As of October 15, 2024, support for Caché & Ensemble on MacOS will be Deprecated.
Caché & Ensemble 2018.1.9 will continue to be supported, however there will be no further maintenance releases for MacOS. This means Caché & Ensemble 2018.1.9 will be the final version of these products on MacOS.
As a reminder, maintenance releases for Caché and Ensemble on the other supported platforms will come to an end on March 31, 2027. More details on that can be found in last year’s announcement.

It’s hard to believe that this wraps up our first year of quarterly platform updates. Thank you for making this a great first year. Today’s update talks about the planned Minimum Supported CPU list, OpenSSL 3.0 for AIX reaching GA, and a bit more. We’ll be back for 2024!

InterSystems will end support for using the VxFS filesystem with InterSystems IRIS and label it as deprecated as of the release of InterSystems IRIS 2023.3. InterSystems will continue to support any existing customers using the technology, but it is no longer recommended for new deployments.
VxFS had only been supported on SUSE Linux. Impacted customers are encouraged to migrate to XFS or another supported filesystem.
Customers with questions should reach out to their account team or contact me directly.
CentOS will no longer be a supported development platform as of the release of InterSystems IRIS 2023.3.
CentOS had been a supported development platform to give developers a free-to-use equivalent to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for IRIS development. As you're probably aware, Red Hat made significant changes to CentOS which moved it to being “upstream” of RHEL. This means it has bugs & features not yet included in RHEL, which can cause problems for developers building on the platform.
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud provides a broad set of infrastructure services, such as compute resources, storage options, and networking that are delivered as a utility: on-demand, available in seconds, with pay-as-you-go pricing. New services can be provisioned quickly, without upfront capital expense. This allows enterprises, start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses, and customers in the public sector to access the building blocks they need to respond quickly to changing business requirements.

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've added a new channel to the Developer Community Discord Server, #platforms. This is a good place to discuss issues related to Operating Systems, CPU architectures, and Containers supported by InterSystems products.
To kick things off, let's talk CentOS.
Hello Community,
We're happy to announce that the InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, HealthShare Health Connect, & InterSystems IRIS Studio 2022.2 is out now!
And to discuss all the new and enhanced features of it we'd like to invite you to our webinar What’s New in InterSystems IRIS 2022.2.
Did anybody tried/ suceeded to install IRIS System on a NAS Server?
InterSystems is pleased to announce a new Developer Download site providing full kit versions of InterSystems IRIS Community Edition and InterSystems IRIS for Health Community Edition. These are available free of charge for application development use.
You can download directly from the InterSystems Developer Community by selecting Download InterSystems IRIS.
This post provides useful links and an overview of best practice configuration for low latency storage IO by creating LVM Physical Extent (PE) stripes for database disks on InterSystems Data Platforms; InterSystems IRIS, Caché, and Ensemble.
AWS launched their first generation of Amazon EC2 A1 instances last year, powered by Arm-based AWS Graviton processors. At AWS re:Invent 2019, Amazon announced the second-generation AWS Graviton2 processors and associated Amazon EC2 M6g instance type, boasting up to 40% better price performance over current generation Intel Xeon based M5 instances.
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.
Hi All,
Excluding RHEL which linux distro are used to be choice for a production cluster environment.

Beginning with InterSystems IRIS 2020.1, the minimum required version for AIX is AIX 7.1 TL4.
The InterSystems IRIS installer will detect if the required IBM XL C filesets are installed before continuing
with the installation.
With the recent release of macOS 10.15, Apple has tightened its control mechanism , called Gatekeeper, so that it now requires executables to be notarized. InterSystems products are not currently supported for use on macOS 10.15 and the executables have not been notarized. (As a reminder, InterSystems products are supported on macOS as a development platform only.)
Hello,
I try to open an existing log file and append to it. In Windows I use Open file:(NRW):1. I would expect it to append to the file, but each time I execute the code I get only the new entries, the prior file content is lost.
What is the proper syntax top open a file in "Append" mode?
I will deploy this code in Linux. Is there a different syntax to open a file in Linux versus Windows?
Thanks,
Oliver Wilms
