In the realm of digital transformation (DX), there is a growing demand for hybrid environments that integrate diverse platforms such as on-premise, cloud, and edge systems, as well as for running systems across multi-cloud environments. Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres 17 addresses these evolving requirements by tackling the challenges of security and operability in such complex setups. Additionally, it continues to advance its capabilities to meet the needs of rapidly developing generative AI technologies.
Key innovations in Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres 17
- Generative AI for enterprise
As organizations increasingly leverage AI tailored to their unique industries and data sets, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology has emerged as a powerful tool. RAG enhances Large Language Model (LLM) accuracy by retrieving and processing external data to answer complex queries effectively. Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres 17 supports pgvector, an OSS extension that enables the storage, computation, and retrieval of vector data, such as text, images, and other data converted into numerical vectors to streamline the retrieval of highly relevant information for RAG.
With this capability, Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres 17 empowers organizations to optimize AI-driven operations with greater efficiency and accuracy, while protecting the data with its enterprise security features.
- Enhanced affinity in cloud environments
Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres 17 integrates with Amazon CloudWatch, a monitoring tool provided by Amazon Web Services, which provides increased operability on Amazon Web Services and decreases the risk of business interruption.
This version also takes database security to the next level by integrating with CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, enabling secure privileged user management. This enhancement protects sensitive data and mitigates risks associated with unauthorized access, ensuring peace of mind for organizations handling mission-critical information.
For more on database privilege management, you can access our brochure Achieving secure and productive database Privileged Access Management.
- Enhanced usability
We know from our customers and our engagement in the community that issues around VACUUM and the management of XIDs are one of the pain points Postgres users face. This version includes scripts for aggressive tuple freezing (VACUUM FREEZE), reducing operational risks and enhancing the reliability.
