InterSystems Supported Platforms Update Feb-2023

Welcome to the very first Supported Platforms Update! We often get questions about recent and upcoming changes to the list of platforms and frameworks that are supported by the InterSystems IRIS data platform. This update aims to share recent changes as well as our best current knowledge on upcoming changes, but predicting the future is tricky business and this shouldn’t be considered a committed roadmap.

We’re planning to publish this kind of update approximately every 3 months and then re-evaluate in a year. If you find this update useful, let us know! We’d also appreciate suggestions for how to make it better.

With that said, on to the update…

I have been developing this project for many years. He helps me a lot in my daily work as a DBA and full stack developer.
This project has grown into a platform on which many of my other projects are based.
You can read more about the project in the article.
And I proposed this project for the contest, maybe it will be useful to you.

AWS launched their first generation of Amazon EC2 A1 instances last year, powered by Arm-based AWS Graviton processors.

AWS has officially released their second-generation Arm-based Graviton2 processors and associated Amazon EC2 M6g instance type, which boasts up to 40% better price performance over current generation Intel Xeon based M5 instances.

A few months ago, InterSystems participated in the M6g preview program, and we ran a few benchmarks with InterSystems IRIS that showed compelling results. This led us to support ARM64 architectures for the first time.

Now you can try InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health on Graviton2-based Amazon EC2 M6g instances for yourselves through the AWS Marketplace!

Beginning with

Starting with 2017.1, InterSystems is adding Ubuntu (64-bit) as a third linux server platform. Prior to 2017.1 Ubuntu was already available as a development platform and customers could use InterSystems distributions build for SUSE to run on Ubuntu. As a result there are a few license key implications for 64-bit linux versions starting with Caché and Ensemble 2017.1:

a) Customers using RedHat will observe no changes

b) Customers using InterSystems products⁽¹⁾ for SUSE on SUSE will need new license keys (no charge)

InterSystems has completed the verification process for OpenJDK 8.

Customers now have the option to either use the Oracle JDK, or the OpenJDK with all InterSystems products and versions that support Java 8.

Support for future versions will continue to be supported on both of these Java Development Kits.

InterSystems products (InterSystems IRIS, Caché and Ensemble) support AIX on Power 9 chips starting with:

Caché/Ensemble 2017.1.3

InterSystems IRIS 2018.1.1

As previously announced, 2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS 8.4-1H1 is the final major version of Caché and Ensemble. 2017.1 will not be available for VSI OpenVMS versions beyond 8.4-1H1.

Project related quality assurance efforts have revealed a number of concerns for the current release of 2017.1.0 and 2017.1.1 on all OpenVMS platforms. In certain situations, the impact can be severe.
