CockroachDB and IBM
Resilient Data for a Smarter Enterprise
Cockroach Labs and IBM are delivering the next generation of enterprise infrastructure cloud-native, AI-ready, and built for always-on performance.
CockroachDB offers scalable, distributed SQL with enterprise-grade security, now fully integrated across IBM Cloud, IBM LinuxONE, IBM Z, Power Systems, and OpenShift.
One contract. One support model. Uncompromising quality.
Built for What’s Next
Whether you're scaling globally, powering AI workloads, or ensuring nonstop availability, CockroachDB and IBM deliver the foundational features you need to build and grow with confidence.
Always-On Availability
CockroachDB delivers active-active business continuity across multiple data centers / cloud regions with zero data loss by default — ensuring zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and near-zero RTO (Recovery Time Objective) — during upgrade, server failures, or even regional outages.
PostgreSQL Compatibility Without Compromise
CockroachDB combines the scale of distributed systems with the familiarity of SQL. PostgreSQL compatibility lets developers move fast, while built-in consistency and transactional guarantees ensure correctness at scale—no compromises required.
Data Where You Need It
Deploy globally without sacrificing data locality — keep data close to your users for lightning-fast performance and regional compliance. With row-level geo-partitioning, CockroachDB maintains precise control over where data lives and how it's accessed.
AI-Ready Infrastructure
CockroachDB streams real-time transactional data into watsonx.data for AI, analytics, and governance. It also serves as a vector store, enabling search across structured data and embeddings—making it a powerful foundation for RAG applications with watsonx.ai that deliver fast, relevant, and context-aware responses.
Hybrid Cloud Flexibility
Run CockroachDB wherever your applications live and on any Linux-based environment including IBM LinuxONE, IBM Z (Linux), Power Systems, OpenShift, IBM Cloud, or any public cloud.
