Mainframes continue to be favored for mission critical computing
ST Team
How has mainframes evolved in the last few decades?
‘Mainframes’ comes from a terminology that was used to describe how computers were built in earlier days but later in the 60s and 70s it became synonymous to the complexity of technology involved in the types of computers used for business process. Mainframes today is very much alive, and is the core of every business process that people use today, be it smartphones, emails, travel transportation and more.
Why is Mainframes preferred for mission critical business process?
We refer to Mainframes as a class of computing rather than a type of system. They are known for their ability to rapidly scale for large complex computing needs. Also, security is synonymous to mainframes and hence it is the reason that financial institutions, government organizations, airports and may others depend on mainframes as a choice of computing.
