IBM has signed an OEM agreement with Cockroach Labs to deliver CockroachDB across IBM LinuxONE, Linux on Z, Power Systems, and Red Hat OpenShift. The partnership aims to provide a cloud-native, PostgreSQL-compatible resilient database for hybrid and Kubernetes environments. The offering intends to help organizations consolidate fragmented workloads, simplify operations, reduce risk, and modernize mission-critical applications dependent on mainframe hardware without requiring complete rewrites of core applications, though some intermediary components may be required. The solution may attract Db2 users building new cloud-native applications, while conversion of legacy Db2 applications could remain risk-sensitive.
"There was an appetite for deploying distributed environments on [application platform] OpenShift on x86 and moving to [server] LinuxONE and running potentially Linux on Z mainframe series. They want to be able to run all this in a hybrid manner. The only part of their database portfolio that had a gap was their ability to offer to their customers a PostgreSQL, resilient database."
"But the world's moving on and starting to deploy greenfield on the cloud,"
"the best in the industry"
