Case Study: U.S. Navy achieves secure, cost-effective, mission-ready PostgreSQL with EnterpriseDB

EDB supercharges PostgreSQL for U.S. Navy

EDB provides an enterprise-grade distribution of PostgreSQL that the U.S. Navy has relied on for more than a decade to meet demanding missions—Naval Surface Warfare Center programs, acoustics research, oceanographic data processing, and global tactical command and control. The Navy needed a secure, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to legacy databases that could run anywhere from laptops at the tactical edge to shipboard systems, data centers, or FedRAMP cloud environments while meeting stringent compliance requirements.

EDB deployed Postgres Advanced Server, delivering Oracle compatibility plus enhanced security and compliance (DADMS validation, FIPS 140-2, published DISA STIGs and multiple ATOs) and the ability to run across hybrid and edge environments. The result: PostgreSQL capabilities were expanded to support critical Navy systems reliably and securely, while delivering significant cost savings over legacy products.
