"IBM is collaborating with Cockroach Labs to help mainframe users modernize business-critical applications. The two companies have signed an OEM agreement to integrate CockroachDB, the distributed relational database with PostgreSQL compatibility, into IBM's hybrid infrastructure. According to The Register, IBM aims to enable organizations to use cloud-native databases on systems such as LinuxONE, Linux on Z, Power Systems, and Red Hat OpenShift."
"CockroachDB was developed as a modern, scalable database that runs on a distributed file system and provides an interface largely compatible with PostgreSQL. Although IBM offers Db2 in the cloud, that version does not have the same features as the mainframe variant. With this collaboration, IBM aims to offer customers a broader portfolio for hybrid and cloud environments, while allowing them to retain their existing infrastructure."
"According to Cockroach Labs, the move is in line with the growing demand for flexible, distributed databases that can run both on-premises and in the cloud. IBM brings decades of experience with mainframes, while Cockroach Labs focuses on cloud-native data platforms with high availability. CockroachDB was developed as a modern, scalable database that runs on a distributed file system and provides an interface largely compatible with PostgreSQL."
IBM and Cockroach Labs signed an OEM agreement to integrate CockroachDB into IBM's hybrid infrastructure, enabling cloud-native databases on LinuxONE, Linux on Z, Power Systems, and Red Hat OpenShift. The integration aims to simplify migration of business-critical mainframe workloads to modern environments without complete application rewrites. CockroachDB provides a distributed, PostgreSQL-compatible relational database designed for high availability and on-premises or cloud deployment. IBM's Db2 cloud offering differs from the mainframe variant, and the collaboration expands IBM's hybrid portfolio while preserving existing hardware investments. Partners offer migration automation, though experts express reservations about data conversion challenges.
