Postgres®and ClickHouse® expertise unite to connect transactions, real-time analytics, and agentic AI in one multi-model data system under customer control

WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EnterpriseDB (EDB), the leading sovereign data and AI company, today announced the acquisition of Altinity, a leading independent provider of enterprise software, managed services, and support for ClickHouse software. The acquisition unifies expertise in two of the world’s fastest-growing open source database engines, Postgres and ClickHouse software, on EDB Postgres AI (PG AI), the industry’s first open, sovereign AI data system, while reducing costs for enterprises.

EDB’s acquisition of Altinity brings transactional, real-time analytical, and agentic workloads expertise together to accelerate PG AI as a unified, sovereign system for autonomous AI agents. The partnership addresses the latency, cost, and vendor lock-in of fragmented data architectures that force enterprises to compromise between speed, scale, budgets, and control.

“We are witnessing a fundamental architectural reset. AI agents don’t run on legacy systems or fragmented architectures—they require live, continuous reasoning across the world’s two leading open source engines. EDB is providing the foundational AI data system that allows every enterprise on Earth to own its data, own its intelligence, and control its own destiny,” said Kevin Dallas, CEO, EDB.

“Having these two engines together in one multi-model data layer radically reduces costs for customers. EDB is already the largest commercial contributor to Postgres, and Altinity is the #2 independent contributor to ClickHouse software. Together, we aren’t just combining databases; we are building the sovereign engine for the AI era. Our platform is uniquely focused on enabling users to manage data anywhere—from hyperscalers to on-prem.”

“Enterprise data architecture has long separated systems that run the business from systems that analyze it. Agentic AI is putting pressure on that divide, because a single workflow may need to transact, analyze, and act on the same business context,” said Devin Pratt, research director at IDC. “EDB’s acquisition of Altinity reflects this broader convergence, bringing transactional and real-time analytical expertise into one vendor’s portfolio. The test for multi-model platforms is how effectively they coordinate specialized engines, preserve their individual strengths, and reduce the integration burden and costs for customers.”

Enterprise ClickHouse software expertise at greater scale

Founded in 2017, Altinity has built software and services that help enterprises run open source ClickHouse software in production, serving customers such as The Trade Desk, Tubi, Kong, AppsFlyer, ZoomInfo, and PostHog. Its portfolio includes Altinity Stable Builds, with long-term support and FIPS-compatible builds for regulated environments; Altinity Antalya Builds, with advanced storage, authorization, and data lake integration; the Altinity Kubernetes Operator, with more than 108 million Docker Hub pulls; and Altinity.Cloud, which supports deployments in customers’ own cloud accounts.

Altinity’s engineers join EDB’s Postgres contributors and maintainers, expanding the company’s ability to develop, operate, and support both technologies. The combined expertise will support a unified road map while sustaining contributions to the Postgres and ClickHouse communities.

“Joining EDB allows us to continue meeting our customers’ needs while delivering new capabilities across AI, bring-your-own-cloud deployments, open lakehouse architectures, and real-time analytics,” said Robert Hodges, CEO of Altinity. “We’re bringing the expertise and relationships our customers rely on as they build their own open source sovereign AI data system on Postgres and ClickHouse software. Our team is excited to leverage the synergy of working with EDB to build outstanding products in this important market.”

Connecting real-time analytics to the sovereign AI data system

Altinity strengthens the real-time analytical capabilities at the heart of EDB’s sovereign AI data system vision. Postgres provides a reliable operational record; ClickHouse software enables fast analysis of large volumes of events and business activity. Bringing these capabilities closer together is intended to help applications and agents understand what is happening and act on it with less data movement and integration effort.

The broader PG AI architecture connects a multi-model data layer, data-layer governance, an agentic runtime, and a sovereign control plane. Together, these elements are designed to give agents access to business context, enforce permissions where the data lives, and let customers control operations within their chosen environment.

“Jump Trading uses ClickHouse software with Altinity to move at the speed of markets, 24x7x365,” said Alex Davies, chief technology officer at Jump Trading. “Altinity is our trusted partner to deliver real-time analytics in both cloud and on-prem environments for us. I’m intrigued by the possibilities for Altinity to deepen and broaden their cutting-edge database technology as part of the EnterpriseDB family. The combination of Postgres and ClickHouse software offers us a way to deliver real-time analytics and transactional workloads in a sovereign manner.”

The integration road map includes a shared Apache Iceberg catalog and consistent access controls across Postgres and ClickHouse software. The work is intended to connect transactional workloads, real-time analytics, and open lakehouse architectures, helping customers work across operational data and data lakes with less movement and integration effort.

“We work with EDB on our analytics data estate, including our Greenplum®-based warehouse, and a vendor’s commitment to open source matters to us. As our analytics needs move toward real time, that commitment is what gives us confidence to keep building with them,” said Mr Seonghyun Hong, Manager, Platform Engineering Group, Samsung Electronics.

Customers hold the keys for deployment and own the off switch

EDB plans to introduce integrated enterprise ClickHouse capabilities in Q4 2026. Its deployment road map spans four modes: bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC); developer cloud; self-hosted / on-premises on customer-managed Kubernetes or OpenShift; and physical far edge for air-gapped, fully disconnected execution on local hardware.

The goal is to keep customers in control, with governance enforced at the data layer, at the point of action—determining what agents can access and do, with an audit trail and the off switch in the customer’s hands.

Capability and deployment availability will be detailed as offerings are introduced. Altinity customers will continue to receive their existing services and support as the teams advance the shared road map.

The First Cartridge-Free Smart Waterless Diffuser Is Here. What Would You Fill It With?

Published

Lephrone set out to solve a frustration for customers who want smart control over their home fragrance and the freedom to choose their own oils. The H300 is the first waterless diffuser to combine cartridge-free refills, Wi-Fi app control, smart home integration, and an in-app fragrance oil library with scanning and personal notes. Customers can use their favorite compatible oils, create their own blends, and use the app to set a scenting schedule and track how much oil is left.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — “There are thousands of fragrance oils out there, so why lock yourself into just one brand?” said a Lephrone developer.

“Lephrone took the best of the diffuser world and left the worst behind.”

We wanted to make a device for people who need a ritual to unwind and want more control over their surroundings. There’s a whole world of sensory experiences out there, and our goal was to bring the way you manage scent at home into the digital world.

With the H300 lephrone diffuser, we kept what we liked about smart cartridge-based diffusers: Wi-Fi connectivity, lephrone app, voice control, and the ability to recognize oils and track how much is left. We made sure it supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. We also did away with what frustrated us most: never-ending subscriptions, cartridges that run out too quickly, and limits on which oils you can use. With the H300, you get to choose the oils you want and create blends you love.

We also added support for multiple users and multiple diffusers, so everyone in the household can control the devices and set schedules. The H300 can run even when it’s offline.

We’re releasing our own fragrances, too. In the app, you can scan them into your personal fragrance library and write down how a scent made you feel, whether you liked it, and what others at home thought of it. That matters because after trying a few oils, it’s easy to forget which one you loved most or which one everyone else kept asking for.

We’re rolling this out to more Lephrone models next. Stay tuned.
