Faced with the rising cost of an underwhelming legacy infrastructure, GKN Powder Metallurgy - world-leading provider of powder metal materials, components, and solutions - decided to migrate its business intelligence systems to a more scalable, cost-effective solution: By leveraging the inherent flexibility and scalability of PostgreSQL and advanced features from EDB, GKN was able to optimize its legacy application code, improve overall system performance, and unlock new capabilities while generating significant cost savings. In this talk, Roman Jaeger, database administrator at GKN, will outline their Postgres experience and explain why he sees AI as the next logical step on their database journey.

But how can we make mission critical data available for advanced insights and AI without violating regulatory and corporate data privacy rules? And how can we attach the growing variety of new unstructured data sources in a reliable and compliant fashion?

Torsten Steinbach, VP and Chief Architect for Analytics & AI Sovereign at EDB, will shed light on how you can achieve sovereign data and AI by staying fully in control of the whereabouts of your data and bringing your AI models and applications to your data, instead of the other way around. Find out how to leverage the battle-proof enterprise data technology of Postgres for this purpose, delivered by the largest open-source contributor and Postgres solutions provider. In this session you will gain insight into a hybrid cloud platform that combines Postgres operational management with AI models and AI applications on Kubernetes.
