Insight and Outlook, Part 11: The Resurgence of the Mainframe - Reassess the Mainframe as the Center of Your Business Management System
Overview IBM has seen growth in its System z mainframe business for six of the last nine quarters, according to IBM quarterly earnings statements. A curious, possibly surprising development, eh? Midsize UNIX boxes, grid computing schemes, and server farms made up of dozens of smaller systems seem to dominate today's IT infrastructure. On the software side, the authors hear about lightweight scripting, high-level languages, distributed application architectures such as Web services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and so on. It seems a foregone conclusion that the days of CICS programming and big iron are soon to be far behind, right?
