IBM spruces up its mainframes with new support for modern Arm workloads — firm teams up with Arm to run Arm workloads on IBM Z mainframes

IBM has partnered with Arm to enable Arm workloads to run on IBM Z mainframes and LinuxONE systems through emulation mode. This collaboration aims to allow enterprises to run AI and cloud-native workloads developed for Arm on IBM Z hardware with reliability and security. By bringing Arm workloads onto IBM Z systems, companies can reduce architectural complexity and operational overhead. While this approach may not offer top performance, it prioritizes total cost of ownership, stability, and scalability for enterprise workloads. The collaboration signifies a step towards evolving existing hardware and software to accommodate modern applications alongside legacy systems.
