CockroachDB Now Available on IBM Cloud and IBM Power Systems

May 14, 2026
Cockroach Labs has announced that its distributed SQL database, CockroachDB, is now available in the IBM Cloud catalog and supported on IBM Power processor-based systems, offering enterprises a unified data platform across hybrid environments.

Cockroach Labs announced in a press release that IBM clients can now access CockroachDB through the IBM Cloud catalog, with full support for IBM Power processor-based servers. The integration allows enterprises to deploy CockroachDB across IBM Power Systems and IBM Cloud, maintaining consistency with workloads running on premises.

The collaboration provides a path for organizations to adopt distributed SQL within IBM’s ecosystem. Customers can procure and deploy CockroachDB directly through IBM Cloud agreements, including committed spend, and receive IBM-backed support and service-level agreements.

By combining IBM Power Systems and IBM Cloud with CockroachDB’s distributed architecture, enterprises can modernize existing infrastructure while enabling consistent data operations across hybrid environments. The offering supports both traditional transactional workloads and emerging AI applications that require distributed, consistent, and scalable data management.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
