Forrester Names EDB a Leader in Multimodel Data Platforms

The evaluation places EDB in the Leader category, citing high marks for its innovation, roadmap, and vision. As businesses move away from fragmented, single-purpose data engines, EDB’s platform aims to bridge the gap by anchoring AI processing directly within the data layer. Forrester noted that the company serves as a strong choice for enterprises requiring open-source flexibility to manage mixed workload demands.

Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB, emphasized that the recognition validates the company’s focus on bringing intelligence to the data rather than moving data to the intelligence. The platform’s roadmap includes advancements in GPU-accelerated workloads, semantic intelligence, and governance, all designed to support the shift toward agentic AI. EDB PG AI is currently supported by a broad partner ecosystem, including industry giants such as NVIDIA, Dell, and IBM, and provides deployment options ranging from on-premises to hybrid cloud environments.
