So
if these other platforms are up to MF levels, and they
are so much cheaper, why would anyone stay with a
mainframe today?
Two reasons:
1. Applications they use run on mainframes only.
2. For the same reason why Englishmen drive on left side. The change is
risky and costly.
Where are NEW customers of mainframe and z/OS?
We sometimes see messages about "another mainframe switched off". Where
are the new projects?
