Own What's Next: Modernize Your Data Foundation for the AI Era
Your data. Your infrastructure. Your AI. Your control.
Tuesday, October 20, 2026 · 40 min including Q&A
Every enterprise database strategy is under the same pressure at once: control costs, escape proprietary lock-in, meet sovereignty requirements, and get ready for AI. Modernizing legacy databases, Oracle first, is often the opening move, but migration itself isn't the destination.
The real opportunity is an open, secure, AI-ready data foundation that runs wherever the business requires, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or across a hybrid, sovereign environment, without trading one lock-in for another. Database and infrastructure modernization aren't two projects; they're one strategy.
Join Ava Chawla (Field CTO, EDB) and Andreas Prins (Global Head of Sovereign Solutions, SUSE) for 40 minutes on how EDB and SUSE turn modernization into control, from the governed data layer to the infrastructure it runs on.
What you'll learn:
- Modernize with less risk: How to move off Oracle and other legacy databases with lower risk and less disruption to what's running on top.
- A governed data layer: How enterprise PostgreSQL becomes the foundation for applications, analytics, and AI, not just a database swap.
- Run it anywhere: How Kubernetes, hybrid, and sovereign deployment keep that foundation running wherever the business requires.
- The joint architecture: What an EDB + SUSE architecture actually looks like, from applications to deployment.
