New offering designed to move SAP S/4HANA workloads from IBM Power Systems on-premises to cloud within 90 daysIndustry-leading reliability1 and built-in security of Power platform2Customized investment program to ease the transition to RISE with SAPFor over half a century, enterprises have used IBM’s infrastructure to host their mission-critical SAP systems for round-the-clock operations and safeguarding their sensitive business data. In 2022, SAP partnered with IBM to offer cloud infrastructure and technical managed services with the Premium Supplier option for RISE with SAP. To further help clients accelerate their move to Cloud ERP, IBM and SAP have announced the upcoming release of RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server. IBM Power Virtual Server offers a unique advantage to those enterprises that run SAP workloads on IBM Power servers in on-premise environments. It can help reduce risk and improve SAP S/4HANA migration time from IBM Power Systems on-premises to cloud within 90 days.3 The solution is planned to be available in the second quarter of 2025.

An announcement Tuesday by IBM and SAP detailing the upcoming release of an offering designed to move SAP S/4HANA workloads from IBM Power Systems on-premises to the cloud within 90 days has been described by an industry analyst as seeming “like a sales and marketing play more than anything.” Scott Bickley, advisory practice lead at Info-Tech Research, said a press release  outlining the pending launch of RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server, scheduled for the second quarter of 2025, “touts 10,000 customers over 50 years running SAP on IBM. That provides no real information about how many customers currently run SAP on IBM, and SAP has 437,000 customers, so even if all 10,000 are running SAP on IBM, that is ~2%, which is not material.” What it does, he said, is provide “another option for SAP customers who want to move to the cloud and run S/4HANA to utilize the IBM Power Virtual Server.”

Together, IBM and SAP aim to help organizations more seamlessly transition and modernize their on-premises ERP environments to the cloud and support AI-powered business processes. As a new SAP hyperscaler offering, RISE with SAP on IBM power Virtual Server can help reduce risk and improve SAP S/4HANA Cloud migration time from IBM Power Systems on-premises to cloud within 90 days.

International Business Machines Corp ( IBM, Financial ) and SAP SE have announced the launch of “RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server,” a new offering designed to facilitate the migration of SAP S/4HANA workloads from IBM Power Systems on-premises to the cloud within 90 days. From a financial standpoint, IBM’s partnership with SAP to offer RISE with SAP on IBM Power Virtual Server is a strategic move to capture a larger share of the cloud ERP market.

There is a patch queued up by an IBM engineer for adding preempt lazy support to PowerPC hardware. For Linux 6.13 the lazy preemption mode was exposed for x86/x86_64, RISC-V, and later added for LoongArch .

Christmas time is time to relax and think

We will stop building the Fedora Atomic Desktops for the PowerPC 64 LE architecture. As such, it makes sense for Fedora to stop building Atomic desktops for this architecture.

The playbook

Before getting too worked up when seeing the “cxl: Deprecate driver” patch, this is about the Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) that predates the Compute Express Link. IBM engineers announced they are deprecating the upstream CXL & CXLFLASH Linux kernel drivers with plans to then remove the drivers from the mainline kernel the following cycle.
