Please explain..
I am currently going to school as a Network Administrator. But they do
not teach mainframes but apart from me taking this course, I also take
the time on my own to read upon these "beasts"
I just like to know about these Mainframes. There very interesting to
learn.
Thanks for all the feedbacks.
I would say that most mainframes today are not running Linux. That the
sites that are running Linux on their mainframes are not running the
types of application you are talking about, yet.
Mostly Linux on the MF was so that you could migrate what was on 10, 20,
200 Intel boxes that were sitting there 90% idle and put on a single box
and share CPU and Memeory resources.
