Are you looking for PostgreSQL rebrands or POSTGRES (a la Berkely) re-brands?
AIUI Illustra is the latter but not the former.

Powergres is/was offered by SRA as a commercial, threaded windows version of
PostgreSQL. Also NuSphere/Peerdirect released a windows version of
PostgreSQL that iirc was called UltraSQL. There was also "Pervasive
Postgres" which was recently offered by Pervasive. I don't recall if Great
Bridge had such a repackaging, but someone else could probably chime in on
that. HTH.
