The value of the mainframe
The modernised mainframe still has a bright future as Enterprise Server 3.0
2024 Bloor, All Rights Reserved.
For the largest systems, it is simply easier (and probably cheaper) to provide the levels of throughput, resiliance and security that a large regulated business requires on a mainframe, but the mainframe can become a risk-averse silo, acting as a brake on the evolution of a mutable business. The mainframe must be modernised as “just another – very powerful – server”, playing an equal part in enterprise IT, and its cultural silo must be dismantled. We call the modernised mainframe Enterprise Server 3.0 (ES-3) – 1.0 was the 1980s mainframe, 2.0 was the (incompletely delivered) 1990s clustering technology.
