Why EDB on IBM infrastructure

EDB Postgres Al (EDB PG AI) is optimized for IBM Power, IBM Z, and IBM LinuxONE to eliminate data silos and enable high-performance Al inferencing exactly where your data resides, ensuring complete governance and security.

3x faster

vector query performance

EDB Postgres AI on IBM Power delivers more vector queries per core, for more efficient agentic workloads on a smaller footprint.

99.999%

high availability

Support your mission-critical workloads with a resilient, always-on foundation from EDB PG AI and IBM LinuxONE.

2.1 Better

transactional performance

Slash operational costs and infrastructure footprint by completing over twice the transactions per core on IBM Power11 compared to x86.

Hybrid Agility

private DBaaS experience

Get production-ready Postgres and AI with the same DBaaS experience you love, without cloud lock-in.

Our joint solution

  • Sovereign Al with IBM Power11

    Operationalize GenAl applications 3x faster with the EDB PG AI Sovereign Data and AI Factory for private, sovereign inferencing—running on IBM Power11 infrastructure in your data center.

  • Mainframe-class data resilience

    Achieve up to 99.999% uptime' for regulated workloads by combining EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) with the hardware resilience of IBM LinuxONE.

  • Modernize and consolidate workloads

    Migrate legacy Oracle workloads to EDB on IBM Power, IBM Z, and IBM LinuxONE—reducing integration complexity and reclaiming performance density that x86 configurations cannot match at equivalent workload density.

  • Hybrid cloud DBaaS

    Build a private database as a service using EDB Postgres for Kubernetes on Red Hat OpenShift, production-tested on IBM Power, IBM Z, and IBM LinuxONE.
