I, too, got certified (or, according to some, certifiable) at the foundation level.
The "mainframe" could be a configuration item (CI) and should probably just be classified as a "server". CI specification varies from company to company.

The British started it. It migrated to the US when companies wanted to cut costs. Several years ago I was required to go through training and passed my certification for the first level. ITIL is a collection of best practices for running a company's IT. It deals with processes and is equipment independent. ITIL doesn't have terminology for mainframes. Thank you and have a Terrific day!
