Achieving True AI & Data Sovereignty:
Eliminate Cloud Lock-In Risk with EDB

Recent high-profile cloud provider outages have underscored the inherent risk of centralizing operations.
Your data and AI models are strategic assets that must be available wherever and whenever you need them,
secure and compliant. Sovereign.

The cost of cloud dependence

Risk, compliance, and the loss of strategic control

For enterprise IT leaders managing massive data portfolios and accelerating AI initiatives, the threat of vendor lock-in is no longer just a budgetary footnote—it’s an existential availability and compliance risk. When a centralized cloud region fails, recovery point objectives (RPO) are missed, operations halt, and reputation suffers.

How EDB Postgres^® AI delivers unrivaled sovereignty and hybrid control

Our unified data platform eliminates cloud lock-in with hybrid control and the seamless deployment flexibility required by complex enterprise infrastructures.

No single point of failure

By enabling multi-active deployment across private cloud, public cloud, and on-premises environments, we eliminate dependence on any single provider's uptime, maximizing operational resilience and providing enterprise-grade recovery time objectives (RTO).

Data and AI compliance

Maintain complete jurisdictional and operational control over sensitive data and AI models. Meet stringent regulatory requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, Data Residency mandates) by choosing precisely where your data resides and how it is governed.

Lower TCO, no database tax

Escape the punitive proprietary licensing, steep operational overhead, and excessive egress fees associated with traditional vendors and proprietary cloud solutions. Leverage enhanced open source PostgreSQL to deliver measurable 30–50% operational cost savings compared to traditional vendors.

Faster governed AI innovation

Deploy EDB Postgres AI (EDB PG AI)—the first open, enterprise-grade sovereign data and AI platform—where your models need to run. This ensures low-latency access to governed, integrated data, unifying transactional and vector workloads without compromising ownership.

Architecture for the hybrid enterprise

EnterpriseDB (EDB) is the most experienced provider of PostgreSQL, bringing decades of commercial-grade features, security, and world-class support to the world’s most trusted open source database. Technical capabilities include:

Flexible and hybrid
deployment strategy

Deploy EDB PG AI identically on-premises, in your private cloud, or on major public hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP). Our platform ensures consistent operations regardless of infrastructure choice, securing your long-term agility.

Advanced high availability (HA) and disaster recovery

Utilize EDB robust multi-region replication and automated failover mechanisms. This includes active-active/active-passive architectures, ensuring 99.999% uptime capabilities tailored specifically for distributed hybrid architectures.

Strategic Oracle offload and compatibility

Accelerate proprietary database offload with EDB’s comprehensive Oracle compatibility layer. This reduces complex migration time by up to 75% while maintaining critical application functionality and minimizing risk.

Enterprise security and
governance suite

Benefit from essential security features like granular user auditing, transparent data encryption (TDE), IP white-listing, and centralized management tools essential for maintaining rigorous compliance and security standards across distributed environments.

Integrated vector database capabilities

EDB PG AI seamlessly integrates advanced vector capabilities (via pg_vector) directly into the core transactional PostgreSQL database. This eliminates data silos, lowers latency, and provides a unified, sovereign platform for GenAI application development.

Proven resilience in global financial services

"EDB actually gave us more options to consider right out of the gate. This high availability, the clustering technologies, the different data types that it supported, the expandability and flexibility ... these were the unique things we were looking for. "

— Mike Swindle, DBA Manager, Regions Financial Corporation

Take control: Implement true data and AI sovereignty today

Don't wait for the next catastrophic cloud outage to evaluate your vendor dependence. With EDB, you can build database strategies that ensure continuous operation and provide true ownership over strategic data assets and AI initiatives.

Strategic risk and TCO assessment

Schedule a focused 45-minute consultation with an EDB solutions architect to map your current vendor dependencies, quantify your migration ROI, and define a roadmap for a resilient hybrid sovereign architecture.
