PhoenixAI Named AI-Powered Enterprise Agent Solution of the Year in the 2026 Tech Ascension Awards

An AI-native database engineered for the concurrency and latency demands that autonomous agents place on enterprise data.

MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PhoenixAI, the Agentic AI Database, today announced it has been named AI-Powered Enterprise Agent Solution of the Year in the 2026 Tech Ascension Awards. The program recognizes technology raising the bar across artificial intelligence and evaluates entries on demonstrated results rather than marketing claims.

As enterprises move autonomous agents from pilot into production, the demands those agents place on the data layer differ fundamentally from those of human analysts and scheduled reporting. Agents decompose a single request into many concurrent queries, explore rather than follow a predetermined path, and require current data rather than the most recent batch. PhoenixAI was purpose-built for that workload.

Concurrency is the clearest measure. The platform sustains more than 10,000 concurrent queries at sub-second latency across billions of rows without performance degradation, and streaming data becomes queryable within seconds of arrival rather than after the next scheduled job. Native reads on Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake, combined with joins performed at query time, allow agentic workloads to run against data in place, eliminating the migration work that delays most agent initiatives.

"Concurrency at this level isn't a benchmark figure, it's what a single production agent deployment generates on an ordinary day," said Andy Ye, co-founder and chief product officer of PhoenixAI. "That is the workload we built the engine for. It is also the one enterprises run into the moment agents leave the pilot stage."

Production deployments include AppLovin, Coinbase, Conductor and Demandbase.

NEXT QUERY 2026, PhoenixAI's virtual Data and AI Infrastructure Summit, takes up these workloads in depth on November 4. Registration is open at nextquery.phoenixdata.ai.

About PhoenixAI

PhoenixAI is the Agentic AI Database, purpose-built to give autonomous AI agents sub-second access to live enterprise data at massive scale. The platform unifies real-time and at-rest data in a single AI-native engine, combining the speed and concurrency that agentic workloads demand with the governance and deployment flexibility enterprises require to put AI into production. PhoenixAI runs fully managed inside the customer's cloud platform of choice, or self-managed on the customer's own private cloud, or on their own hardware, including on-premises. Formerly CelerData, and the creators of the StarRocks open source project, PhoenixAI is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Learn more at phoenixdata.ai.

About the Tech Ascension Awards

The Tech Ascension Awards recognize technology companies and products raising the bar across cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, DevOps and enterprise IT. Entries are evaluated on demonstrated facts, data and results rather than marketing claims, and are judged on innovation, market impact and the problem the technology solves.
