The demand for sovereign AI and data platforms is surging, especially within government and regulated industries. EnterpriseDB (EDB), the leading sovereign AI and data company, has announced its inclusion in the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government reference design. This integration provides a comprehensive blueprint for government agencies and high-assurance enterprises to deploy secure, scalable, and sovereign AI infrastructure, unifying data and AI layers within a single, trusted platform.
EDB Postgres AI is now part of the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government reference design.
The integration provides a sovereign data foundation for AI in the public sector.
It enables a "model-to-data" architecture, keeping sensitive information within secure environments.
The solution accelerates RAG systems with integration to NVIDIA NeMo Retriever.
EDB is actively working toward FedRAMP Authorization for its platforms.
The platform supports compliance with STIGs, FIPS 140-3, and Iron Bank containers.
This collaboration addresses the critical need for sovereignty in AI deployments. According to EDB's research, 95% of enterprises plan to establish their own AI and data platforms within three years. By integrating EDB Postgres AI with NVIDIA's full-stack infrastructure design, organizations can deploy mission-critical AI applications with the assurance, scalability, and control required for their most sensitive workloads.
Nancy Hensley, chief product officer at EDB, emphasized the importance of choice and control, stating, “AI can’t reach its full potential in government or regulated industries without sovereignty and choice. Our integration with NVIDIA gives agencies the flexibility to deploy EDB Postgres AI wherever their data and mission demand—on-prem, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments—while meeting high standards of security and compliance.”
The EDB Postgres AI platform is architected for maximum flexibility, enabling sovereign deployments that adapt to strict operational and compliance requirements. It leverages NVIDIA NeMo Retriever and NVIDIA NIM microservices to deliver a high-performance path to production AI.
Key capabilities of the integrated solution include a "model-to-data" architecture, which allows AI models to be run locally, ensuring data never leaves the sovereign environment. It also accelerates Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for more accurate and context-aware AI responses.
Security is built-in, with EDB actively pursuing FedRAMP Authorization. The solutions support compliance with Database Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), FIPS 140-3 validation, and deliver Iron Bank–hardened containers for U.S. federal government agency customers. This makes EDB Postgres AI a unified and secure foundation for deploying the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government, empowering public sector organizations to harness the power of AI without compromising on data sovereignty or security.
EDB Postgres® AI (EDB PG AI) is the first open, enterprise-grade sovereign data and AI platform—secure, compliant, and scalable, on-premises and across clouds. Built on Postgres, the world’s leading database, EDB PG AI unifies transactional, analytical, and AI workloads, enabling organizations to operationalize their data and LLMs while maintaining control over sovereign environments. EDB PG AI is supported by a global partner network and delivers up to 99.999% availability as well as hybrid management and a built-in AI factory. As one of the most active contributors to the PostgreSQL project, EDB is deeply invested in the vitality of the global community.
