres AI provides insight into 200+ metrics, enabling companies to proactively manage database health and identify bottlenecks up to 5x faster. This capability supports uninterrupted operations and boosts performance across transactional, analytical, and AI applications.

4. High-Throughput AI Performance: Supermicro’s GPU accelerated server infrastructure provides the high-speed bandwidth necessary for AI model development and deployment, supported by EDB Postgres AI’s automated AI data management tools for simplified AI application building. This pairing is ideal for enterprises aiming to accelerate AI workloads in secure environments.

Key Benefits of the Solution

Data Security and Compliance: Designed with privacy and regulatory compliance in mind, this platform enables businesses to safeguard sensitive data within private borders, reducing the risks associated with cloud reliance.

Rapid Insights Across Data Types: EDB’s Postgres AI and Supermicro’s infrastructure support a high-performance environment for rapid analytics, AI, and transactional workloads, empowering enterprises to make faster, data-driven decisions.

Superior ROI and Cost Efficiency: Benchmarks indicate up to 6x ROI versus community Postgres installations and 90% better value compared to traditional cloud databases. This performance and cost-efficiency are made possible by combining enterprise-grade hardware with EDB’s optimized software.

Unified Management: By consolidating transactional, analytical, and AI workloads within one platform, the solution provides a single source of truth across all data, eliminating silos and reducing operational complexity.
