IBM and Arm Forge Dual-Architecture Processor for Enterprise

IBM and Arm are developing a new dual-architecture processor for future IBM Z and LinuxONE systems.

The integration puts Arm's widely adopted compute platform into mission-critical enterprise environments.

The processor enables Arm-native Linux environments to run alongside existing z/OS and Linux applications.

That lets businesses tap burgeoning software innovation powering modern cloud and AI infrastructure without migrating sensitive workloads.

The goal is to extend benefits of Arm's software ecosystem into IBM's high-reliability mainframe environments. That ecosystem boasts over 22 million developers.
