EDB Recognized as a Leader in Multimodal Data Platforms Assessment

EnterpriseDB (EDB), a prominent player in the realm of sovereign data and AI, recently announced its recognition as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™ evaluation for Multimodal Data Platforms in the second quarter of 2026. This accolade highlights the capabilities of EDB Postgres® AI (EDB PG AI), which was evaluated favorably across both the strategic vision and current offering categories. Moreover, it achieved the highest score in crucial metrics such as Vision, Innovation, Roadmap, and Partner Ecosystem.

In today's fast-paced business environment, enterprises strive to consolidate their varied, purpose-specific data engines into a comprehensive platform that can seamlessly support transactional, analytical, and AI workloads in this evolving agentic era. EDB PG AI is designed to meet this challenge, effectively extending transactional workloads to accommodate analytical and AI processing on a unified, open-source foundation. This platform promotes interoperability, sovereign deployments, and use cases for agentic AI, making it a well-rounded solution for modern data management needs.

The Forrester report reveals EDB's ambitious vision to establish itself as the leading Postgres Multimodal Data Platform (MMDP) for the agentic era. EDB's strategy is firmly rooted in significant investments in research and development focused on enhancing inferencing capabilities, accelerating analytics, and promoting AI-driven automation. Furthermore, the report indicates that EDB's advanced roadmap addresses the shift toward multimodal applications of agentic AI, encompassing GPU-accelerated workloads, semantic intelligence, data governance, and knowledge graphs.

EDB’s standing as a strong choice for organizations requiring the flexibility of open-source solutions and versatile deployment options is substantiated, especially when managing mixed translytical and AI workload requirements.

Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB, commented on this recognition by stating, "This acknowledgment serves as a testament to our efforts toward creating a platform that empowers data-driven intelligence, rather than the other way around. In this agentic era, AI operates at the data layer, governed, sovereign, and applied at the source. We believe being recognized as a Leader affirms that the future of enterprise AI lies in being open, sovereign, and built upon Postgres."

This recognition follows EDB's recent introduction of its agentic database and converged analytics capabilities, which are now generally available as part of EDB PG AI, along with governance features being offered in preview mode. Built on open-source Postgres and employing open table formats, EDB PG AI is designed to function in various environments—on-premises, hybrid, or across cloud platforms—boasting support from a global partner ecosystem that encompasses renowned names like Dell, IBM, NVIDIA, Red Hat, and Supermicro.
