OTOH, if you look at the global big new companies (e.g. Google,
Amazon, Facebook), nobody of them is running MF systems because
these companies are not captivated by legacy systems.
Instead, Google (as known to the public) is running a cluster
version of Linux based on commodity machines, Amazon is a pioneer
in cloud computing (see: http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/
archives/2012/08/15/amazon-direct-connect-comes-to-new-york/) , and
Facebookâs architecture is described here: http://

I can't find it know but I believe it was mentioned on here that
Google (maybe others as well) does have a mainframe. Not for search
engine "stuff" but for the business side (payroll etc)...
