While many predicted mainframes would eventually become obsolete, they continue to be prevalent in the corporate world. Mainframes are still in high demand, and the mainframe market is likely to grow over the next few years as business and IT leaders validate its enduring role in their hybrid strategies. Mainframes are rapidly evolving to meet the demands of today’s changing technology and business environments. How can we leverage the mainframe for reliability, availability and security? How does open source fit in with the mission-critical workloads that only a mainframe can drive?
